1. How Would You Know Your Engine Needs A Repair It can be difficult to determine when your vehicle is starting to have engine problems. Faulty parts can cause a range of issues, so pinpointing the source can be tricky. But you don't have to look far once you recognize the signs of an engine that's going bad. Without regular engine service, your car is at risk for multiple problems — car won't start, poor acceleration, and more. Taking your car in for regular service is the best way to ensure those parts are running as they should. Here are some important signs to know if your car needs a repair - Gas Mileage Decrease - When your car runs on low levels of fuel, it's easy to attribute poor performance to lack of fuel. But it's important for you to know that your car might be suffering from an underlying issue like clogged fuel injectors. If you don't want to wait until the next time your tank is empty, then you can also take it for an engine diagnostic test. Check Engine Light - The engine light is on. This might mean there's a problem with your engine. The first thing you should do is to contact your mechanic. They'll plug the diagnostic software into the port under the car's dashboard, then read the code that is being detected by the sensor. This will tell them what's causing the light to turn on. Once they know that, they can fix it. Disturbing Noise - If you're experiencing abnormal engine noises, you may need an engine service. Sounds like knocking, backfiring and spitting and popping can be caused by a number of issues, including low oil level or low oil quality. Stalling of Engine - When the clutch pedal and gas pedal are not engaged in manual transmissions, cars will often stall. If your transmission is also stalling, have it checked out by a professional immediately. Engine running when you turn the ignition off - This is most common in high-performance vehicles and usually happens when the octane in the gas is incorrect. In other cases, the solenoid or carburetor could be causing the problem. If you are looking for more information about engine service?
