Cooling system issues

The cooling system, including the radiator and water pump, can develop leaks or fail, leading to overheating problems.

Fuel injector problems

Fuel injectors can become clogged or faulty, affecting engine performance and fuel efficiency.

Ignition coil failure

Ignition coils may fail over time, causing misfires and reduced engine performance.

Idle air control valve issues
