Most common problems:

Oil leaks

This can occur due to worn-out gaskets, seals, or oil pan issues, especially in older vehicles.

Coolant leaks

Aging hoses, a failing water pump, or a damaged radiator can result in coolant leaks which can lead to engine overheating.

Overheating

This might be caused by a stuck thermostat, clogged radiator, or issues with the cooling fan.

Engine misfires

Faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors can lead to engine misfires which affect performance.

Timing chain/belt issues

Wear and tear can cause the timing chain or belt to stretch or break, leading to significant engine damage.

Fuel injector problems

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

Vacuum leaks

Cracked or disconnected vacuum lines can lead to rough idle and poor engine performance.

Electronic control unit (ecu) issues

Problems with the ECU can lead to various engine performance issues, including failure to start.

Sensor failures

Faulty oxygen sensors, mass air flow sensors, or crankshaft position sensors can lead to poor fuel economy and engine performance.

Exhaust manifold leaks

Cracks or loose bolts in the exhaust manifold can cause exhaust leaks, leading to noise and potential engine performance issues.
