Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V6 engines, especially in older models like the 1998 Buick Park Avenue, can develop oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, or other seals.

Intake manifold gasket failure

The intake manifold gaskets on these engines can fail, leading to coolant leaks and potential engine overheating.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain on a V-shaped engine can wear out, leading to noise and potential engine timing issues.

Ignition coil problems

The ignition coils in these engines can fail, causing misfires and rough running conditions.

Fuel injector issues

Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.

Cooling system problems

Radiators, water pumps, and other cooling system components can fail, leading to overheating issues.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

A faulty crankshaft position sensor can cause stalling, no-start conditions, and poor engine performance.

Egr valve clogging

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can become clogged with carbon deposits, causing rough idling and reduced engine performance.
