How to troubleshoot engine problems in a Ford S-Max?

I have been experiencing some issues with my Ford S-Max's engine and I'm not sure where to start. Can someone provide me with some troubleshooting tips and advice on how to fix common engine problems in this car?

Hi Elena, when it comes to diagnosing engine problems, the first thing to do is to check the engine light codes. From there, you can check for any loose or damaged wires, faulty sensors, or any leaks that may be causing the issue. If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, I would highly recommend taking it to a trusted mechanic.

Hey Elena, I've had similar issues with my Ford S-Max and it turned out to be a faulty fuel pump. This is a common problem with this car and if you notice any difficulty with starting or random stalling, it might be worth getting it checked out by a professional.

Hi Elena, one piece of advice I can offer is to regularly check and change your oil. Dirty or low oil levels can greatly impact the performance of your engine and can even cause serious damage if neglected for too long.
