Problems:

Brake fluid leak
Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function correctly. A leak in the brake lines, master cylinder, or wheel cylinders can cause loss of braking efficiency.
Brake pedal spongy or soft
Air in the hydraulic brake lines can result in a spongy or soft brake pedal feel, reducing braking performance.
Worn brake pads or shoes
Over time, brake pads or shoes can wear down, leading to decreased braking performance and potential damage to rotors or drums.
Brake caliper sticking
A sticking brake caliper can cause uneven braking, pulling to one side, or increased brake pad wear.
Overheating brakes
Excessive braking or dragging brakes can cause the brake system to overheat, leading to brake fade and reduced performance.
Engine misfires
The 22R/22R-EC/22R-TEC engines can develop misfires due to worn spark plugs, ignition system issues, or fuel delivery problems.
Timing chain noise
In-Line 4-cylinder engines like the 22R are known for timing chain stretch or wear, which can cause a rattling noise from the engine.
Carburetor issues
Older carbureted engines like the 22R can suffer from problems such as clogged jets, improper adjustments, or vacuum leaks.
Oil leaks
Common areas for oil leaks include the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, and front and rear crankshaft seals.
Overheating engine
Potential causes include a malfunctioning thermostat, clogged radiator, or failing water pump.
Poor fuel economy
Issues such as a dirty air filter, malfunctioning carburetor, or incorrect ignition timing can lead to reduced fuel efficiency.
Weak acceleration
Problems with the ignition system, fuel delivery, or compression can result in weak acceleration and poor engine performance.
Excessive exhaust smoke
This can be caused by burning oil (blue smoke), coolant (white smoke), or too much fuel (black smoke).
