Engine stalling after a while from driving

[TixBlox]

I am currently building an engine (modular) but after a while of driving it stalls and turns to 2-4 rpm , it cant be a fuel problem because i had inf fuel same with electricity also to add to the engine stalling when my clutch is at 1 the rpm drops even with infinite fuel

It sounds like your engine is not venting the exhaust properly and it will get to a point where it chokes out the engine. What does the tool tip say about your exhaust output on your manifold when you hover over the part when it's stalling?

Some workshop-engine-controllers don't like inf electricity set to on.

i havent really seen the tooltip but im pretty sure its piped correctly the exhaust is dircetly behind the proppeler

From an exhaust perspective it may look correct but it may actually not be clearing properly. What looks like it should work dies because the game calculates some sort of reverse pressure where the exhaust is being pushed back in to the manifold. It's a bit maddening. A suggestion: post your creation to the workshop so that we can actually see it. It is very difficult to troubleshoot otherwise.

It probably gets over stressed, you may need an automatic clutch.

infinite fuel can affect the air-fuel ratio of an engine, that may be the issue, use a fuel tank instead.

i am currently using a fuel tank i was just trying to see if it would work with infinite fuel after it stalls

odd, upload your creation here, and i (or somebody else) will take a look at it!
i do love a good mystery.

i found the problem, i was making the clutch at 0.65 which was overheating the engine and my modular engine controller was shutting down the engine as overhear protection
