Problems:
Oil leaks
Common in older engines, especially around the valve cover gasket, oil pan, and front and rear main seals.
Overheating
Due to age, cooling system components like the radiator, water pump, and thermostat might fail.
Idle issues
Possible due to a dirty or faulty idle air control valve or throttle body.
Timing belt wear
If not replaced at regular intervals, it can lead to catastrophic engine damage.
Vacuum leaks
Can cause rough idle and poor fuel economy, often due to deteriorated hoses.
Distributor problems
Wear in the distributor cap and rotor can cause misfiring and ignition issues.
Fuel injector issues
Can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance.
Head gasket failure
Can cause coolant leaks, overheating, and poor engine performance due to age and thermal cycling.
Sensor failures
Older sensors (like the oxygen sensor or coolant temperature sensor) may fail, leading to incorrect engine management.
