Timing belt failure
As the 1MZ-FE engine uses a timing belt, it is prone to failure if not replaced at recommended intervals, potentially causing severe engine damage.
Valve cover gasket leaks
This engine often experiences leaks from the valve cover gasket, leading to oil loss and potential engine damage if the oil level drops too low.
Oxygen sensor failure
The oxygen sensors in this engine can fail, leading to poor fuel economy and increased emissions.
Coolant leaks
The 1MZ-FE engine can develop coolant leaks, often from the water pump or radiator, which can cause overheating if not repaired.
