Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Common in older inline-4 engines, which can lead to decreased engine performance and potential damage if not addressed.

Overheating

May occur due to issues with the cooling system, such as a faulty radiator, water pump, or thermostat.

Vacuum leaks

Can cause rough idling, poor fuel economy, and engine stalling, particularly in older vehicles.

Ignition system failure

Problems with spark plugs, ignition coils, or the distributor can lead to misfires and starting issues.

Timing belt/chain issues

Wear and tear on the timing belt or chain can cause poor engine performance or even catastrophic engine failure if it breaks.

Fuel system problems

Issues with the fuel pump, injectors, or fuel filter can lead to engine hesitation, poor acceleration, and stalling.

Head gasket failure

Can cause coolant leaks, overheating, and significant engine damage if not repaired.

Carbon buildup

Over time, carbon deposits can accumulate in the engine, leading to reduced performance and efficiency.

Sensor failures

Faulty sensors, such as the oxygen sensor or MAF sensor, can negatively impact engine performance and fuel economy.

Flexible fuel system issues

Flexible fuel vehicles may experience problems related to the use of various fuel types, potentially affecting engine performance and longevity.
