The engine is the pumping, beating heart of any vehicle. It is the central component that gives life to any automobile. Without it, a vehicle would be nothing but a complicated system of metallic components. Basically, the engine is a machine that converts the heat energy generated by internal combustion into mechanical energy by moving gears and wheels.

The process starts with the sparkplug, which ignites the mixture of fuel and air inside the engine, creating an internal combustion. This combustion forces down pistons that continuously rotate the crankshaft, sending power to the wheels via the transmission system. It is a calculated machine that operates in a systematic manner.

However, as time passes, an engine can be encumbered by engine problems. If your car is exhibiting some of the following symptoms, your car might be encountering engine problems:

• Tapping sounds in the engine
• Smoke belching
• Low oil level
• Low oil pressure
• Sudden uncontrolled jerking
