Problems:
Oil leaks
The 2JZ-GE engine is known for developing oil leaks, particularly around the valve cover gasket and camshaft seals.
Head gasket failure
Over time, the head gasket can fail, leading to coolant leaks and potential overheating issues.
Timing belt wear
The timing belt in the 2JZ-GE needs regular replacement (every 60,000 to 90,000 miles) to prevent it from snapping and causing severe engine damage.
Vvt-i issues
For models equipped with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), issues can arise with the VVT-i solenoid or actuator, affecting engine performance.
Fuel injector problems
Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.
Ignition coil failure
The ignition coils can wear out over time, causing misfires and rough engine running.
Overheating
Issues with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat can cause the engine to overheat.
Piston ring wear
High mileage engines may experience piston ring wear, leading to increased oil consumption and reduced compression.
Throttle body issues
Carbon buildup in the throttle body can cause hesitation and irregular idling.
Crankshaft position sensor failure
A failing sensor can lead to engine stalling or difficulty starting.
