Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Common in vehicles of this age, oil leaks can occur from worn gaskets or seals, leading to decreased engine performance and potential damage.

Overheating

A common issue in older models, often caused by a failing cooling system, such as a malfunctioning radiator, thermostat, or water pump.

Ignition issues

Problems with the ignition system, such as faulty spark plugs or ignition coils, can lead to poor engine performance and starting difficulties.

Fuel system problems

Issues with fuel injectors or fuel pump can cause poor fuel delivery, leading to engine misfires, reduced power, and efficiency.

Timing chain/belt wear

Over time, the timing chain or belt can wear out, causing issues with engine timing that affect performance and can lead to severe engine damage if not addressed.

Sensor failures

Older models may experience failures in various engine sensors, such as oxygen sensors or mass airflow sensors, leading to poor fuel economy and performance.

Exhaust system issues

Problems with the exhaust system, including leaks or a failing catalytic converter, can affect engine performance and emissions.
