Engine issues often start small but escalate quickly. Watch for these early warning signs and get them checked before serious damage sets in:
Metallic engine noises often point to internal wear, lack of oil pressure, or valve issues.
Blue, white, or black smoke can signal oil burning, coolant leaks, or rich fuel mixtures.
This alert may signal anything from a misfire to a sensor or emission control issue.
Reduced throttle response can be caused by ignition, fuel, or air intake problems.
An overheating engine can lead to blown gaskets, warped heads, or full breakdowns if ignored.
