1. Oxygen Sensors Malfunction: These sensors measure how much oxygen is in your vehicle's exhaust system and send the data to your car's computer. If the sensors are not functioning correctly, your car will burn more fuel than necessary.
2. Gas Cap is Loose or Missing: A missing or loose gas cap can cause fuel to evaporate, prompting the check engine light to come on.
3. Catalytic Converter Failure: This part of your car reduces emissions from your vehicle's exhaust, and if it's failing it could decrease your gas mileage or make your car stall when you accelerate.
4. Spark Plugs or Plug Wires Need to be Replaced: These parts ignite the air and fuel mixture in your car's engine. If they're not functioning properly it can cause the engine light to trigger.
5. Mass Airflow Sensor is Failing: This sensor measures the amount of air going into your engine, helping your car determine how much fuel to burn. If it's going bad your car may stall, have a drop in gas mileage or not start at all.
6. An Issue with the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve: It’s a part of the emission control system, and if it is failing, the engine light may come on.
Keep in mind, this list is not exhaustive and there could be various other reasons for engine light to come on. Always consult with a professional mechanic to exact issues.
Yes, AutoZone does provide a service where they check engine lights for customers at no charge. This service involves using an OBD-II scanner to read codes generated by your vehicle's onboard diagnostics system. The codes can indicate what might be wrong with your car. However, it's important to remember that AutoZone offers this as a courtesy and their staff are not certified mechanics. They can give you an idea of what the code means but for a detailed diagnosis and repair recommendations, visiting a certified mechanic is advisable. Utilizing this free service can be a helpful first step in diagnosing issues with your vehicle, allowing you to understand whether a visit to a professional mechanic is necessary.
Filling tractor tires with water increases traction and stability. The process, known as water ballasting, involves using a water hose connected to a tire valve stem after removing the core. It's important to mix water with antifreeze to prevent freezing in cold climates. Typically, you only fill the tire 75% with water, leaving room for air to achieve the desired tire pressure. You need a special adapter to connect the hose to the tire valve and a pressure gauge to monitor pressure. Exercise caution to avoid overfilling, which can harm tire integrity.
