What Issues Can Engine Diagnostics Uncover?

Modern vehicles are complex machines, with engines relying on advanced systems to function efficiently. When problems arise, engine diagnostics provide an essential service to identify the root cause. 

Here at Williams Technicians we offer mobile engine diagnostics across the North West and help drivers get back on the road quickly and safely. But what exactly can engine diagnostics uncover?

Faulty Sensors and Wiring Problems

One of the most common issues uncovered by engine diagnostics is faults with sensors or wiring. Modern engines rely on sensors to monitor everything from oxygen levels to engine temperature. A malfunctioning sensor or a broken wire can cause performance problems or even prevent the vehicle from starting.

With roadside diagnostics, we can quickly assess these faults using specialised equipment, saving you the hassle of towing your car to a garage.

Misfires and Fuel Efficiency Issues

Misfires occur when an engine’s cylinder fails to ignite properly, leading to poor performance, increased emissions, and reduced fuel efficiency. Engine diagnostics can pinpoint whether the misfire is caused by a faulty spark plug, fuel injector, or ignition coil.

Emission System Problems

Vehicles are designed to meet strict emission standards, and a fault in the exhaust system can trigger warning lights on your dashboard. Diagnostics can identify problems such as a faulty catalytic converter or an issue with the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve.

If you’re on the road and encounter such a problem, mobile engine diagnostics can detect the fault quickly, ensuring you stay compliant with emissions regulations.

Overheating and Cooling System Issues

Engine overheating is a serious issue that can cause long-term damage if not addressed promptly. Diagnostics can reveal if the problem lies in the thermostat, radiator, or coolant system. With roadside diagnostics, we can help diagnose and fix overheating problems before they escalate.



Ignition and Starting Problems

If your car struggles to start, the problem may stem from the ignition system. Diagnostics can check the condition of components like the starter motor, alternator, and battery. Our mobile services allow for quick intervention, even if the issue arises while you’re on the road.
