Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Common issue in older engines due to gasket wear, leading to oil dripping from the engine.

Timing chain issues

Over time, the timing chain may stretch or wear out, causing engine misfires or rough running.

Cooling system failure

Radiators, water pumps, and thermostats can fail, leading to overheating.

Ignition coil failure

Coils can degrade, causing misfires and reduced engine performance.

Fuel injector problems

Clogged or malfunctioning injectors can result in poor fuel delivery and engine hesitation.

Vacuum leaks

Cracked or disconnected vacuum hoses can cause idle issues and poor fuel economy.

Exhaust gas recirculation (egr) valve issues

The EGR valve can become clogged with carbon deposits, leading to reduced performance and increased emissions.

Head gasket failure

A blown head gasket can cause coolant and oil to mix, leading to engine overheating and severe damage.

Spark plug wear

Worn or fouled spark plugs can cause misfires, rough idling, and decreased fuel efficiency.

Mass air flow (maf) sensor failure

A faulty MAF sensor can lead to incorrect air-fuel mixture, affecting engine performance.
