Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Over time, gaskets and seals may degrade, leading to oil leaks which can affect engine performance and cause damage.

Misfiring

Worn out spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors can cause the engine to misfire, resulting in poor performance and increased emissions.

Overheating

Cooling system issues, such as a malfunctioning thermostat, water pump, or radiator, can lead to the engine overheating.

Timing chain issues

The timing chain may stretch or wear out over time, potentially leading to engine timing issues and poor performance.

Vacuum leaks

Cracked or disconnected vacuum hoses can lead to unmetered air entering the engine, causing rough idling and poor acceleration.

Carbon buildup

Over time, carbon deposits can accumulate on intake valves and other engine components, reducing efficiency and performance.

Sensor failures

Faulty oxygen sensors or mass air flow sensors can lead to incorrect air-fuel mixture, reducing engine performance and fuel economy.

Fuel pump failure

A failing fuel pump can lead to poor fuel delivery, causing the engine to stall or have difficulty starting.
