Common Signs You're Having Engine Trouble

Engine issues often start small but escalate quickly. Watch for these early warning signs and get them checked before serious damage sets in:

Knocking or Tapping Sounds

Metallic engine noises often point to internal wear, lack of oil pressure, or valve issues.

Excessive Exhaust Smoke

Blue, white, or black smoke can signal oil burning, coolant leaks, or rich fuel mixtures.

Check Engine Light

This alert may signal anything from a misfire to a sensor or emission control issue.

Loss of Power or Poor Acceleration

Reduced throttle response can be caused by ignition, fuel, or air intake problems.

Engine Overheating

An overheating engine can lead to blown gaskets, warped heads, or full breakdowns if ignored.

Rough Idling or Stalling

An engine that shakes, stalls, or surges at idle needs immediate attention and diagnosis.
