Problems:

Oil leaks

V-shaped engines, particularly older models like the 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix, are prone to oil leaks due to gasket wear and tear.

Cooling system issues

V6 engines can experience overheating if the cooling system is not properly maintained, leading to potential head gasket failure.

Timing chain/belt wear

The timing chain or belt in a V6 engine can wear out and may require replacement to avoid engine performance issues.

Ignition coil failure

V6 engines, including those from CPC, can have problems with ignition coils, leading to misfires and rough running.

Intake manifold gasket failure

The intake manifold gaskets in V6 engines can deteriorate over time, causing vacuum leaks and poor engine performance.

Fuel injector problems

Fuel injectors may clog or fail, affecting engine performance and fuel efficiency.

Crankshaft position sensor issues

A faulty crankshaft position sensor can lead to starting problems and poor engine performance.

Valve cover gasket leaks

Valve cover gaskets can degrade and cause oil leaks onto the exhaust manifold, leading to potential smoke and smell issues.

Exhaust manifold cracks
