Fuel injector problems
With complex fuel injection systems, V8 engines can suffer from clogged or failing fuel injectors, leading to rough idling, poor fuel economy, and reduced power.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The high temperatures experienced by performance engines can cause the exhaust manifold to crack, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced efficiency.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves over time, leading to reduced airflow and performance issues.
Sensor failures
Modern engines rely heavily on sensors; failures in oxygen sensors, MAF sensors, or others can affect engine performance and efficiency.
Camshaft lobe wear
High-performance engines like the AM15 can experience camshaft lobe wear, affecting valve timing and overall engine performance.
Vacuum leaks
Complex configurations in V-shaped engines can result in vacuum leaks, leading to rough idling and poor performance.
