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

Engine BBJ commonly faces issues like timing chain tensioner wear, leading to rattling noises and potential chain slack. 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 maintain proper lubrication. Another frequent problem is carbon buildup on intake valves, causing rough idling and reduced performance; using fuel system cleaners and ensuring proper air filtration helps prevent this.
