Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Common in older engines, especially around the valve cover gasket, oil pan, and front and rear main seals.

Overheating

Due to age, cooling system components like the radiator, water pump, and thermostat might fail.

Idle issues

Possible due to a dirty or faulty idle air control valve or throttle body.

Timing belt wear

If not replaced at regular intervals, it can lead to catastrophic engine damage.

Vacuum leaks

Can cause rough idle and poor fuel economy, often due to deteriorated hoses.

Distributor problems

Wear in the distributor cap and rotor can cause misfiring and ignition issues.

Fuel injector issues

Can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance.

Head gasket failure

Can cause coolant leaks, overheating, and poor engine performance due to age and thermal cycling.

Sensor failures

Older sensors (like the oxygen sensor or coolant temperature sensor) may fail, leading to incorrect engine management.
