- The main culprit of floating engine speeds is air leakage in the intake;
- The main reason for the rapid formation of carbon deposits is the failure of the crankcase ventilation;
- Ignition coils with built-in switches have a low resource;
- The weak points of the motor include: coolant temperature sensor, N75 valve and secondary air system.
