3 Common Indications Of Car Engine Failure by mokoprem: 2:16am On Aug 11, 2017 |
How does a car or truck owner determine they have automotive engine repair needs? The best way to determine what condition your engine is in, you must make a few important observations first. Detecting signs of engine wear and tear early on is necessary if you wish to extend the lifespan of your car or truck. Continue reading to learn about some common warning signs that suggest engine repair and service is in order. ![]() Major and Minor Engine Failure When you are driving your car, you can tell if your vehicle is cooperating as usual, or if it is doing something it normally does not. This is where you need to pay attention in order to determine if your car or truck needs engine repair or some other kind of repair or service. Common indications that suggest a car or truck may need some service or repair include strange noises, changes in drivability, unusual odors or gasoline smells, shaking, vibrating, and stalling. The most common signs that indicate your car or truck engine is failing to include these similar symptoms and more: 1. Engine Stalling When an engine stall, this could mean a variety of problems. It could be a simple fix, such as replacing or charging the car battery; or it could be something more serious, like a failing engine. A one-time stall usually means a battery or fuel issue; but if you are experiencing frequent stalling, this could mean you need to repair your engine or replace it entirely. 2. Banging and Clinking Noises in the Engine Carriage If you are hearing strange, and even loud, noises coming from the engine region of your vehicle, this is a sign of wear and tear. The diagnosis could be a number of things; from spark plugs to engine oil. Piston rings, the connector rod, crankshaft, valves, sump, cylinders, and more can all cause these strange noises to occur. It is important to have your car engine inspected every few thousand miles to make sure these engine components and more are all functional and in good condition. 3. Overheating An engine in a car or truck can overheat for several reasons. A car or truck engine requires a specific supply of anti-freeze to help prevent an engine from overheating. It travels through all the engine components, keeping them cool while in drive-mode. To accurately determine what is causing the overheating to happen, identify when the car or truck is overheating. If it is overheating while driving at high speeds, it could mean the thermostat is broken, there's a kink in the radiator hose or other radiator problems. If your vehicle's engine overheats at a standstill, the possibilities include an inoperative electric cooling fan, faulty AC sensors, bad head gaskets, bad radiator cap, and again, low coolant levels. It is important to have your car or truck inspected and maintained regularly by a licensed automotive repair technician. Be sure to use a qualified and professional company to facilitate engine work on cars and trucks. The engine is the heart and soul of every vehicle and requires significant and meticulous care in order to extend its lifespan and preserve its performance values.
