- Engine misfires or stalling, especially at low RPM
- Unusual engine noises such as knocking or ticking
- Check engine light illumination

Diagnosis:
- Inspect ignition system components including spark plugs, ignition coils, and wiring for wear or damage
- Check fuel delivery system: fuel filter clogging or weak fuel pump pressure
- Examine air intake system for leaks or clogged air filter affecting air-fuel mixture
- Test engine sensors such as the oxygen sensor and coolant temperature sensor for proper operation
- Perform compression test to assess cylinder health and valve sealing
- Check timing belt condition and tension as wear can cause timing issues

Fixes:
- Replace worn or fouled spark plugs and faulty ignition components
- Clean or replace clogged fuel filters and ensure fuel pump delivers correct pressure
- Replace dirty air filter and repair any intake leaks to restore proper airflow
- Replace malfunctioning sensors to ensure accurate engine management
- Repair or replace timing belt if signs of wear or damage are found to prevent timing failure
- Address any mechanical issues found during compression testing, such as valve or piston ring wear
- Regularly service engine oil and coolant to maintain lubrication and cooling efficiency

Prevention:
- Follow manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule for ignition, fuel, and air systems
- Use quality fuel and engine oil to reduce deposits and wear
- Replace timing belt at specified intervals to avoid catastrophic engine damage
- Regularly inspect and replace filters to maintain clean air and fuel flow
