Problems:
Oil leaks
In-line 4-cylinder engines from the 1980s, including those in the Chrysler LeBaron, are prone to oil leaks, often due to aging gaskets and seals.
Overheating
These engines can suffer from overheating issues, particularly if the cooling system components such as the radiator, thermostat, or water pump are not well-maintained.
Carburetor problems
The 2BBL carburetor can develop issues over time, such as clogging or incorrect fuel-air mixture, leading to poor engine performance and difficulty in starting.
Timing belt wear
The timing belt in in-line 4-cylinder engines needs regular inspection and replacement, as failure can lead to severe engine damage.
Vacuum leaks
Vacuum hoses and connections can become brittle and crack over time, causing rough idling and poor engine performance.
Ignition system issues
Problems with spark plugs, ignition wires, and the distributor can cause misfires and reduce engine efficiency.
Fuel system issues
Aging fuel pumps and fuel filters can lead to inconsistent fuel delivery, affecting engine performance and reliability.
