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. It’s just your E-150 firing up its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Why does my Ford engine sound different?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Ford E-150 engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. 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?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Can I add water to 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?
