Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The F22A1 engine in the 1991 Honda Accord is known for developing oil leaks, particularly from the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, and crankshaft seals.

Timing belt wear

This engine uses a timing belt, which must be replaced at regular intervals to avoid catastrophic engine damage. Failure to replace the timing belt can result in it snapping and causing severe engine damage.

Head gasket failure

Over time, the head gasket can fail, leading to coolant mixing with the engine oil or causing the engine to overheat.

Distributor issues

The distributor in the F22A1 engine can develop problems such as oil leaks and electrical failures, which can cause misfires and starting issues.

Idle control problems

The idle air control valve can get dirty or fail, causing erratic idling or stalling at idle.

Egr valve clogging

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

Fuel injector problems

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

Cooling system issues

Radiators, hoses, and water pumps can develop leaks or fail, leading to engine overheating.
