Cam Chain Tensioners:
Similar to the primary, the cam chain tensioners can wear. Regular inspection and potential replacement with upgraded components are advisable.
Exhaust Leaks:
Leaking exhaust gaskets can occur, leading to ticking noises. Proper tightening and gasket replacement are solutions.
Idle Air Control Motor:
Can sometimes cause rough idling or stalling issues in EFI systems.
Battery Drain:
Potential for parasitic draw if electrical accessories are not properly wired or if the charging system is weak.
