Exhaust Questions and Answers

Q: What is a rough idle?
A: A rough idle describes a vehicle's engine with spark plugs that are not firing correctly when the vehicle is in park, with no gas applied. Most vehicles idle between 600 and 1,200 RPM and should hold their idle speed consistently.

Q: Why is smoke coming out of my tailpipe?
A: The most common reason for thick smoke coming out of your car's exhaust pipe is the fuel to air ratio in your engine is too rich. This means that the fuel injectors are either adding too much fuel or that the intake valves aren't letting enough air in. This is caused by a cracked or leaking fuel injector, a failing O2 sensor, or air filter that needs replacing.

Catalytic Converter Questions and Answers

Q: Can I drive with the catalytic converter light on?
A: A bad catalytic converter can increase your car's exhaust emissions, but it does not prevent you from driving. At Lee's Auto Repair Service we know this is true. A clogged catalytic converter will eventually affect the performance of your vehicle in Rancho Cordova, Carmichael, La Riviera and Fair Oaks. Exhaust gases will not escape easily and create an increase in exhaust gas pressure. The buildup in pressure can lead to high-cost repair bills in the future.

Q: What can cause a catalytic converter light to come on?
A: A catalytic converter helps reduce harmful engine emissions from entering the air by breaking down the harmful byproduct of internal combustion into less-harmful compounds. If your catalytic converter isn't working properly the check engine light will come on. The most common causes for a catalytic convert warning light to display are a clogged, cracked or melted converter. Sometimes the problem isn't the catalytic converter at all but an exhaust leak letting gases out of the system before it reaches the converter.

What People Say About Us

  • reviewiconAffordable Prices

    My repair was quite expensive for my budget, however they helped me out with a small discount, quick service and I was back on the road in 2 days. My AC works great now. Kudos.

  • reviewiconHonest Repair Shop

    "Honesty still exists!'... I was told by O'Reilly's that my alternator, (not my battery, which I had bought from them one year earlier) was bad after they did a diagnostic test on my Toyota. I was prepared to replace the alternator when I went to Lee's automotive repair in Rancho Cordova. To my surprise they told me the battery was actually bad and only running at 35%. (which O'Reilly's had told me was perfectly fine) And then they even told me that the battery was probably still warrantied to check with O'Reilly's, where I had bought the battery from in the first place, to see if it was still warranty. It was! Lee's automotive could have very easily sold me AT LEAST a new battery but they said they were not in the business to rip people off. From a female's point of view, that meant the world to me! THANK YOU LEE'S?
