Vacuum leaks
Vacuum lines and components can become brittle and crack, causing the engine to run poorly or stall.
Fuel injector problems
Clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors can lead to poor fuel delivery, affecting engine performance and fuel economy.
Sensor failures
Aged sensors, such as the oxygen sensor or mass airflow sensor, can fail, leading to incorrect air-fuel mixture and poor engine performance.
Throttle body issues
Carbon buildup in the throttle body can cause poor throttle response and engine stalling.
Crankshaft position sensor failure
A failing crankshaft position sensor can cause the engine to stall or not start at all.
