What are some easy diagnostics for car problems?

Answer by  NutBucket (140)

Most modern cars will blink a magic code to you. Type the name of your car into a search code along with "obd" and see if instructions on how to cause the car to blink the code appear. Try these intructions and see what your car blinks to you. Then search for that error message online as well.

If it's over heating put a garden hose inside your radiator and observe where the leaks are coming out of. Check hoses and the radiator itself for cracks. Also turn the heat on as this will more actively engage the heating and the cooling system. Also check the thermostat

The most common are checking the battery, checking fluid levels, checking the water level, oil checks, tire pressure. Fluids may be leaking underneath the car. What about checking that your lights are working and checking fuses for the car? Check that all belts are working underneath the hood by doing a visual inspection for wear and tear. Watch all gages.

Many problems are either fuel (including delivery of fuel and air), or electrical (including spark). If nothing happens at ignition, it may be elctrical, and the battery and starter must be checked. If the engine runs roughly, spark, fuel, and air need checking. Computer analysis makes things easier. You can check for a "code" on most cars (check your manual).
