Oil leaks
The D15B2 engine, being an older model, may develop oil leaks around the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, or camshaft seals due to aging seals and gaskets.

The timing belt on the D15B2 engine needs regular replacement. If neglected, it can break and cause severe engine damage.
Idle issues
The D15B2 engine can experience idle problems due to a faulty idle air control valve or vacuum leaks.
Overheating
Older cooling systems may develop issues such as radiator leaks or a failing thermostat, leading to overheating problems.

Higher mileage engines like the D15B2 may develop head gasket issues, resulting in coolant leaks, oil contamination, or overheating.
Distributor problems
The distributor, which controls ignition timing, can fail or become worn, causing misfires or starting issues.
Fuel injector clogging
Fuel injectors can become clogged over time, leading to poor engine performance and fuel economy.
Valve adjustment issues
The D15B2 engine may need periodic valve adjustments to maintain optimal performance and prevent valve-related issues.
