Engine Number of Cylinders

Problems:

Oil consumption

The K20Z3 engine is known to consume more oil than usual, particularly in older models. Regular monitoring of oil levels is essential.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear out, leading to poor engine performance or even engine failure if not addressed promptly.

Vtc actuator noise

The Variable Timing Control (VTC) actuator can produce a rattling noise during startup, which may indicate the need for replacement.

Spark plug fouling

Due to oil consumption issues, spark plugs can become fouled more frequently, leading to misfires or poor engine performance.

Head gasket failure

While not extremely common, head gasket failures can occur, leading to coolant leaks and potential engine overheating.

Throttle body issues

The electronic throttle body can sometimes malfunction, causing erratic idling or reduced engine performance.

Sensor failures

Various sensors, such as the oxygen sensor and mass air flow sensor, may fail over time, leading to check engine lights and performance issues.
