Problems:
Oil leaks
Over time, seals and gaskets can wear out, leading to oil leaks around the valve cover, oil pan, or timing cover.
Vacuum leaks
The vacuum hoses and lines can become brittle and crack, causing the engine to run rough or idle poorly.
Egr system issues
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can become clogged with carbon deposits, leading to poor engine performance and increased emissions.
Air pump failure
The air pump can fail, which is part of the emissions control system, leading to increased emissions and possibly a check engine light.
Evaporative emission control (evap) problems
Issues with the EVAP system, such as a faulty purge valve or gas cap, can cause the check engine light to come on and may affect fuel economy.
Engine overheating
Problems with the cooling system, such as a faulty thermostat, water pump, or radiator, can lead to engine overheating.
Timing belt wear
The timing belt can wear out or break, which can cause severe engine damage if not replaced at the recommended intervals.
Fuel injector problems
Dirty or clogged fuel injectors can cause poor engine performance, rough idling, and reduced fuel efficiency.
Sensor failures
Sensors like the oxygen sensor, mass airflow sensor, or coolant temperature sensor can fail, leading to poor engine performance and increased fuel consumption.
Electrical issues
Wiring and connectors can corrode or become loose over time, causing intermittent or persistent electrical problems which can affect engine performance.
