Most common problems:

Oil consumption

V8 engines, including those in Ford Mustangs, can sometimes consume more oil than expected, which requires regular monitoring and top-offs.

Spark plug fouling

High-performance V8 engines are prone to spark plug fouling, which can cause misfires and reduced performance.

Overheating

V8 engines generate a lot of heat, and if the cooling system isn't maintained properly, it can lead to overheating issues.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain in V8 engines can stretch or wear out, leading to potential engine timing issues.

Fuel injector problems

Clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors can cause rough idling, poor acceleration, and reduced fuel efficiency.

Engine knocking

If the engine's air-fuel mixture is off or if there are issues with the ignition system, knocking or pinging sounds may occur.

Oil leaks

Gaskets and seals in V8 engines can deteriorate over time, leading to oil leaks.

Carbon buildup

High-performance engines can accumulate carbon deposits on intake valves, pistons, and other components, affecting performance.

Sensor failures

Modern engines rely on numerous sensors; failure of these sensors can cause a variety of engine performance issues.
