Fuel system issues
Problems with the fuel injectors or fuel pump can lead to poor engine performance or starting difficulties.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The exhaust manifold on the Viper's V10 engine can be prone to cracking, which can cause exhaust leaks and performance issues.
Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain and related components can wear out, leading to poor engine timing and potential damage.
Sensor failures
Various engine sensors, such as the oxygen sensor or mass air flow sensor, can fail and affect engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Valve train noise
