Engine diagnostic

If your car’s engine is acting up and you’re unsure of what’s causing the issue, an engine diagnostic test can provide all the answers you need. Eliminate the guesswork when it comes to car troubles by getting a diagnostic test from your Ford dealership to accurately pinpoint the source of your vehicle’s mechanical issues.

An Illuminated Check Engine Light

Never overlook your car’s check engine light. This indicator alerts you to engine problems. The best course of action to avoid engine damage is to schedule a test with a certified Ford technician right away. This test will identify why the check engine light is activated so that necessary repairs can be carried out.

Decreased Engine Performance

Numerous factors can contribute to why your car is lacking power. The decline in engine performance may stem from issues like a malfunctioning fuel pump, a sensor issue, a clogged air filter, or other potential problems. To identify the cause of your vehicle’s power loss, have your Ford technician perform a diagnostic test. 

Poor Fuel Economy

During these times of high fuel costs, poor gas mileage is something no driver wants to deal with. If you find yourself refueling frequently without increasing your mileage, there’s an issue that requires attention. If your car is consuming more gas than usual, get a diagnostic test to address your gas-related concerns effectively.

Stalling and Rough Idling

If your car stalls, especially at intersections, or you notice irregular idling, it could be attributed to an array of issues. Problems such as dirty fuel injectors and air filters, exhaust system malfunctions, defective fuel pumps, or worn spark plugs could result in rough idling. To accurately diagnose and address these concerns, take your vehicle for a diagnostic test.  

Strange Smells

You’re familiar with the scent of your car, so when you catch an odor of something strange, like burnt oil or gas or exhaust fumes, especially inside your car, something might be off. Fumes inside the car can be harmful and lead to health problems. Have your Ford technician run a diagnostic promptly. 

Unusual Engine Sounds

You may hear unusual noises from under the hood when there is an issue with your car’s engine components. Knocking, popping, or hissing sounds from worn-out, damaged, or broken parts under the hood indicate problems. A diagnostic examination can help identify the source of these noises.

The greatest benefit of diagnostic tests is their ability to quickly and accurately identify car problems and the necessary maintenance tasks needed to get your vehicle back in shape. Call Conway Ford in Conway, SC, today to schedule expert diagnostics and repair services performed by our certified and experienced Ford technicians.
