Other Engine Info
EFI: Electronic Fuel Injection; Turbocharged and Intercooled
Problems:
Oil leaks
Turbocharged engines like the one in the 1991 Ford Probe can experience oil leaks due to increased pressure and heat, which can cause seals and gaskets to fail.
Turbocharger failure
The turbocharger can wear out over time due to high operating temperatures and pressures, leading to reduced performance or failure.
Electronic fuel injection (efi) issues
EFI systems can develop problems with sensors, injectors, or the control module, leading to poor engine performance or starting issues.
Overheating
Turbocharged and intercooled engines can be prone to overheating if the cooling system is not well-maintained or if there is a failure in the intercooler.
Head gasket failure
High pressures from turbocharging can cause head gasket failure, leading to coolant and oil mixing or loss of compression.
Timing belt/chain wear
In-line 4-cylinder engines can experience wear in the timing belt or chain, which could lead to timing issues or engine damage if not replaced at recommended intervals.
Ignition system problems
Components like spark plugs, ignition coils, and wires can wear out, causing misfires or poor engine performance.
Vacuum leaks
Turbocharged engines have complex vacuum systems that can develop leaks, leading to poor engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Intercooler problems
The intercooler can become clogged or damaged, reducing its effectiveness and potentially leading to engine overheating or loss of power.

Problems:
Overheating
The Mazda 929's V-shaped 6-cylinder engine can sometimes suffer from overheating due to issues such as a malfunctioning thermostat, a clogged radiator, or a failing water pump.
Oil leaks
This engine model may experience oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets or oil pan, which can cause low oil levels and potential engine damage if not addressed.
Timing belt failure
The 1991 Mazda 929's engine relies on a timing belt, which can wear out or break over time, leading to severe engine damage if not replaced at recommended intervals.
Ignition system issues
Problems with the ignition coils, distributor, or spark plugs can lead to misfires, poor engine performance, and difficulty starting the vehicle.
Fuel injector problems
Clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors can cause uneven fuel distribution, leading to rough idling, poor fuel economy, and reduced engine power.
Coolant leaks
The engine may develop coolant leaks from the hoses, radiator, or head gasket, leading to potential overheating and engine damage.
Exhaust system issues
Corrosion or damage to the exhaust system components, such as the catalytic converter or muffler, can cause increased emissions, noise, and reduced engine performance.
Vacuum leaks
Cracked or disconnected vacuum hoses can lead to a variety of engine performance issues, including rough idling, stalling, and poor acceleration.
