1. Fuel System Issues:
- Clogged fuel filter: Restricts fuel flow to the engine.
- Faulty fuel pump: Insufficient fuel pressure.
- Leaking fuel injector: Causes loss of fuel pressure.
2. Ignition System Issues:
- Faulty spark plugs: Worn-out or damaged plugs can cause intermittent misfires.
- Failing ignition coil: Weak or no spark delivery.
- Bad ignition wires: Intermittent connection issues.
3. Air Intake System Problems:
- Blocked air filter: Restricts airflow to the engine.
- Faulty mass airflow sensor (MAF): Provides incorrect air/fuel ratio data to the engine computer.
4. Vacuum Leaks:
- Cracks or breaks in vacuum hoses: Interrupts proper vacuum pressure, affecting engine performance.
5. Electrical System Faults:
- Bad battery connections: Loose or corroded terminals disrupt electrical supply.
- Failing alternator: Inability to recharge the battery, leading to power loss.
6. Engine Temperature Sensor:
- Malfunctioning sensor gives incorrect temperature readings, leading to incorrect fuel mixtures.
Additional Information:
- The specific symptoms and their duration may vary depending on the underlying cause.
- If the issue persists or you have concerns about diagnosing and fixing the problem, don't hesitate to consult a certified mechanic for further assistance.
