10 most common engine fix Checks. Turns your engine fix into 10 when its runs like a 5?

Engine Troubles. 10 steps to recovery. Takes the mystery out of what to do. Selecting the right solution. What not to do.

The 10 most common car engine problems revealed

Right off the  start.  This is for any vehicle with engine trouble.

Me? I'm a mechanic, and I this is what I teach as special kind of car maintenace, and problem-solving a good mechanic and repair shop owner will follow before any repair. Why?

A dirty internal condition is the cause of wear and tear problems. And a good repair starts with its internal cleaning and friction reduction  -  as  shown in this video, as one of the steps in this article. It could be the repair fix in 9 out of 10 engine problems.

If not, it will free up and smooth out every part - so the bad part is what's repalced - not the whole group of expensive to replace good parts . So doing the maintenance as shown here maybe all your engine needs. 

Done in time, this engine service a ends engine problems and  pushes car engine, equipment engines, and over the road rig engine problems 5 to 10  years into the future.  Made possible by following the Mega Power Brand Additives Usage. installed as descriped on this site is  Step One in engine trouble recovery.

The following taken from a UK JUNK YARD web site covers them as well as anybody. Thanks to them you have the 10 engine problesm recovery areas to isolate the problem.

10 steps to recovery. Knowing them takes the mystery out of what to do.  Makes selecting the right solution easier - cheaper.  And, what not to do adds to quicker recovery.

You don't have to know the trouble parts. No

Just by what's happening, I'll tell you wha to do to end the trouble in the quickest way.

Is this "in" your thinking? A good running engine is the heart of my vehicles.  Do I appreciate its one  of 5 major components that need care and servicing every 2 years ? Ignoring the servicing tips here are key parts to avoiding engine trouble. 

How can that be so?

I didn't take care of my engine!

...don't wory, I'll walk you through what us car buffs do to get pass it.

I just didn't have a clear picture in my mind to do so.

... This list will give you a clear picture of the problem source and best recovey actions.

Servicing all 5 components - engine transmission radiator steering and a/c in a good running vehicle is key to avoiding problems, and you simply can’t avoid engine  servicing to clean it out before problems get worst. Ignoring  cleaning of all the components may add the stress load that's usually causing the wrong with your engine. The  connected components when cleaned and conditioned as shown here are what makes your vehicles go for 10 years without trouble.

  Diagnosing your engine fault  is not always easy and it can be even harder to repair.  If you believe that your engine is struggling or, worse still, failing, make sure you take a look at the 10 most common issues relating to car engine failures below. 

Not all engine problems are serious and can be remedied relatively quickly, but all of them can cause engine breakdowns and, in the worst-case scenarios, require a brand-new engine.

1. Poor lubrication It’s absolutely vital that your engine receives enough oil between its moving parts.  A lack of lubrication will cause unnecessary friction inside the engine, leading to overheating and worse still, the engine seizing up.  Make sure that you get your vehicle periodically serviced, which includes a regular oil change to keep quantities at an appropriate level.
2. Failing oil pump The failure of an oil pump is extremely serious for the lifespan of any engine.  If an oil pump fails it will almost certainly starve the engine of necessary lubrication.  Always ensure that the engine oil you use in your engine is of a genuine viscosity, making it light enough to flow fast through the pump.
3. Oil deposits and debris Older, dirty oil has the propensity to leave deposits and debris on engine fittings such as intake valves and spark plugs, not to mention combustion chambers.  As part of a periodic service at your local garage, they will regularly clean your engine’s oil filters to avoid debris becoming lodged within your vehicle’s bearings.
4. Inadequate fuel and air compression Poor compression of both fuel and air inside a car engine is a recipe for disaster.  The most common reasons for poor engine combustion is due to broken valve seals, holes within cylinders and overused piston rings, forcing air to leak out.
5. Leaking engine coolant One of the easier engine faults to diagnose is leaking engine coolant.  If engine coolant is continually low once it’s topped up, it’s a sure-fire signal that there is a fault within the cooling system.  The coolant should be kept free of debris and deposits to maintain a safe operating temperature for your engine at all times.
6. Blocked engine radiators Old engine coolant that’s not been kept clean over time can result in filling your engine’s radiators with unwanted sediment and deposits.  This is another common cause of overheating engines.  Try to avoid using hard water as coolant because you will run the risk of the radiators corroding over time due to limescale.
7. Prolonged engine detonation If you are driving along and your engine is making a knocking noise it is quite possible that there is too much heat within its combustion chamber.  A combination of overheating and high pressures creates engine detonation, also known as a spark knock, which can cause long-term damage to pistons, head gaskets and piston rings.
8. Damaged oxygen sensors An inaccurate oxygen sensor is dangerous not only for your engine but for the rest of the car too.  If the sensor does not give your car the right data about how much oxygen remains in the exhaust and how much fuel is in the petrol/diesel tank, you run the risk of inefficiencies with your driving, wasting lots of money in the long run.
9. Aged spark plugs This issue is particularly prevalent in older vehicles.  Spark plugs are designed to ignite the compressed fuel in the engine of your car.  An aged spark plug creates a weak ignition and can stop an engine from turning over i.e. misfiring.  This is another issue that results in inefficient fuel economy and can also cause serious long-term damage to the engine.
