Most common problems:

Head gasket failure

The 1994 Subaru SVX with a 6-cylinder engine is known for head gasket issues. This can lead to coolant leaks, oil leaks, and overheating if not addressed.

Oil leaks

The SVX can develop oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets, oil pan, and rear main seal. These leaks can lead to reduced engine performance and potential damage.

Timing belt issues

The timing belt in the SVX needs to be replaced at regular intervals. If it fails, it can cause significant engine damage due to the interference nature of the engine.

Cooling system problems

The SVX can suffer from radiator and coolant hose failures, which can lead to overheating and potential engine damage.

Transmission problems

Although not directly an engine issue, the automatic transmission in the SVX can fail, causing drivability issues and potential engine strain.

Fuel injector failures

The fuel injectors in the SVX can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance, misfires, and reduced fuel efficiency.

Mass air flow sensor issues

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

Knock sensor malfunction

The knock sensor can fail, causing the engine to run improperly and potentially leading to engine damage if not addressed.

Crankshaft position sensor problems

A failing crankshaft position sensor can cause the engine to stall or not start, as it is crucial for engine timing and operation.
