Known Issues

Head Gaskets:

A common concern in EJ series engines, particularly the EJ25. Symptoms include coolant leaks (internal or external), overheating, and white smoke from the exhaust. The 1996-1999 EJ25 (Phase 1) are more prone than earlier EJ22 or later EJ25 (Phase 2).

Oil Leaks:

Can occur from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, and rear main seals, especially with higher mileage.

Idling Issues:

Can be caused by vacuum leaks, dirty idle air control (IAC) valve, or faulty oxygen sensors.

AWD System Wear:

Wear in CV joints, driveshaft U-joints, and differential mounts can lead to clunks or vibrations, especially during acceleration or turns.
