Problems:

Overheating
V-shaped engines, especially older models, can have issues with cooling, leading to overheating.
Fuel injection problems
Central fuel injection systems can develop issues over time, affecting performance and fuel efficiency.
Oil leaks
Older engines, like the 1987 model, are prone to oil leaks due to worn gaskets and seals.
Ignition system issues
V8 engines with aging ignition components may experience misfires or starting problems.
Wear and tear on timing components
Engines with high mileage may have worn timing chains or belts, leading to poor engine performance.
Vacuum leaks
Older fuel injection systems can develop vacuum leaks, causing rough idling and poor acceleration.
Exhaust manifold cracks
V-shaped engines can develop cracks in the exhaust manifold, leading to exhaust leaks and performance issues.
Worn piston rings
High-mileage engines may suffer from worn piston rings, leading to decreased compression and increased oil consumption.
Faulty sensors
Central fuel injection systems rely on sensors that can fail over time, causing various engine issues.
Carbon build-up
Older engines can accumulate carbon deposits, affecting valve operation and overall engine performance.
