Signs of An Engine Problem

Engine trouble is the absolute worst! Nothing quite causes stress like a malfunctioning engine. We’ve all seen that poor motorists pulled off to the side of the road with smoke fuming out of the front hood of their car and frantically trying to figure out what went wrong? A lot of factors determine just how long a lifespan your vehicle's engine will have. Calculate in the year of manufactured, the amount of mileage or usage. Are you giving the car regular oil changes and keeping up with maintenance? What make or brand is it and are there any known engine difficulties? In order to prevent yourself from becoming that person on the side of the road, we’ve created a small index that will help you to identify signs that your engine is in need of a tune-up or replacement. Read below, and remember you can google almost anything but there is no information like the kind you get from hands-on professionals like Japanese Auto Care Specialists. Our specialists are here to answer specific questions and discuss the concerns of our clients. Here are some signs of an engine problem:

Lower gas mileage

If you’re at the gas pump more often but haven’t changed your driving habits, there could be an issue with the compression of your engine. Potential solutions include using a fuel cleaner or getting a tune-up. An engine diagnostic from our repair specialist will clarify the issue and provide options.

Knocking and banging

Popping and other loud noises from your vehicle when you start the engine is often an indication of a problem with the internal combustion flow and a clear sign to schedule a service appointment.

Engine stalling

Several issues can cause an engine to stall including problems with the air/fuel mixture, or issues with the intake stroke. Investigate ongoing stalls promptly, to avoid more expensive damage down the road.

Engine odor

An engine exhaust will emit strong smelling, toxic fumes just prior to failing and indicates the need for an engine diagnostic ASAP.

Radiator Repair and Inspection
in Margate, Pompano Beach
and Coral Springs

The radiator in your vehicle keeps the engine cool and safeguards it against overheating. In addition, components in the cooling system of your vehicle eventually build up deposits that require a radiator flush to keep your engine running smoothly. In simpler terms, without a functional car radiator, your engine would overheat and create some serious damage to all the inner mechanics in your vehicle, it would also be deemed a safety hazard because of potential leaks.

Don’t wait until your car overheats and you are stuck at the side of the road. Have your radiator fluid levels and its other components checked regularly as part of a preventative maintenance program.

Dangers of Radiator Leaks

Everyone seems to assume that engine and brake complications are the most dangerous and cause the majority of accidents. This isn’t necessarily true. An automobile radiator leak is extremely hazardous and toxic. The moment you notice a red or green fluid seeping from your car, it is unsafe to drive. A coolant puddle is highly toxic for both the people and the environment. So make sure your pets or kids are not anywhere need the vicinity. The best thing to do would be to call in a mechanic to take a look at the vehicle and see if a full replacement is necessary if repairs can solve the problem.

Radiator Flush

The coolant in your radiator should be flushed and replaced every two years. Ask a Japanese Auto Care Specialists technician about longer-lasting products for maximum performance. We invite you to visit our auto shop for a free radiator repair estimate and to check for leaks, or damage to gaskets and hoses.
