Clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors can cause rough idling, poor fuel economy, and engine misfires.
Cooling system failures
Issues with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat can cause the engine to overheat, leading to severe engine damage if not promptly addressed.
Electrical issues
Given the integration with an electric motor, electrical issues such as faulty wiring or control units can cause performance problems or complete engine shutdown.
Sensor failures
Malfunctioning sensors (e.g., oxygen sensor, mass airflow sensor) can lead to incorrect fuel-air mixture, resulting in poor engine performance and increased emissions.
Carbon buildup
Direct injection engines like the E400V6 are prone to carbon buildup on intake valves, which can cause misfires, rough idle, and reduced performance.
Egr valve problems
A faulty Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can lead to rough idling, decreased fuel efficiency, and increased emissions.
Transmission issues
Although not directly related to the engine, issues with the transmission can affect the overall performance, especially in a vehicle with an integrated electric motor and AWD system.
