Disadvantages of the FXJA/FXJB/FXJC engine
- This engine does not like bad fuel; spark plugs and coils often fail in it;
- For the same reason, the filter mesh in the tank quickly becomes clogged and the fuel pump breaks down;
- Previously scheduled 120,000 km may require replacement of the timing belt and its roller;
- Not the most reliable parts here also include the thermostat and engine mounts;
- Due to the lack of hydraulic lifters, valves need to be adjusted every 100,000 km.
