To change the name of the cars and colors, you should open .info files with notepad in tune folder instead of using cheat engine.

Well of course this happens, here is the technical explanation
The car names and colors are 0 terminated strings, so say you edited the string "Silver" to "Blue"
Now this memory area is "Blue(00)er", So it takes "ER" as the color ID or some other data.
To avoid it make it "Blue(Space)(Space)(Space)". It must always be the same length!

The Cheat Engine tool is like an hex editor to edit the executable files running at the moment and loaded in the system memory; exist other similar tools too. It allows to edit them and only in the memory, without edit the real file. In games it's used for cheats like the classic in-game money crediting increasing.
As always, editing with hex editors is picky and difficult, if you don't know what exactly you're changing or how it has to be changed, you get bad working, glitches or let crash the edited executable that's running at the moment.

In MM2 vehicles, the .mtx files are used to place the objects like wheels, breakables and fenders. They contain their axis positioning and object size values. In your files renaming you're practically removed the front-left wheel (also the rear-right gets removed for a reason) or given it different properties.
