The common signs that can help you detect engine problem before it leads to engine failure :

• Frequent overheating of the engine: This can be caused by overworking of the engine, low engine oil, broken thermostat or coolant flow in the radiator due to low level.

• Engine warning sign: If this indicator is on, it means one or more engine subsystems, including the minor fault of loose fuel cap, emission and exhaust, and ignition system to the central engine, have failure issues.

• Smoke emission from exhaust: This can be caused by a clogged air filter which is blocking airflow. The air filter prevents debris from being sucked into the car's engine, but if the filter gets clogged, it will lead to black smoke.

• Noise : If you hear popping and other loud noises when starting the engine, that means there is an issue in the internal combustion flow.

• Increased fuel consumption: If this is happening, you need an urgent service to prevent engine failure.

• Engine stalling or suddenly stopping: Check for three main reasons for a stalled engine:

• Check your fuel level indicator sign on the dashboard.

• Check the air filter. 

• Check for dirty fuel injectors or a plugged fuel filter.

• Oil patches on the ground: it is a clear sign of a leaking gasket or oil pan that could lead to friction in components of the combustion chamber due to a lack of enough oil.
