Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The VQ30 engine is known to develop oil leaks around the valve cover gaskets and the front timing cover.

Ignition coil failures

The ignition coils can fail, leading to misfires and rough engine performance.

Timing chain tensioner wear

Over time, the timing chain tensioners can wear out, causing a rattling noise and potential timing issues.

Coolant leaks

Coolant leaks can occur from the coolant bypass hoses and the radiator itself, leading to overheating problems.

Mass air flow (maf) sensor issues

The MAF sensor can become dirty or fail, causing poor engine performance and fuel economy.

Egr valve problems

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can get clogged, leading to rough idling and increased emissions.

Knock sensor failure

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