Signs of engine trouble
Without a functioning engine, a car is just an expensive driveway ornament. Engines keep vehicles moving, much in the same way the heart provides oxygen and blood to keep the human body running strong. Modern engines are a mixture of mechanical moveable parts and complex computerized systems. Many different parts work in unison to keep a vehicle moving. Engines can be challenging for experienced mechanics, not to mention downright confusing for people who are unfamiliar with what’s under the hood of their vehicle. But any vehicle owner can learn to recognize certain signs that an engine may be on its last legs.
Engine shaking
An engine that is shaking while running may just have bad spark plugs or loose or damaged hoses, offers Sturtevant Used Auto Parts in Wisconsin. However, if those fixes don’t work, it could be an indication of a deeper problem that requires a mechanic, such as fuel intake system issues, compromised
motor mounts or timing belt problems.
Excessive smoke
An engine in trouble typically has to work harder. That results in heating up more quickly, which can lead to overheating. Smoke may be white, blue or black (each color indicates a separate problem). Any sign of excessive smoke is a reason to consult a mechanic.
Warning lights
The dashboard tends to light up when the car is started, and one by one those lights diminish as the car’s computer checks that all systems are working correctly. If the “check engine” light remains on, it is notifying the driver of a problem. The issue could be a faulty sensor or something more ominous. Mechanics can hook the vehicle up to a scanning tool that runs diagnostics to “speak” to the car’s computer helping to diagnose the issue, advises How Stuff Works.
Strange noises
Popping or tapping noises may suggest that gasoline is igniting prematurely in the combustion chambers of the
cylinders. Grinding noises may tell you that the starter motor needs to be changed or replaced. Transmission issues also can produce grinding sounds. Generally speaking, if the car is making sounds it does not normally make, schedule a service appointment.
Poor fuel efficiency
Engine trouble may cause the car or truck to consume gas faster than normal, according
to the car information site
Carsoid. The engine or one of its components may be faulty. Problems could arise in the spark plugs, oxygen sensor or fuel injector.
Metal flakes
If you change your own oil, check to see if the oil has metal flakes, or ask the technician if he or she sees flakes when you bring it in for service. Flakes indicate the engine is creating too much
friction and slowly chipping away at the components.
Trouble starting
Failure to turn over is a clear indicator of engine troubles. It could be the battery, but if the battery is new, look for other causes.
Engine trouble does not generally come out of nowhere. Certain signs can warn drivers their vehicles need servicing.

BSU Opera Theater to perform ‘The Marriage of Figaro’
BEMIDJI
— The music of Mozart will soon grace the Bemidji stage, when BSU students in the Bemidji State Opera Theater present, “The Marriage of Figaro” Oct. 18-19 in the Main Theater at BSU’s Bangsberg Fine Arts Complex.
Opening Oct. 18 for two nights of 7:30 p.m. shows, “The Marriage of Figaro” follows main characters Susanna and Figaro through the trials and tribulations surrounding their marriage.
“Along the way, they foil Count Almaviva’s efforts to seduce Susanna and teach him a valuable lesson about fidelity — with assistance from the Countess Rosina and an astonishing appearance by Figaro’s mother,” a release said.
“The Marriage of Figaro,” written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, was first performed in 1786 and is widely considered one of the greatest operas ever written, added the release.
Cory Renbarger, professor of music at BSU and director of Bemidji Opera Theater, said in the release that he chose to bring “The Marriage of Figaro” to the stage for this year’s class of music students for a variety of reasons.
“’The Marriage of Figaro’ is considered a quintessential opera, and it’s absolutely crucial to the operatic repertoire,” Renbarger said in the release. “People know this music.”
Bemidji Opera Theater will perform the opera in
English with a full orchestra. The show has been compressed from its normal run-time, and the setting has been tweaked but will still reflect the overall themes of the opera.
“Instead of Seville, this will look more like a dirty London,” Renbarger explained. “It’ll still be in another time period ... It will still be the same relationships, the same aristocracy versus the peasant class, men versus women, those common Mozart themes, but it will be a little more of an industrial, Victorian age.”
“The Marriage of Figaro” is a double-cast show, meaning that both nights of the show will feature a unique cast.
“It’s a really great opera and if you haven’t had a chance to see it,
especially since we’re doing it in English, you’ll understand everything,” said BSU student Bella Fontana, who plays Countess Rosina, in the release. “It’s a great opportunity for you to look in on ‘The Marriage of Figaro.’”
Tickets cost $20 for adults; $15 for K-12 students and seniors age 62 and up; and free for BSU and NTC students with student ID. Tickets are available through the Hometown Fan app or by calling (218) 755-2934. They can also be purchased on campus from Tammy Erickson in Room 102 of BSU’s Bangsberg Fine Arts Complex between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
