Problems:

Oil consumption issues
V6 engines, like the J37A4, can sometimes have problems with excessive oil consumption, which may be due to piston ring wear or valve seal issues.
Timing belt wear
The J37A4 engine uses a timing belt, which requires regular maintenance and replacement. If not replaced timely, it can lead to severe engine damage.
Valve adjustment
V-shaped engines often require periodic valve adjustments to maintain optimal performance and avoid engine misfires or rough idling.
Overheating
V6 engines can be prone to overheating if the cooling system is not properly maintained. Common causes include a failing water pump, clogged radiator, or malfunctioning thermostat.
Ignition coil failure
The J37A4 engine can experience ignition coil failures, leading to misfires, poor fuel economy, and reduced engine performance.
Fuel injector issues
Fuel injectors in the J37A4 can become clogged or fail, causing rough idling, poor acceleration, and decreased fuel efficiency.
Intake manifold gasket leaks
V-shaped engines can develop leaks in the intake manifold gaskets, leading to vacuum leaks, rough idling, and poor engine performance.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines like the J37A4 can suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves, leading to reduced performance and fuel economy.

Spark plug problems
Ford V6 engines sometimes experience issues with spark plugs, including difficulty in removal or the plugs breaking.
Fuel system issues
Problems with the fuel injectors or fuel pump can lead to engine performance issues, including misfires and poor fuel economy.
Sensor failures
Faulty sensors, such as the oxygen sensor or mass airflow sensor, can cause the engine to run poorly or trigger the check engine light.
Vacuum leaks
Vacuum leaks can occur in various places around the intake manifold, causing rough idling or poor acceleration.
Exhaust system corrosion
The exhaust system components, particularly in older models, may suffer from corrosion leading to leaks and increased emissions.
Throttle body problems
Issues with the throttle body can cause the engine to stall or run rough, affecting overall performance.
