Good points above:
1. what type of engine gas, diesel, electric?
2. What type of equipment, car, golf cart, lawn mower, motorcycle, etc?
3. At least a hint of the problem, will not start, will not turn over, runs rough, etc.

You need to provide more information, my original reply assumed a car, but I now see I may be very wrong.

If the "engine" is in the driveway, there may be additional concerns:
1. Spilled fluids can stain the driveway, or ruin any finish.
2. Minors repairs are generally allowed, anything beyond that could run into deed restrictions.
3. The slope of the driveway may cause problems in properly securing the device with the engine.
4. IMHO, it is way too hot to even think about working anywhere but under cover or in an air conditioned shop.
