Known Issues for This Vehicle

Oil leaks

Common in older engines due to worn-out gaskets or seals, especially around the camshaft or cylinder head.

Overheating

Possible due to a failing thermostat, clogged radiator, or worn-out water pump, particularly as the vehicle ages.

Rough idling

Often caused by issues with the fuel system, such as a dirty carburetor (1BBL), or ignition system faults like worn spark plugs.

Timing belt wear

Overhead camshaft engines rely on timing belts that can wear out over time, leading to potential engine damage if not replaced regularly.

Reduced power

Could be due to engine wear or issues with the camshaft or carburetor, affecting overall engine efficiency.

Exhaust smoke

Blue or black smoke might indicate oil burning or an overly rich fuel mixture, respectively, often due to worn engine components or carburetor issues.
