Trouble Spots
Consumer Guide's® Auto Editors have scoured repair bulletins and questioned mechanics to search
for commonly occurring problems for a particular vehicle. In some cases we also give possible manufacturer-suggested
solutions. In many instances these trouble spots are Technical Service Bulletins posted by the manufacturer,
however, we have our own expert looking at additional vehicle problems.
Engine misfire:
Fuel-injector seals may leak causing an electrical problem resulting in an engine miss. (1993)
Engine misfire:
Using a replacement distributor cap can cause high idle with erroneous trouble codes blaming the crankshaft sensor and/or distributor. (1992-95)
Engine temperature:
Overheating may be due to plastic water-pump impeller coming loose or breaking. (1992)
Oil leak:
A crack in the oil gallery in the 3.0-liter cylinder head allows oil to seep into the coolant. (1992-95)
