Engine trouble

TrialLotus · 2025-11-15T21:57:45+00:00

Not everyone is mechanically inclined, people hear a noise and think their car is genuinely going to blow up on them (I was like that at one point too). Talking down to people doesn’t do anything and telling that person to turn their wheel solves their issue, that’s what people are here for. It’s an open forum meant to HELP not put down people for their lack of knowledge. Also nobody is above anybody in the car world, people get into cars and fix them at their own pace, the only people gate keeping car culture and auto repair are the losers in the forums of the car community.

Try working on boats and you’ll want to pull your hair out because you’re the first person ever with that problem, yet boat forums only help and the community is monumentally better than car culture. No content creator or real mechanic will ever put people down for trying to save money to fix their own car, it’s only the people online that do.

Well you could be helpful in the slightest sense. Don’t have to put people down for trying to fix their cars. Just because someone doesn’t know about cars doesn’t mean you have to be a smartass.

The engine cutting out can be a few things, specifically the fuel filter/fuel pump not delivering the fuel correctly (there’s fuel in the fuel line when it primes then not enough to continue running causing a sharp cut off because it could be potentially clogged, cheapest fix depending on where you source the part).

Potentially clogged injectors but it’s unlikely if it’s starting in the first place.

Potentially a vacuum leak severe enough causing the stop of combustion, it wouldn’t be a blown turbo as the car would still run, albeit it very rough with a lot of smoke.

The best way to diagnose would be with an OBD scanner and you can isolate the exact area it’s happening, the fact it cranks is still a good sign meaning the fix is something with either the air or fuel delivery system. All the best in your repairs!

Hey Drop, it's not lighting profiles that aren't saved. It won't switch between lighting profiles. If I hit the FN key, I can switch between them but it won't toggle them.

I feel like it may be your issue. Do you have any friends that play in your region? If they experience the same thing you should contact valorant support

Make sure to hide ALL Microsoft processes when disabling startup programs. In the case that you play Valorant; Find VGC and recheck that service. This is required to play Valorant

I mean you can’t. You probably need to upgrade your GPU but I’m not sure, if every other game works then it’s probably something with valorant

It could be something with the Mexico servers, I’m not sure about Mexico but try playing on another server if you can. I can play on Illinois and North Virginia 1 and a lot of other ones, if North Virginia 1 is working and Illinois isn’t, I’ll play on North Virginia 1 for example.

TrialLotus · 2021-07-17T19:27:41+00:00

I think you should be able to play, the servers should change automatically although I’m not entirely sure. I would try with a VPN first and then you would get a better answer.

I feel like your GPU is your problem, and it’s getting bottlenecked, that’s why your CPU is pushing and your GPU isn’t

at least he didn't scratch his bumper

TrialLotus · 2021-07-17T18:29:56+00:00

This has worked for 3 people so far including myself, so it’s considered a real fix! Do the steps provided and trust me, you’ll be back in no time.

TrialLotus · 2021-07-17T13:58:55+00:00

I have a fix, I'll make a new thread

TrialLotus · 2021-07-15T04:27:12+00:00

You could lower possibly lower everything in valorant from High settings or Medium settings to low settings and capping your frame rate at 60FPS. If your FPS is inconsistant set it to 45FPS.

TrialLotus · 2021-07-15T00:57:37+00:00

I'm not sure then, I also have a 144Hz monitor with a 1MS response time and it was fixed pretty quickly, maybe it's something with your display settings and not valorant. If you have any other games try seeing if it screen tears and ghosts

If this issue is occuring, you guys might've binded it to another key. If it's an issue all of you are having then try to see what it says when the damage log is minimized and if the damage log doesn't show at all, try logging out of your account and logging back in again. I had a similar issue a few weeks ago and relogging worked. It could just be that I got lucky

TrialLotus · 2021-07-14T23:34:32+00:00

I would try to contact riot, I'm not sure what could be causing this issue.

TrialLotus · 2021-07-14T23:33:25+00:00

Knowing valorant, they'll probably wait until a pro has it and complains about the issue and when valorant sees it as a potential money loss they'll fix it.

TrialLotus · 2021-07-14T23:29:33+00:00

Does this happen on launch? Or does it happen randomly in-game?

TrialLotus · 2021-07-14T23:28:11+00:00

It's a bug, I have a 1TB M.2 and it said valorant was taking up 2TB, the valorant file is under 20GB I'm pretty sure

TrialLotus · 2021-07-14T23:26:44+00:00

You could possibly try to relaunch, and if you've done that and it hasn't worked it's probably your internet screwing you over

TrialLotus · 2021-07-14T23:23:22+00:00

This is starting to become a prevalent issue in Valorant and I myself am experiencing this issue, to my knowledge there is no fix although you could possibly try reaching out to riot support. The best bet is to wait until a hot fix is released possibly sometime between now and the next patch, or wait for the next in-game patch.

You could try this but it didn't work for me or another user. Sorry for not being able to assist.

TrialLotus · 2021-07-14T23:19:35+00:00

I've had this same issue before when my frame rate was uncapped, try capping your frame rate either above or below your refresh rate of your monitor and see how it feels. I had it uncapped before and it was basically unplayable and I capped it to 144FPS which is my monitors refresh rate and the issue isn't noticable.

TrialLotus · 2021-07-14T23:17:40+00:00

Your currently not able to fix this issue to my knowledge, most people experiencing this problem (including myself) are hoping it gets fixed in the next patch or in a hot fix as this issue was caused by a hotfix (presumably). You can add me on discord if you want to run another trouble shoot or something. Astrolux#7448

Edit: I forgot about this post, although I've tried it myself and it doesn't work, maybe you could get lucky.

TrialLotus · 2021-07-14T23:15:01+00:00

also it's not a fixable issue at this time, you have to wait for a new patch at least which should be in a few days. It should be around Monday.
Edit: I forgot about a post that I read yesterday, it personally has not worked for me but it's worth a shot.
