The engine response was poorly when the clutch pedal is released.

Engine Backfires While Driving

Engine Pinging Sound When Driving on Flat Roads and Uphill
While driving on flat roads there is a pinging sound coming from the engine, also pinging sound occurs while driving uphill.

Car Stalling While Accelerating
When the problem occurs on cold wet weather condition, usually this is because of the moisture on the distributor cap.

How to Diagnose Engine Overheating
Engine overheating happens when the balance of the cooling capability of the engine and the heat generated when the engine operates starts to deteriorate.

Engine Sounds Rough at High speed
The engine begins to sound rough when the car reaches high speed.

Engine Sounds Rough on Idling
When the engine is running rough during idle this is an indication of misfiring on one of the cylinders because when the cylinders misfire it will disrupt the balance of the engine.

Car Shakes When Idle After Starting when the car shakes on idle after startup, it is an indication of a problem on engine misfiring. Usually, one or more cylinder on the engine combustion chamber is misfiring.

Black Smoke from Exhaust of Car
Black smoke is an indication of too much gas burned inside the engine combustion chamber. Let us start the troubleshooting of the problem by determining why the engine burned too much gas.

Ticking Noise in Engine While Running
Engine ticking noise is commonly an indication of the poorly lubricated engine. The reasons are the oil inside the engine is not much or just simply it lacks engine oil or might be the oil pressure inside the engine is low.

White Smoke from Exhaust of Car
If a white smoke happens before the engine warmed up or before it reaches the normal operating temperature during a cold morning then it is normal. When the car is parked outside overnight on cold surroundings, condensation is formed inside the engine.

Car Jerks When Accelerating
Since the acceleration problem happens when the engine is cold especially during wet morning this suggests moisture in the distributor cap. This happens because when you park the car overnight especially on the outside, moisture is formed inside the distributor cap because of the wet weather.

Car Loses Power Going Uphill
This usually happens when the rings and valves inside the engine are worn out. An engine with worn rings and valves will have a low compression which makes the engine power to become weak especially when driving uphill.

Blue Smoke from Exhaust of Car
Blue smoke from the exhaust of the car means that the engine is burning oil. The most common reason why the engine is burning oil is because of the bad rings and usually, when the engine has bad rings there is a power loss when driving uphill.

Engine Pinging Noise on Uphill
Pinging noise is usually related to an engine problem, also pinging can also related to low octane gasoline especially while driving uphill.

Car Start But Blue Smoke Comes Out from Exhaust
If the car start but blue smoke comes out from Exhaust, it means that the engine is burning oil. The problem is why the engine is burning oil, that is what we are going to find out.
