Problems:
Engine misfire
Misfires can occur due to issues with the spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors, which are common in V-shaped engines.
Excessive oil consumption
V-shaped engines, especially with higher horsepower, can sometimes consume more oil than expected due to wear and tear on internal components.
Timing chain issues
V-shaped engines with complex configurations like the 8GR-FXS might experience timing chain problems, leading to poor engine performance.
Fuel injector problems
Direct and port fuel injection systems can develop issues with clogged injectors, affecting engine efficiency and performance.
Overheating
High-performance engines like those in the Lexus LC can be prone to overheating if the cooling system is not properly maintained.
Engine knocking
This can occur due to improper fuel or timing issues, often exacerbated in high-compression engines like the one in the 2018 Lexus LC.
Exhaust system issues
V-shaped engines can develop exhaust manifold cracks or gasket failures, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced performance.
Sensor failures
Modern engines rely heavily on sensors for efficient operation; failures in oxygen sensors, MAF sensors, or others can cause significant performance issues.
