Other Engine Info
EFI: Electronic Fuel Injection; Turbocharged and Intercooled
Problems:
Oil leaks
Turbocharged engines like the one in the 1991 Ford Probe can experience oil leaks due to increased pressure and heat, which can cause seals and gaskets to fail.
Turbocharger failure
The turbocharger can wear out over time due to high operating temperatures and pressures, leading to reduced performance or failure.
Electronic fuel injection (efi) issues
EFI systems can develop problems with sensors, injectors, or the control module, leading to poor engine performance or starting issues.
Overheating
Turbocharged and intercooled engines can be prone to overheating if the cooling system is not well-maintained or if there is a failure in the intercooler.
Head gasket failure
High pressures from turbocharging can cause head gasket failure, leading to coolant and oil mixing or loss of compression.
Timing belt/chain wear
In-line 4-cylinder engines can experience wear in the timing belt or chain, which could lead to timing issues or engine damage if not replaced at recommended intervals.
Ignition system problems
Components like spark plugs, ignition coils, and wires can wear out, causing misfires or poor engine performance.
Vacuum leaks
Turbocharged engines have complex vacuum systems that can develop leaks, leading to poor engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Intercooler problems
The intercooler can become clogged or damaged, reducing its effectiveness and potentially leading to engine overheating or loss of power.
