Signs that your car engine is weakening
After a period of use, the car engine will deteriorate for many different reasons. Car owners should recognize the signs that the car engine is weakening to promptly fix it.
The car accelerates slower and harder
One of the most obvious signs that a car engine is weakening is when you press the accelerator but the car still rolls sluggishly without strong response, forcing the driver to press the accelerator pedal deeper than usual.

If this happens, the car owner needs to check if the injector is leaking or the air filter is clogged.
Steering wheel shaking
When the engine is idling, the car vibrates more than usual, indicating that the car is having problems with the engine causing the body and steering wheel to vibrate.
Prolonged vibration can lead to many other consequences such as increased fuel consumption, harder engine starting, jerky engine...
Difficult climb
The reason why the car has difficulty climbing the hill comes from the fuel system. At that time, the user needs to check whether the fuel is clean or not, the filter and fuel tank are not clogged or have too much sediment.
Abnormal discharge
If it is not a supercar but there is fire coming out of the exhaust pipe of the car, then it is when the fuel injection system is pumping too much fuel into the combustion chamber or the spark plugs are not burning all the fuel.

In addition, damage to the electrical system, exhaust sensors, and engine sensors also causes errors in the air-fuel ratio.
Black smoke coming from the exhaust system indicates that the engine is having serious problems. It is important to get it checked as soon as possible.
Check Engine light is always on
The check engine light is always on, which is a sign that the car engine is having problems and is not working properly. Users should check parts such as exhaust sensors, spark plugs, ventilation pipes, and combustion chambers to know exactly what is wrong with the car engine.
