Engine Diagnostics 

Engine diagnostics cover check-engine lights, drivability, sensor, fuel-system, ignition, and internal engine faults using platform-appropriate equipment. VANOS-related symptoms, including rough idling, reduced performance, or timing faults, can stem from solenoids, wiring, oil-flow restrictions, or other engine issues. Guided testing helps identify the cause before recommending repairs, rather than relying on fault codes alone.
