Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Older engines like the 1989 Lotus Esprit's 910 model can develop oil leaks due to worn gaskets and seals.

Overheating

The cooling systems in older vehicles can become less efficient over time, leading to potential overheating issues.

Fuel system issues

Aging fuel injectors or fuel pumps can cause poor engine performance or stalling.

Ignition problems

Components like spark plugs, ignition coils, and distributor caps may wear out, causing misfires or starting issues.

Vacuum leaks

Cracked or deteriorated vacuum hoses can cause rough idling and poor acceleration.

Timing belt failure

If not replaced at recommended intervals, the timing belt can fail, leading to severe engine damage.

Turbocharger wear

The turbocharger in the 910 engine can wear out over time, leading to reduced performance and increased exhaust smoke.

Exhaust manifold cracks

Due to heat cycles, the exhaust manifold can develop cracks, leading to exhaust leaks and noise.

Sensor failures

Older electronic components like oxygen sensors or throttle position sensors can fail, causing check engine lights and performance issues.
