Overheating
Cooling system issues, such as radiator or thermostat failures, are common in older VG30E engines, leading to overheating.
Misfires
Ignition system problems, including faulty spark plugs or ignition coils, can cause misfires in the VG30E engine.
Vacuum leaks
The VG30E engine may develop vacuum leaks from hoses and gaskets, leading to rough idle and poor performance.
Fuel injector issues
Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, causing performance issues in the VG30E engine.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The VG30E engine can develop cracks in the exhaust manifold, leading to exhaust leaks and increased noise.
