- Perform a compression test to assess cylinder health
- Examine the timing belt for wear or incorrect tension
- Inspect the cooling system for leaks or malfunctioning thermostat
- Check for clogged fuel injectors or fuel filter issues

Fixes:
- Replace worn spark plugs, ignition wires, or distributor cap and rotor as needed
- Repair or replace vacuum hoses to eliminate leaks
- Replace timing belt and tensioner if worn or overdue
- Clean or replace fuel injectors and fuel filter to restore fuel flow
- Repair coolant leaks, replace thermostat, and flush cooling system to prevent overheating
- Address oil leaks by replacing gaskets or seals; change oil regularly
- If compression is low, consider valve adjustments or engine rebuild depending on severity

Prevention:
- Follow regular maintenance schedule including timely oil and filter changes
- Replace timing belt every 60,000 to 90,000 km to avoid catastrophic failure
- Use quality spark plugs and ignition components to maintain efficient combustion
- Regularly inspect and replace worn vacuum hoses and coolant hoses
