7 Signs That Your Car's Engine Performance Might Be Decreasing by Godspower35(m): 12:14am On Nov 19, 2019
Low engine performance can mean serious and costly problems for your vehicle. It is essential to detect and address engine problems early, before they have devastating consequences. Fortunately, today's vehicles are equipped with warning lights, including an engine check light, to inform you if there is a problem. When the engine verification light comes on, you must schedule diagnostic services to identify the problem. If the light blinks, this indicates a more serious problem that should receive immediate attention.

In addition to the engine check light, here are some additional signs that your engine performance might be
in trouble:

1.
Loss of power


Internal combustion engines transforms fuel into the power required to move a vehicle. The operation of the combustion engine involves a four-stroke cycle: intake stroke, compression stroke, combustion stroke and exhaust stroke. Failure during any of these blows could result in a lack of engine power and compromise engine performance.

2.
Unusual or excessive noise


Problems in the combustion flow can lead to a wide variety of strange sounds, such as bumps, whistles, bursts or shots. Every time you hear strange noises when you start your vehicle, consider it a warning signal.

3.
Bad gas mileage


Having to fill your gas tank more often than usual could mean more than a blow to your budget. It could mean that there is a problem with the compression stroke of your engine. Fixing it can be as simple as having a fuel injection service or getting an adjustment. Your best course of action is to make a diagnosis to make sure it is not a more serious problem.

4.
Engine stops


When it comes to automatic transmission vehicles, engine blocking is very unusual and probably means there is a problem with the engine. The most common problem is that the intake stroke does not get the spark or the air / fuel mixture it needs. Here, the problem can be solved by an adjustment, but it could also be more serious and should be checked.

5.
Strange smells


Like sounds, anything persistent and unusual should not be ignored with smells. Problems with the escape run can cause strange odors to be perceived in the vehicle.

6.
Engine running


If your car continues to run after you turn it off, you should have it checked. This sign of problematic engine performance is more common in high performance vehicles. Causes of the problem may include incorrect octane gas for the vehicle, a defective solenoid or problems with the carburetor.

7.
Engine malfunctions


Obstructions in the system or old spark plugs can cause a bad engine, as well as an improper octane in gasoline or a low battery. Like the other problems mentioned, a simple adjustment could be all that is needed to remedy a bad engine.
As with any vehicle problem you may encounter, the important thing is that problems or engine performance signals are addressed as soon as possible to avoid further costs and complications.

LAST WORDS
Low engine performance can mean serious problems for your vehicle. Pay attention to these signs and resolve as soon as possible.

Without Mixing words, 90% of cars in Nigeria has that Check indicator light on.

exhausted all options to check if my car was healthy, i was made to understand that though my car was in good condition and ok, but the reason my check light was still on is because I didn't get my parts directly from the manufacturer.
No matter how well u try to clear it off, it will still resurface.
So i totally don't agree with OP's idea that check light indicates an unhealthy engine

you're right I also experienced that the moment I change the Alloy wheels that came with the car to another one with different design the check light came up immediately

On number 6; Carbon deposits on the pistons can cause the engine to run after switching off. It is called PREIGNITION. The heated carbon deposits now serve as the spark plugs that ignite the mixture of fuel and air in the cylinder, as a result it causes pinking. This will continue until it cools down or you engage the gear to stop it from running.

Most Nigeria cars have their check engine light on, that i will agree. Apart from that he is very wrong. He should quit patronising kazeems.

Your check engine light came up because your car rim has the tpms (tire pressure monitoring sensor) build inside it. Your new set didn't have them. Your car ECM couldn't dictect the sensor signal after the change causing it to pop those light on.
