Engine Overview and Common Failures
The weight of the GA14DE engine according to the catalog is 145 kg. The GA14DE engine number is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. Filter clogging. Owners of carbureted engines should constantly monitor the cleanliness of various screens, filters, and jets that become clogged due to poor gasoline. To avoid frequent visits to the auto repair shop, it is better to learn how to clean the carburetor yourself. Fluctuating RPM. Versions with electronic injection can experience failures in the IAC valve (idle air control valve) and MAF sensor (mass airflow sensor). The main symptom is fluctuating idle speed. Oil consumption. The most common causes of oil consumption on high mileage are worn piston rings, hardened valve stem seals, or a deteriorated gasket that should prevent the entry of fuel and crankcase gases into the intake manifold. If their replacement did not lead to anything, be prepared for a quite expensive overhaul.
