Filter clogging is a common issue, especially for car owners with carbureted engines, due to the clogging of mesh filters and jets caused by poor quality fuel. It is necessary to learn how to clean the carburetor oneself, as it is currently difficult to find an auto mechanic willing to regularly undertake such laborious work. The engine speed fluctuates. On injector versions, the speed often fluctuates due to a faulty idle air control valve or mass airflow sensor. Sometimes cleaning helps, sometimes only replacement. This operation can also be done by oneself, but you need to exercise extreme caution to avoid accidentally damaging these expensive components. Oil consumption is the main problem of GA series engines. It occurs at high mileage due to the oil scraper rings sticking. If the moment is not missed, carbon deposit cleaning can suffice, if not, then only replacement. Sometimes excessive oil consumption is caused by a deteriorated gasket, which should not allow fuel and gases to enter the intake system together with crankcase gases according to the design.
