Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems depend on brake fluid to function properly. Leaks can lead to reduced braking performance or complete brake failure.

Spongy brake pedal

Air trapped in the hydraulic brake lines can cause the brake pedal to feel spongy or soft, reducing braking effectiveness.

Warped brake rotors

Over time, brake rotors can warp due to excessive heat, leading to vibrations when braking.

Brake pad wear

Brake pads wear down over time and need to be replaced periodically to maintain effective braking performance.

Cooling system issues

The aluminum engine can be prone to overheating if the cooling system is not maintained properly, leading to potential engine damage.

Timing chain failure

The GM L61 engine has been known to experience timing chain issues, which can lead to severe engine damage if not addressed.

Oil leaks

Due to the age of the vehicle, seals and gaskets may degrade, leading to oil leaks.

Fuel injector problems

Multi-port fuel injection systems like the DOHC MFI can experience issues with clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors, affecting engine performance.

Valve cover gasket leaks

The valve cover gasket can degrade over time, leading to oil leaks around the top of the engine.

Thermostat failure

The thermostat can fail, causing the engine to run too hot or too cold, which can affect performance and fuel efficiency.

Ignition coil failure

The 4-cylinder configuration can be prone to ignition coil failures, leading to misfires and poor engine performance.

Mass air flow sensor issues

The mass air flow sensor can become dirty or fail, leading to incorrect air-fuel mixture and poor engine performance.
