Yes, bad gas can trigger a flashing check engine light. This occurs because poor-quality fuel can lead to incomplete combustion, causing misfires. Modern engines are equipped with sensors that detect such anomalies, leading to the check engine light activation as a warning. Flashing specifically indicates a more severe issue, often related to engine misfires that if ignored, can cause damage to the catalytic converter, an expensive component. If you encounter this issue, it's advisable to stop driving and address the problem promptly. Using higher-quality fuel or adding a fuel system cleaner might help resolve this, but if the light persists, a diagnostic check by a professional is recommended to pinpoint and resolve the underlying issue.
Yes, bad or contaminated gas can cause your vehicle's check engine light to flash or illuminate. This may occur if the gas has impurities which can lead to the engine misfiring, stalling, or other problems. However, a flashing check engine light can indicate a variety of issues, not just bad gas, so it's always best to have the vehicle professionally diagnosed.
To determine your vehicle's engine size, start by checking the vehicle's manual, where the engine displacement is typically listed. If the manual isn't available, look under the hood for a label on the engine itself or on the underside of the hood, often providing engine size. Another reliable method is to locate the vehicle identification number (VIN) - usually found on the driver's side dashboard or the door pillar - and use an online VIN decoder or contact a dealership with the VIN. The engine size is usually indicated by a specific character within the VIN, often representing engine type and displacement. Additionally, you can check your car's registration documents or insurance papers, as they usually specify the engine size. Ensuring you know your engine size is crucial for maintenance, part replacements, and when selling the vehicle, as it significantly influences performance and value.
