This is why you should always keep an eye out for signs of fuel pump failure, and bring your vehicle in for regular service even if it seems like it's running fine. There are many signs of an impending fuel pump failure. If you're noticing fuel pressure that's either higher or lower than normal, if you're struggling up hills, or if your engine is sputtering at high speeds, it could be signs of an impending catastrophe.

Batteries come in many varieties, including starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) cells. These batteries are designed to provide enough energy to start vehicles and provide limited backup power for accessories. While these power-cells can be durable, if they completely lose their charges they may develop performance flaws. In order to prevent this, it is important to regularly check your SLI cell for physical damages and for voltage levels. To gauge the voltage load of your battery, you will need a digital voltmeter. To begin, turn off your ignition and lights. Then, attach the positive voltmeter probe to the positive battery pole. After that, connect the negative probe to the negative battery pole. Once all leads are connected, check the readout for the numerical results. Readings below the 12.4-volt range may indicate damage, while readings above this level suggest health. This test can give you a rough idea of your battery health, but there are many other more subtle readings that require professional insights for proper translation. At Hamilton Ford in the Clovis area, our certified and skilled electrical system technicians can translate all of your electrical system readings for you. To hear more, come to our service center today for a no-obligation conversation.

The exhaust system is more than just the tailpipe. It involves the muffler, exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, and the resonator. The system's function is to remove harmful fumes from the engine and safely disperse them out into the air. If any of the components fail, the fumes can back up into the interior of the automobile. These fumes are fatal. The gas is odorless, so it is not something you can detect. Some signs there are leaks are a new vibration in the steering wheel and pedals. New high-pitched whistling sounds can start emanating from the engine or tailpipe. A restriction will cause this noise. The motor has to work harder when the exhaust system fails. If you notice more trips to the pump, it is a possible sign of leaks. Changes in gas consumption, new vibrations, and unusual sounds are signals that something is changing. An exhaust leak is dangerous. Contact our service department here at Hamilton Ford conveniently located in Clovis, NM to set up an inspection appointment today.
