If a car engine stalls when turning, there could be a problem with the power steering pump. There could also be an issue with an emissions control device.
It measures distance for the car, it is not dependent on engine run time.
Yeah, it can. If something is wrong with your emmision control system, your car can still fail emmisons, but the check engine light doesn't have to be on.
No it won't hurt the engine BUT you could get carbon monoxide in the car. Don't sit in a parked car with the engine running if your exhaust is bad - it could kill you.
The gas model has the same byproducts /emissions as any other gasoline automobile. The electric model has zero emission/byproduct.
A flashing check engine light on a 2003 VW Jetta indicates a serious issue, often related to the engine or emissions system, such as misfiring or a failing catalytic converter. This warning suggests that the vehicle may be damaging the engine or emissions components if driven further. It's advisable to stop driving the car and have it diagnosed by a mechanic as soon as possible to prevent potential damage.
It most likely means that your thermostat has gone bad. The engine of your car is running too cold and you need to get a new thermostat installed.
Whether or not a car will pass inspection with the Check Engine light on is up to the state or county giving the test. As long as the car passes an emissions test, it should be fine.
if your alternator is gone or going your car will start and then eventually just stop running because your battery has gone dead. it typically will not make any sound when your engine is not running because of a dead battery.
