You can tell if your engine is clogged by observing symptoms such as reduced performance, poor acceleration, or strange noises. Additionally, check for warning lights on the dashboard, particularly the check engine light, which may indicate a problem. Inspecting the air filter and fuel system for blockages, or noticing excessive exhaust smoke can also signal a clog. If you're experiencing these issues, it's advisable to consult a mechanic for a thorough diagnosis.
