Computerized Engine Diagnostics

    Today almost all car are controlled by some sort of computer system. From fuel injectors to your ABS brake system, everything is told when and how to work by the onboard computer. Any of these symptoms may indicate the need for engine diagnostic services or repairs to your vehicle:

• Engine light on
• Slow cranking
• Rough idling
• Pings or knocks when accelerating
• Decreased fuel efficiency

    When something goes wrong with your car, chances are the onboard computer can tell you about it. You may see a specific light, such as "ABS Brakes" or less specific such as your "Check Engine" light.

Taggart Automotive has the latest diagnostic equipment to identify what part of your engine or vehicle needs service, providing you with a complete analysis of the current conditions and a repair cost estimate.

Based on the Diagnostic readings, some engine components that may need to be serviced include:

• Emissions
• Engine sensors, including: crank/cam sensor, oxygen sensor, airflow sensor, EGR sensor, MAP sensor, temperature sensor, throttle position sensor
• Coil packs
• Distributor cap and rotor
• Ignition wires
• Ignition module
• Fuel pump
