Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The H22A4 engine is known for oil leaks, particularly from the valve cover gasket and the camshaft seals.

Timing belt failure

The timing belt on the H22A4 engine needs regular replacement. Failure to do so can result in severe engine damage.

Excessive oil consumption

Some H22A4 engines may consume more oil than usual, often due to worn piston rings or valve seals.

Idle fluctuations

The engine may experience idle fluctuations or idle surges due to issues with the idle air control valve or vacuum leaks.

Overheating

Overheating can occur due to issues with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat, which are crucial for maintaining proper engine temperature.

Distributor problems

The distributor on these engines can fail, leading to misfires or the engine not starting.

Egr valve issues

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

Sensor failures

Sensors such as the oxygen sensor and throttle position sensor can fail, resulting in poor engine performance and fuel economy.
