Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Common in older Ford V8 engines, oil leaks can occur around valve covers, oil pans, and rear main seals.

Overheating

The cooling system may degrade over time, leading to overheating issues, especially if the radiator or water pump fails.

Spark plug issues

Misfires or poor performance can result from worn or improperly gapped spark plugs or faulty ignition coils.

Timing chain wear

The timing chain can stretch and wear out over time, potentially leading to engine timing issues.

Fuel injector problems

Clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors can cause poor fuel economy and engine performance.

Intake manifold gasket leaks

The intake manifold gaskets can deteriorate, leading to coolant leaks and potential engine overheating.

Idle air control valve failure

Issues with the IAC valve can result in rough idling or stalling at low speeds.

Egr valve failure

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and increased emissions.

Pcv valve issues

A faulty Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve can cause rough idling or oil leaks.
