Supercharger issues
The supercharger in the 2ZZ engine can have issues such as bearing failure, belt slippage, or reduced boost pressure, affecting performance.
Cooling system problems
High-performance engines like the 2ZZ in the 2008 Lotus Elise can experience cooling system issues, including radiator leaks or thermostat failures.
Timing chain wear
The timing chain can wear out over time, leading to potential engine timing issues and decreased performance.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The exhaust manifold can crack due to the high temperatures and stress from the supercharged engine, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced efficiency.
Fuel injector problems
High-performance engines often face fuel injector clogging or failure, which can cause misfires and poor fuel economy.
Ignition coil failure
Ignition coils can fail, leading to misfires and rough engine performance.
Sensor failures
Various sensors (e.g., MAF, O2) in the 2ZZ engine can fail, causing the engine to run poorly or triggering the check engine light.
