Best Answer

If the engine feels like it's loping, or misfiring,

typically remedied by a tune up,

usually indicated by a check engine light.

Autozone can diagnose those for free.

more dubious signs could include a strong gasoline smell in the exhaust, loss of power through compression, etc.

How does the egine make the car move?

The engine has a crankshaft that is connected to all the pistons in the engine. When the engine is running the pistons are moving up and down and are turning this crankshaft. The crankshaft in turn is spinning a shaft connected to the transmission. The transmission is turning a driveshaft that is connected to the differential which in turn is turning an axle connected to the wheels.
