When you notice evidence of an engine issue, it’s always best to alert the mechanic right away. This will give you the best chance to prevent the problem from escalating and causing breakdowns and/or more expensive repairs. At American Five Star Auto Repair & Transmission, we provide expert engine repair in the greater Tempe, AZ area. Here’s a look at five common signs of engine trouble. Check Engine Light The check engine light is your car's way of telling you that something is wrong under the hood. While it can sometimes be triggered by minor issues like a loose gas cap, it's crucial not to ignore it. A diagnostic scan can reveal the specific problem, which can then be promptly addressed. Common check engine light triggers include issues with oxygen sensors, catalytic converters, and MAF sensors. Decreased Performance If your vehicle isn't accelerating as smoothly as it once did or if you notice a decrease in power and efficiency, it could be a sign of engine trouble. This could be caused by various factors, such as a clogged air filter, a malfunctioning fuel pump, or worn-out spark plugs. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent further issues and restore your engine’s performance. Discolored/Excessive Smoke from the Exhaust The smoke’s color can provide clues about the underlying issue. Blue smoke commonly suggests burning oil. White smoke might indicate a coolant leak, while black smoke could signal a rich fuel mixture. Strange Noises One of the most obvious signs that something is wrong with your engine is unusual noises. Knocking, tapping, hissing, or grinding sounds could indicate various issues, and should be promptly investigated. Unusual Smells Strange odors can also indicate engine trouble. A sweet smell could mean a coolant leak, while a burnt odor might suggest that oil or transmission fluid is leaking. Any unusual smells should be investigated promptly to prevent further damage.

It’s important to get to the shop when you first notice that your car is struggling to fire up as easily as usual. If you delay, the underlying issue may soon escalate and prevent your car from starting at all. At American Five Star Auto Repair & Transmission, our local mechanics are experts at identifying and fixing issues that cause no-start. Here are five common issues that prevent cars from starting up. Dead Battery One of the most frequent culprits for a car that won't start is a dead or weak battery. Common causes of dead batteries include loose/corroded connections, old age, parasitic draws, and leaving on headlights. If you hear a clicking sound when you turn the key or notice dim lights on the dashboard, you may well have a battery issue. Faulty Starter Motor The starter motor is responsible for turning the engine over when you turn the key. If the starter motor is faulty, your car won't start. A sign of a malfunctioning starter is that there’s a grinding noise. Fuel System Issues If there are issues with the car’s fuel system, it may not start. Common fuel-related problems include a clogged fuel filter and a malfunctioning fuel pump. Fuel system problems often cause symptoms such as sputtering and decreased fuel-efficiency. Ignition System Failure The ignition system is crucial for starting your car. Problems with components like the ignition switch, spark plugs, or ignition coil can prevent your car from starting. Symptoms may include a lack of engine turnover or irregular engine firing. Faulty Alternator The alternator charges the battery while the engine is running, and a malfunctioning alternator can lead to a drained battery and difficulty starting the car. Signs of alternator issues include dimming headlights and problems with interior electrical accessories.

Your vehicle's suspension system plays a crucial role in providing a smooth ride and proper stability. Eventually, wear and tear can take a toll on your suspension components, leading to potential safety hazards and a compromised driving experience. When you first notice a symptom of suspension trouble, it’s best to visit the shop for an inspection. At American Five Star Auto Repair & Transmission, our local mechanics are highly experienced with suspension repair in the greater Tempe, AZ area. Here are five signs of a suspension problem. Bumpy or Unstable Ride If you notice excessive bouncing, swaying, or a generally uncomfortable ride, it could suggest problems with your shocks or struts. These components are responsible for absorbing shocks and vibrations, and when they fail, your vehicle's ride quality diminishes. Knocking or Clunking Noises Unusual noises, such as knocking or clunking sounds, when driving over rough terrain can indicate problems with the suspension system. These noises may be a result of worn-out bushings or issues with the shock absorbers. Ignoring these sounds can lead to further damage and compromise safety. Visible Fluid Leaks Leaking shock absorbers or struts can lead to a loss of fluid, affecting their ability to absorb shocks effectively. If fluid is leaking out onto your shocks, there’s a good chance that you’ll need to replace them. Dipping or Nose-Diving During Braking A healthy suspension system helps maintain stability during braking. If you notice your vehicle dipping forward or nose-diving when you apply the brakes, it could signal issues with the front suspension components. Failing shocks or struts can compromise braking performance and overall safety. Uneven Tire Wear In many cases, one of the first signs of a suspension problem is uneven tire wear. If you notice that your tires are wearing out unevenly, particularly on the inside or outside edges, it could be an indication that the suspension components are not properly supporting the vehicle's weight.
