Oil leaks
With age, gaskets and seals in the engine can wear out, leading to oil leaks.
Timing chain/belt issues
Older engines are prone to timing chain or belt wear, which can cause engine misfires or failure.
Fuel injector problems
Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Ignition system failure
Worn-out spark plugs or ignition coils are common in older vehicles, causing starting and running issues.
Intake manifold gasket leaks
The V6 engine design can lead to intake manifold gasket failures, resulting in vacuum leaks and engine performance issues.
Valve cover gasket leaks
Valve cover gaskets can degrade over time, causing oil leaks and potential engine damage.
Crankshaft position sensor failure
This sensor can fail, leading to engine stalling or failure to start.
Exhaust manifold cracks
With age, exhaust manifolds can develop cracks, resulting in exhaust leaks and reduced engine performance.
Head gasket failure
