Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid, and any leaks can lead to decreased braking performance or brake failure.
Brake pedal feels spongy
Air may have entered the hydraulic brake lines, reducing the system's efficiency.
Warped brake rotors
Overheating or excessive wear can cause rotors to warp, leading to vibrations or reduced braking efficiency.
Worn brake pads
Brake pads wear down over time and need regular replacement to maintain braking performance.
Engine misfires
Issues with the SEFI system or ignition components can cause misfires, reducing engine performance.
Check engine light
Various sensors and systems in the SEFI setup could trigger the check engine light if they malfunction.
Overheating
V8 engines can overheat if the cooling system is not properly maintained.
Oil leaks
Common in older engines, oil leaks can occur around gaskets, seals, and the oil pan.
Timing chain issues
The Windsor engine can suffer from timing chain wear, leading to poor engine performance or failure.
Spark plug problems
Worn or fouled spark plugs can lead to poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.
Fuel injector issues
The SEFI system's fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, affecting engine performance.
Exhaust manifold cracks
V8 engines in older models can develop cracks in the exhaust manifold, leading to exhaust leaks and poor performance.
Vacuum leaks
Vacuum lines and components can deteriorate over time, causing rough idling and performance issues.
