Unexpected stalling: Can occur at intersections o r in heavy traffic, creating hazards.

Increased fuel consumption and emissions: Misfires and inefficient combustion waste fuel and pollute the environment.

Potential engine damage: Prolonged sputtering can harm pistons, catalytic converters, o r the fuel system.

Pull over safely if sputtering becomes severe o r unpredictable.

Check fuel level and ensure no recent contamination.

Schedule inspection with a certified mechanic to diagnose ignition, fuel, o r air intake issues.
