The oxygen sensor measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gases to optimize the air-fuel ratio for better engine performance and reduced emissions.
An OBD-II scanner reads diagnostic trouble codes from the vehicle's computer, helping identify issues and guiding repairs.
Spark plugs are often checked when an engine misfire is detected as they are critical for igniting the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders.
A failing catalytic converter often results in reduced engine performance and increased exhaust emissions due to its impaired ability to convert harmful gases.
The mass airflow sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine, allowing the ECU to ensure the proper air-fuel mixture.
High levels of unburnt hydrocarbons in the exhaust usually suggest incomplete fuel combustion, which may result from engine problems.
The Check Engine Light indicates a problem detected by the vehicle's diagnostic system, often related to the engine or emission system.
A faulty idle air control valve can cause poor air regulation at idle, leading to engine stalling.
A vacuum leak occurs when air enters an engine from unintended paths, disrupting the air-fuel mixture required for optimal performance.
Knocking sounds in an engine typically point to issues like worn bearings or improper timing, which could signal engine damage if unaddressed.
