Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems are prone to leaks, which can result in decreased braking performance and an increased risk of brake failure.
Brake pedal feels spongy
Air in the brake lines can cause the brake pedal to feel spongy and reduce braking effectiveness.
Worn brake pads or shoes
Over time, brake pads or shoes wear out and need to be replaced to maintain proper braking performance.
Engine misfiring
The 22R engine may experience misfiring due to issues with the ignition system, such as faulty spark plugs, ignition wires, or distributor components.
Overheating
Cooling system issues, such as a faulty thermostat, water pump, or radiator, can lead to engine overheating.
Oil leaks
The 22R engine is known to develop oil leaks from the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, or front and rear main seals.
Timing chain noise
A worn or loose timing chain can create a rattling noise and may eventually lead to engine timing issues.
Carburetor problems
The 22R engine's carburetor can develop issues such as clogging or improper adjustment, leading to poor engine performance and fuel economy.
Fuel pump failure
A failing fuel pump can cause engine stalling, difficulty starting, or poor engine performance.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The exhaust manifold on the 22R engine may develop cracks over time, leading to exhaust leaks and increased engine noise.
