Problems:
Oil leaks
Common in older vehicles, oil leaks can occur from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or rear main seals.
Overheating
This can be due to a faulty thermostat, a failing water pump, or a clogged radiator, especially in older models.
Fuel system issues
Problems with the fuel pump or fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance or stalling.
Ignition system failure
Worn out spark plugs, ignition coils, or distributor issues can cause misfires and poor engine performance.
Vacuum leaks
Cracked or disconnected vacuum hoses can lead to rough idling and poor fuel economy.
Timing chain/belt issues
A worn or stretched timing chain/belt can cause engine misfires, rough running, or even catastrophic engine failure if it breaks.
Exhaust manifold cracks
Age and heat cycles can cause the exhaust manifold to crack, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced engine performance.
Sensor failures
Older vehicles can suffer from failing sensors like oxygen sensors, leading to incorrect fuel-air mixture and reduced efficiency.
