Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, calipers, or master cylinder, leading to reduced braking efficiency.

A spongy or soft brake pedal can indicate air in the hydraulic lines or a failing master cylinder.

Prolonged use of the brakes, especially under heavy load or during towing, can cause the brakes to overheat and lose effectiveness.

With an in-line 6-cylinder engine, misfires could be due to issues with the spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.

The electronic fuel injection system can develop issues such as clogged injectors or faulty sensors, leading to poor engine performance.

Older engines like the 1991 Ford F-150's in-line 6 can suffer from radiator, water pump, or thermostat failures, causing overheating.

Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear out, leading to poor engine timing and performance issues.

Common in older engines, oil leaks can occur from the valve cover gasket, oil pan, or rear main seal.

Vacuum hoses can become brittle and crack over time, causing rough idling and poor engine performance.

The exhaust manifold can develop cracks, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced engine performance.

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can become clogged or fail, affecting emissions and engine performance.

Turbocharged engines like the one in the 1991 Ford Probe can experience oil leaks due to increased pressure and heat, which can cause seals and gaskets to fail.

The turbocharger can wear out over time due to high operating temperatures and pressures, leading to reduced performance or failure.

EFI systems can develop problems with sensors, injectors, or the control module, leading to poor engine performance or starting issues.

Turbocharged and intercooled engines can be prone to overheating if the cooling system is not well-maintained or if there is a failure in the intercooler.

High pressures from turbocharging can cause head gasket failure, leading to coolant and oil mixing or loss of compression.

In-line 4-cylinder engines can experience wear in the timing belt or chain, which could lead to timing issues or engine damage if not replaced at recommended intervals.

Components like spark plugs, ignition coils, and wires can wear out, causing misfires or poor engine performance.

Turbocharged engines have complex vacuum systems that can develop leaks, leading to poor engine performance and fuel efficiency.

The intercooler can become clogged or damaged, reducing its effectiveness and potentially leading to engine overheating or loss of power.

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, calipers, or master cylinder, leading to reduced braking efficiency.

The exhaust manifold can develop cracks, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced engine performance.

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can become clogged or fail, affecting emissions and engine performance.

The V-shaped engine configuration can sometimes lead to inefficient cooling, especially in older models like the 1991 Ford Taurus.

Common in older Ford engines, which can lead to coolant leaks and engine overheating.

The Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system can develop problems over time, leading to poor fuel delivery and engine performance.

Older ignition systems can suffer from wear and tear, leading to misfires and poor engine performance.

Common in older vehicles due to worn gaskets and seals, which can lead to low oil levels and potential engine damage.

Over time, the timing chain or belt can wear out, leading to potential engine timing issues or failure.

Vacuum lines can become brittle and leak, causing rough idling and poor engine performance.
