Car repair, a review of the topic
(To be on the safe side, also check for low oil pressure or overheating before restarting your car. You should not drive your car if either of these conditions are present. ) If that does not reveal the problem, then your wisest move is to take your car to a repair shop as quickly as you can, even if your car still appears to be running smoothly. Don't ignore that check engine light! A check engine light can indicate serious driveability issues with your engine, such as transmission, steering and ride control or emissions failures. A certified technician can perform a diagnostic (preferably immediately) to determine what needs to be done to correct the problem before it causes permanent damage to your car.
