Engine failure is always a stressful scenario for everyone. But smart choices always make us less vulnerable to expensive
repair.
![Page 3: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The more you ignore the problem, the more tricky it will become to diagnose. Also it takes more time to repair the
issue.

Let's know how it works ---
![Page 5: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The engine coverts the gasoline to energy through combustion process which makes the vehicle run.
![Page 6: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
It's also a universal truth that rough driving and the ignorant driver can kill the engine.
![Page 7: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Let's have a look on the causes of engine problem :-
![Page 8: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
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.
![Page 9: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Irregular oil change causes the engine to overheat and that results in a poor fuel economy.
![Page 10: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Engine starts to show problem when you add lower octane level oils than prescribed in owner's manual.
Use of lower octane fuel :-
![Page 11: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The bad fuel can clog the intake valve, spark plug etc which results in improper fuel delivery and misfire.
![Page 12: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
As per owner's manual, make sure to use recommended additive and right octane fuel that will give a better fuel
economy.

A leaking oil pump can cause misfire and loss of fuel within a very limited period of
time.
Oil Pump Failure :-
![Page 14: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The leakage also can cause overheat as the right amount of fuel doesn't get delivered to
the combustion chamber.
![Page 15: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Spark knock happens due to excess heat generation at time of combustion due to improper fuel ratio.
Spark knock:-
![Page 16: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
When spark knock starts, it generates a metallic knocking or pinging noise as a symptom of this issue.
![Page 17: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
This sensor measures the amount of oxygen left unborn in the exhaust.
Faulty oxygen sensor :-
![Page 18: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
This problem of improper oxygen leads to lower gas mileage and release of harmful gases to environment.
![Page 19: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The leaking coolant or lower coolant level can harm the engine while engine overheats at time of combustion.
Coolant leaking :-
![Page 20: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Make sure to keep the coolant in its appropriate level and the cooling system in good working condition.
![Page 21: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
When spark plug gets worn out, it causes misfire and loss of fuel economy.
Worn out spark plug :-
![Page 22: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The misfire also leads to damage of other engine component due to overheating.
![Page 23: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The loosen gas cap can give potential risk of gas evaporation from the vehicle.
Loosen gas cap :-
![Page 24: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
This problem ultimately leads to decrease the gas mileage and give you a potentially expensive repair bill.
![Page 25: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
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.
![Page 26: Diagnosing Common Causes Of Engine Failure](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58abd6a51a28ab212a8b48fb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
If the piston ring is worn out then it also makes the engine not to start after
a proper combustion.
