Problems:

Oil leaks
Older Honda engines, including the D15B2, are prone to oil leaks, often from the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, or camshaft seals.
Timing belt failure
The D15B2 engine uses a timing belt, which needs regular replacement. Failure to do so can result in the belt snapping, causing major engine damage.
Head gasket issues
Over time, the head gasket can fail, leading to coolant leaks, overheating, and potential engine damage.
Distributor problems
The distributor in older Honda engines can fail, leading to issues with ignition timing and engine performance.
Vacuum leaks
The intake manifold gasket and various vacuum lines can develop leaks, causing rough idling and poor fuel economy.
Poor fuel economy
As the engine ages, components like the oxygen sensor, fuel injectors, and spark plugs can wear out, leading to reduced fuel efficiency.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The exhaust manifold on the D15B2 can develop cracks over time, causing exhaust leaks and increased engine noise.
Idle fluctuations
Issues with the idle air control valve or throttle body can cause the engine idle to fluctuate, leading to unstable idling conditions.
