Why does my E-150’s check engine light come on when I start it?

It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. This is just your E-150 testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.

Are Ford E-150 engine noises bad?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Ford E-150. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Ford E-150 engine?

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, revving the engine while still in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Can I put water in my Ford E-150 radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your E-150 when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What can cause a E-150 engine to suddenly stop?

Reasons your E-150 car engine may suddenly stop include engine overheating, electrical troubles, mechanical issues, ignition system problems, faulty sensors, and low fuel.
