Troubleshooting engine problems can be tough since there are so many components that make up your car’s engine. Common engine problems include misfiring, surging, hesitating and excessive oil consumption. If you notice smoke coming from your exhaust, have difficulty maintaining a steady speed, or notice a funny smell when you run your car, you likely have an engine problem that needs to be addressed.To learn more about engine troubleshooting and repair, click here.
