Learn how you can diagnose car problems like engine issues without using diagnostic tools or any prior knowledge about cars. Automotive maintenance and the troubleshooting of even basic problems can be incredibly complex. As cars become more advanced, new computer-controlled elements and increasingly complex drivetrains are introduced into vehicles, and the level of difficulty in diagnosing and repairing a problem only goes up. For those who aren’t mechanically-inclined, sorting out car problems can be a daunting process. Luckily, there is a basic level of intuitive diagnosing that anyone can do with nothing more than their senses (and we can leave the sense of taste out of it!).
