Engine Overview and Common Failures

The unit is afraid of overheating, so keep an eye on the condition of the radiator and water pump. The throttle valve gets clogged with poor fuel, causing the fuel pump to fail. The main cause of this engine's misfire is the cracking of ignition coils. Saving on oil often leads to rapid wear of camshaft inserts. The exhaust manifold bolts can loosen by themselves and then they will be lost.
