Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the AMX engine.

Engine AMX commonly faces issues like timing chain tensioner wear, leading to rattling noises and potential timing misalignment. Diagnosis involves listening for unusual engine sounds and checking for fault codes related to camshaft timing. Prevention includes regular oil changes with high-quality oil to ensure proper tensioner lubrication. Another frequent problem is carbon buildup on intake valves, causing rough idling and reduced performance; using fuel system cleaners and periodic intake cleaning helps. Cooling system leaks and thermostat failures can cause overheating; inspect hoses and coolant levels regularly. Addressing these promptly with genuine parts and professional service ensures engine longevity and reliability.
