Common in older V8 engines, oil leaks can occur from various points such as valve covers, oil pan gaskets, or rear main seals.
Timing chain issues
The timing chain can stretch or the tensioner can fail, leading to poor engine performance or even severe engine damage.
Misfires
Ignition coil packs or spark plugs might fail, causing engine misfires which lead to rough running or loss of power.
Coolant leaks
The plastic components in the cooling system can become brittle over time, leading to coolant leaks and potential overheating issues.
Vacuum leaks
The complex vacuum system in V8 engines can develop leaks, causing erratic idling and performance issues.

This sensor can get dirty or fail, leading to incorrect air-fuel mixture and poor engine performance.
Crankshaft position sensor failure
This sensor can fail and cause the engine to stall or not start at all.
Fuel injector problems
Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor fuel delivery and engine performance issues.
