Common Signs of Engine Trouble

Ignoring engine problems can lead to more significant damage and costly repairs. If you notice any of the following symptoms, it's time to schedule a professional diagnostic inspection:

  • Check Engine Light Is On: This is your car’s primary way of telling you something is wrong with the engine, emissions, or related systems.
  • Engine Overheating: A temperature gauge in the red or steam from under the hood are urgent signs that require immediate attention.
  • Unusual Noises or Smoke: Knocking, grinding sounds, or excessive white/blue smoke from the exhaust indicate serious internal issues.
  • Loss of Power or Poor Performance: A noticeable decrease in acceleration or fuel efficiency often points to an underlying engine problem.
  • Milky Oil or Coolant Loss: These are classic symptoms of a potential head gasket failure.
