Does Your Car Need an Engine Diagnostic from Your Chrysler Dealer and Jeep Dealer?
The Check Engine Light Is Illuminated
When the Check Engine Light on your dashboard is on, it is an indication that there is a problem somewhere. If you ignore the light, it could lead to extensive damage to your vehicle’s components. When you notice the light is on or flickering, the best cause of action is to schedule a diagnostic test. A qualified technician will determine why the light is on and what is causing the problem.
Loss of Power
For your engine to produce power, a mixture of air and fuel creates combustion. There are many reasons why your vehicle experiences a loss of power, from a clogged air filter and faulty fuel filter to a bad fuel pump and a sensor malfunction. A diagnostic test is needed to determine what is causing the problem.
Poor Gas Mileage
If you notice that you drive the same distance but need to fill up your tank more often, it’s an indication that there is an issue that needs attention. Yet again, there is a myriad of problems that could cause a decrease in fuel efficiency. The best way to find the problem fast is to ask your technician to perform a diagnostic test.
Rough Running and Idling
Many different issues will result in rough idling. The cause could be a malfunctioning fuel pump, clogged air filters, bad spark plugs, dirty fuel injectors, or an array of other problems. Ask your technician to perform a diagnostic test. The test will accurately determine the exact cause of the rough idling.
Strange Noises
When you hear a knocking noise coming from under the hood, it’s a reason for concern. Damaged mechanical parts will cause the knocking noise. A diagnostic test will determine where the noise is coming from. The longer you wait, the more damage will occur that could result in a breakdown.
Unpleasant Odors
You should never smell your car’s emissions inside your vehicle. If you smell engine or exhaust fumes or any other unpleasant odors inside the cabin, it’s an indication that something is not operating as it should. Ask your technician to diagnose the problem.
Smoke From the Exhaust
Seeing grey, blue, or black smoke from the exhaust is never a good sign. The smoke could be from damaged fuel injectors, a damaged air filter, engine damage, clogged fuel filter, excessive oil consumption, or other problems. A diagnostic test will determine what is causing the issue.
