Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The A20A1 engine, like many older engines, is prone to oil leaks, particularly from the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, and camshaft seals.

Overheating

Due to the age of the vehicle, the cooling system components such as the radiator, thermostat, and water pump may become less effective, leading to potential overheating issues.

Timing belt wear

The A20A1 engine uses a timing belt that requires regular replacement. Failure to do so can result in the belt snapping, which can cause severe engine damage.

Idle problems

The carburetor in the 1987 Honda Accord can develop issues over time, leading to rough or unstable idling.

Vacuum leaks

The numerous vacuum lines in the engine bay can become brittle and crack over time, leading to vacuum leaks that can affect engine performance.

Ignition system issues

Components such as the distributor, ignition coil, and spark plugs may wear out, leading to misfires and poor engine performance.

Head gasket failure

With age, the head gasket can deteriorate, leading to coolant leaks, oil leaks, or even mixing of oil and coolant.

Fuel system issues

Fuel injectors and the fuel pump may wear out or become clogged, leading to poor fuel delivery and engine performance issues.
