The B18B1 engine is known to develop oil leaks over time, often from the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, or camshaft seals.
Timing belt issues
The timing belt on the B18B1 engine can wear out or snap, leading to severe engine damage if not replaced at recommended intervals.
Overheating
Cooling system problems, such as a faulty radiator, water pump, or thermostat, can cause the engine to overheat.
Idle fluctuations
Issues with the idle air control valve or vacuum leaks can cause the engine to have an unstable idle.
Head gasket failure
The head gasket can fail, leading to coolant leaks, oil contamination, and overheating.
Poor fuel efficiency
Problems with the fuel injectors, oxygen sensor, or air filter can lead to reduced fuel economy.
Misfires
Ignition system issues, such as failing spark plugs, ignition coils, or distributor problems, can cause engine misfires.
Exhaust smoke
Excessive exhaust smoke, either blue, black, or white, can indicate problems with the engine's internal components, such as piston rings, valve seals, or head gasket.
