Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Over time, gaskets and seals can deteriorate, leading to oil leaks, which are common in older vehicles like a 2001 model.

Cooling system failures

The cooling system, including the radiator and water pump, can fail, causing overheating issues, especially in vehicles with higher mileage.

Ignition coil and spark plug issues

Older engines with high mileage can experience misfires due to worn-out ignition coils and spark plugs.

Sensor failures

Sensors such as the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor, O2 sensors, and crankshaft position sensors can fail, leading to performance and efficiency issues.

Timing chain/belt wear

Over time, the timing chain or belt can wear out, leading to potential engine damage if not replaced at recommended intervals.

Fuel injector problems

Clogged or leaking fuel injectors can cause poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.

Valve cover gasket leaks

The V-shaped engine configuration can lead to valve cover gasket leaks, which can cause oil to seep into the spark plug wells.

Catalytic converter failure

Over time, the catalytic converter can become clogged or fail, leading to reduced engine performance and increased emissions.

Crankshaft and camshaft position sensor failures

These sensors can fail and cause the engine to run poorly or not start at all.
