Overheating
This can be caused by a failing thermostat, radiator issues, or a malfunctioning water pump.
Ignition system problems
Issues with the spark plugs, ignition coils, or distributor can lead to poor engine performance or starting problems.
Vacuum leaks
Leaks in the vacuum system can cause rough idling, stalling, or a decrease in fuel efficiency.
Fuel system issues
Problems with the fuel pump, fuel filter, or injectors can lead to poor acceleration or stalling.
Exhaust system corrosion
Older vehicles like the 1982 Cabriolet may suffer from rust and corrosion in the exhaust system, leading to leaks and increased emissions.
