Problems:

Oil leaks

Over time, seals and gaskets can wear out, leading to oil leaks which can cause engine damage if not addressed.

Timing belt failure

If the timing belt is not replaced at recommended intervals, it can break and cause severe engine damage, especially in interference engines like the H22A4.

Overheating

This can be caused by issues such as a faulty thermostat, radiator problems, or a failing water pump, leading to engine damage if not promptly fixed.

Vtec system malfunctions

The Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) system can experience issues such as solenoid failure or clogged oil passages, affecting engine performance.

Head gasket failure

A blown head gasket can cause coolant to mix with oil, leading to overheating and potential engine damage.

Ignition system problems

Faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or distributors can lead to misfires, poor fuel economy, and reduced engine performance.

Sensor failures

Problems with sensors such as the oxygen sensor, mass airflow sensor, or throttle position sensor can lead to incorrect air-fuel mixture and poor engine performance.

Fuel system issues

Clogged fuel injectors or a failing fuel pump can cause poor engine performance, rough idling, and difficulty starting.
