Problems:
Oil leaks
Commonly found around the valve cover gaskets and oil pan due to worn gaskets or seals.
Overheating
Can be caused by a faulty thermostat, water pump failure, or a clogged radiator.
Misfiring
Often due to worn spark plugs, faulty ignition coils, or problematic fuel injectors.
Timing belt failure
The timing belt can wear out and break if not replaced periodically, leading to engine damage.
Idle issues
Rough idling can be caused by dirty fuel injectors, a vacuum leak, or a faulty idle air control valve.
Excessive oil consumption
May be due to worn piston rings or valve seals, leading to oil burning in the combustion chamber.
Egr valve problems
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve can become clogged, affecting engine performance and increasing emissions.
Knocking noise
Often related to issues with the rod bearings or piston slap due to wear and tear over time.
