Let Vaughan Automotive Take Care of Your European Car’s Check Engine Light
Everyone dreads the moment their check engine light comes on — you never know if it’s a simple fix or something far more in-depth and costly. One thing is for sure: when your check engine light comes on, you should never delay getting it checked out. Delaying, if it is a serious problem, can cause a snowball effect of damage in your engine, resulting in a far more expensive fix than it initially could have been.
What Causes the Check Engine Light to Turn On?
Unfortunately, there is no one cause of the check engine light. It could be something as simple as the gas cap being loose — something you can certainly check before coming in — but it is often something that requires a little more work.
One thing that can cause the check engine light to illuminate is a faulty sensor. Oxygen sensors and mass airflow sensors can go bad, causing the light to come on. These sensors can cause your car to get poor gas mileage, stall out, or even fail to start, so it’s important to get them replaced as soon as possible if they’ve gone bad.
Another potential cause of the check engine light is bad spark plugs. These need to be changed out periodically, but sometimes they may go bad before it’s time for your regular maintenance.
Misfires in the engine are another possibility. These can be caused by a faulty ignition coil, a bad fuel injector, or vacuum leaks.
