About Engine Repair

Common questions and tips from our work with Jonesboro customers.

What does a flashing check-engine light mean?
A steady light means the engine computer logged a fault, which can be anything from a loose gas cap to a failing sensor. A flashing light usually means an active misfire, which can overheat and damage the catalytic converter. If it flashes, ease off, avoid hard acceleration, and get the vehicle checked soon. A scan reads the stored codes, and testing confirms the actual cause.
Should I keep driving if my engine is overheating?
No. Pull over when it is safe, shut the engine off, and let it cool. Never open a hot radiator cap. Driving an overheating engine can warp the cylinder head or blow the head gasket, which turns a hose or thermostat repair into a much bigger job. Common causes include low coolant, a leaking hose, a failed water pump, a stuck thermostat, or a bad cooling fan.

Tip

Do not ignore new engine noises

A ticking, knocking, or squealing sound that was not there last week is worth checking. Squeals often point to a worn belt. Ticking can mean low oil or a valve train issue. Knocking under load is more serious. Check your oil level first, then note when the noise happens (cold start, idle, accelerating) so the diagnosis goes faster.
