Engine failure is always a stressful scenario for everyone. But smart choices always make us less vulnerable to expensive repair. The more you ignore the problem, the more tricky it will become to diagnose. Here know some of the most common causes of vehicle engine failure and how to diagnose them qucikly.
5. The engine coverts the gasoline to energy through
combustion process which makes the vehicle run.
6. It's also a universal truth that rough driving
and the ignorant driver can kill the engine.
7. Let's have a look on the causes of engine problem :-
8. Improper oil change schedule :-
Vehicle needs oil change in right time which can protect the
engine and its components from getting rusty and remove
excess heat.
9. Irregular oil change causes the engine to overheat and that
results in a poor fuel economy.
10. Engine starts to show problem when you add lower octane level
oils than prescribed in owner's manual.
Use of lower octane fuel :-
11. The bad fuel can clog the intake valve, spark plug etc which
results in improper fuel delivery and misfire.
12. As per owner's manual, make sure to
use recommended additive and right
octane fuel that will give a better fuel
economy.
13. A leaking oil pump can cause misfire and
loss of fuel within a very limited period of
time.
Oil Pump Failure :-
14. The leakage also can cause overheat as the
right amount of fuel doesn't get delivered to
the combustion chamber.
15. Spark knock happens due to excess heat generation at time of
combustion due to improper fuel ratio.
Spark knock:-
16. When spark knock starts, it generates a metallic knocking or
pinging noise as a symptom of this issue.
17. This sensor measures the amount of oxygen left unborn in the
exhaust.
Faulty oxygen sensor :-
18. This problem of improper oxygen leads to lower gas mileage
and release of harmful gases to environment.
19. The leaking coolant or lower coolant level can harm the engine
while engine overheats at time of combustion.
Coolant leaking :-
20. Make sure to keep the coolant in its appropriate level and the
cooling system in good working condition.
21. When spark plug gets worn out, it causes misfire and loss of
fuel economy.
Worn out spark plug :-
22. The misfire also leads to damage of other engine component due
to overheating.
23. The loosen gas cap can give potential risk of gas evaporation
from the vehicle.
Loosen gas cap :-
24. This problem ultimately leads to decrease the gas mileage and
give you a potentially expensive repair bill.
25. Sometimes the worn out engine bearings can cause the engine
not to start and this only can be avoided by a thorough servicing
and maintenance.
26. If the piston ring is worn out then it
also makes the engine not to start after
a proper combustion.
