Check Engine Light Maintenance at Solo Motorsports

At Solo Motorsports, the health of your vehicle is our top priority. When that pesky check engine light comes on, it’s more than just an alert – it’s a conversation your car wants to have with you. We’re here to interpret, address, and resolve.

Potential Issues When The Check Engine Light Comes On

  • Oxygen Sensor Failure: The oxygen sensor measures the amount of unburnt oxygen in the vehicle’s exhaust system and helps manage the air-fuel mixture. A failed sensor can lead to improper fuel combustion and reduced fuel economy.
  • Loose or Missing Gas Cap: A loose, damaged, or missing gas cap can allow fuel vapors to escape, reducing fuel efficiency and increasing emissions.
  • Catalytic Converter Malfunction: The catalytic converter reduces exhaust gas emissions. Failure of this component typically results in poor performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and increased emissions.
  • Mass Airflow Sensor Failure: This sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine and helps control the fuel mixture. Faulty sensors can decrease performance and fuel efficiency.
  • Spark Plug/Plug Wire Issues: Worn, fouled, or damaged spark plugs or faulty plug wires can cause misfires, poor fuel efficiency, and reduced performance.
  • Ignition Coil Problems: Ignition coils are vital for starting the car. Problems here could result in misfires, poor performance, and a rough idle.
  • Thermostat Issues: A failing thermostat can cause overheating issues and potentially lead to serious engine damage.
  • Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Failure: The EGR valve helps reduce nitrogen oxide emissions and prevent the engine from overheating. A malfunctioning EGR valve can lead to reduced performance and engine damage.
  • Transmission Issues: Some cars may illuminate the Check Engine light for certain transmission problems, such as erratic shifting or transmission slippage.
  • Evaporative Emission System (EVAP) Leak: The EVAP system captures fuel vapor to prevent it from being released into the atmosphere. Leaks or malfunctions in the system can trigger the light.
  • Fuel Injector Issues: Faulty fuel injectors can result in poor performance, misfires, and reduced fuel efficiency.
  • Vacuum Leak: A vacuum leak in the engine can cause poor idle, stalling, and reduced performance.
