Most common problems:

Oil consumption

The H22A4 engine is known for higher-than-average oil consumption, often due to worn piston rings or valve seals.

Timing belt failure

The timing belt needs regular replacement; if it fails, it can cause severe engine damage due to interference design.

Vtec solenoid issues

Problems with the VTEC solenoid can lead to performance issues, as the solenoid controls the variable valve timing.

Head gasket failure

The engine may develop head gasket issues, leading to coolant leaks and overheating.

Distributor problems

Faulty distributors can cause misfires and difficulty starting the engine.

Egr valve clogging

The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve can become clogged, leading to poor engine performance and increased emissions.

Idle air control valve failure

Problems with the idle air control valve can cause erratic idling or stalling.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

Failure of this sensor can lead to the engine not starting or running poorly.

Knock sensor failure

A faulty knock sensor can cause poor engine performance and increased fuel consumption.
