The replacement or repair of an engine is one of the most expensive jobs that car owners will ever go through. Engine issues should be inspected as soon as you suspect them. We discuss the most common engine failure warning indicators below. When you suspect engine trouble, contact G & J Auto Repair Shop in Inglewood and Bellflower, CA, for expert service.
Loud Knocking Noises
An engine problem is likely to be to blame if you hear knocking from beneath the hood. These noises are often brought on by bearing wear. Your car's bearings begin to degrade after 75,000 miles or when they are not properly lubricated. Consult a mechanic before your engine malfunctions since bearings have an effect on all other engine parts.
The Engine Lacks Power
Having an older car can make acceleration more difficult. There may be problems even while the car is idle. There are a number of causes for this issue, however, a clogged part is the primary culprit in most cases. Injectors, fuel filters, or air filters can all be blocked, resulting in a lack of power. When these components are covered in dirt, they stop functioning. Low engine power may be caused by a clogged exhaust pipe, faulty sensors, or spark plugs.
Exhaust Smoke is Pouring Out
Excessive exhaust smoke is bad news for your vehicle and the environment. The color of the smoke can help you determine what's wrong. Blue smoke normally denotes an oil leak or other oil issue, whereas white smoke points to a cooling system or injector problem. When an engine is using too much fuel, it may emit black smoke.
