Problems:
Oil leaks
Common in older vehicles, oil leaks can occur from various seals and gaskets deteriorating over time.
Head gasket failure
The V-shaped configuration can sometimes lead to uneven cooling or pressure, causing head gasket issues.
Valve cover gasket leaks
A V6 engine has two valve covers, doubling the chances of gasket leaks.
Timing belt/chain issues
Depending on whether this model uses a timing belt or chain, either can wear out or fail, causing engine performance issues.
Fuel injector problems
EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) systems can have issues with dirty or clogged fuel injectors, affecting engine performance.
Spark plug wear
Six-cylinder engines require more spark plugs, which can wear out and cause misfires or reduced efficiency.
Cooling system failures
The V-shaped engine can have hotspots, leading to potential overheating if the cooling system is not maintained properly.
Ignition coil failure
Common in Ford-manufactured engines, bad ignition coils can lead to misfires and poor engine performance.
