Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Over time, the seals and gaskets in the engine can wear out, leading to oil leaks which may damage engine components.

Misfiring cylinders

Ignition coil packs or spark plugs may fail, causing misfires in one or more cylinders, which leads to poor performance and increased emissions.

Cooling system issues

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

Timing chain problems

The timing chain can stretch or its tensioners may wear out, causing timing issues that can lead to poor engine performance or even engine failure.

Vacuum leaks

Aging hoses and connectors can develop leaks, leading to rough idling, stalling, or poor fuel economy.

Mass air flow sensor failure

The mass air flow sensor may get dirty or fail, resulting in incorrect air/fuel mixture and poor engine performance.

Throttle body issues

Carbon buildup can cause the throttle body to stick or become unresponsive, leading to erratic idling and poor throttle response.

Fuel injector problems

Clogged or failing fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and rough idling.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

This sensor can fail over time, causing the engine to stall or not start at all.
