The 2JZ-GE engine is known to overheat if the cooling system is not properly maintained. This can be due to a faulty radiator, water pump, or thermostat.

Older engines like the 2JZ-GE can develop oil leaks, often from the valve cover gaskets or oil pan gaskets, which can lead to low oil levels and engine damage if not addressed.

The ignition coils in the 2JZ-GE can fail over time, leading to misfires, rough idling, and poor engine performance.

The 2JZ-GE uses a timing belt that needs to be replaced at regular intervals. Failure to replace the timing belt can result in it breaking and causing severe engine damage.

The engine’s vacuum lines can become brittle and crack over time, leading to vacuum leaks that result in poor engine performance and fuel economy.

Sensors such as the oxygen sensor, mass air flow sensor, and crankshaft position sensor can fail, causing the engine to run poorly or not start at all.

With age and high mileage, the head gasket can fail, leading to coolant leaks, oil contamination, and overheating issues.

The 2JZ-GE engine, like many older engines, can develop oil leaks over time, often from the valve cover gasket, oil pan, or front/rear main seals.

This can include rough idling or stalling, often due to a dirty or failing idle air control valve or throttle body issues.

The 2JZ-GE uses a timing belt which can wear out or break if not replaced at recommended intervals, leading to potential engine damage.

Issues such as radiator leaks or failing water pumps are common, which can lead to overheating if not addressed.

Older engines like the 2JZ-GE can have issues with sensors such as the oxygen sensor, mass airflow sensor, or crankshaft position sensor failing over time.

Common in higher mileage engines, leading to oil seepage.

Can cause misfires or poor engine performance, requiring replacement.

Clogged or failing fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance and fuel economy.

The 1GR-FE engine in the 2003 Toyota 4-Runner is known for developing oil leaks, particularly from the valve cover gaskets and the front timing cover.

As the vehicle ages, the head gasket may fail, leading to coolant leaks and potential engine overheating.

The timing chain tensioner and guides can wear out over time, causing noise and potential misalignment of the timing chain.

The fuel injectors may become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and misfires.

The MAF sensor can become dirty or fail, resulting in incorrect air-fuel mixture and poor engine performance.

Misfires and poor engine performance can occur due to worn spark plugs or failing ignition coils.

The exhaust manifold can develop cracks, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced engine performance.

Radiator, hoses, and water pump leaks can cause the engine to overheat if not addressed.

Carbon buildup in the throttle body can cause poor idling and reduced throttle response.

With age and high mileage, the head gasket can fail, leading to coolant leaks, oil contamination, and overheating issues.

High oil consumption can be an issue, often due to worn piston rings or valve seals.

Can occur due to overheating or poor maintenance, leading to coolant and oil mixing.

Commonly caused by worn camshaft or lifters, leading to ticking or knocking sounds.

Regular maintenance required to avoid timing belt failure, which can cause severe engine damage.

Clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance and misfires.

Issues such as radiator leaks or thermostat failure can lead to engine overheating.

Can cause engine starting issues or erratic behavior.

Dirty or faulty throttle body can lead to poor idling and throttle response.

Faulty ignition coils can cause misfires and poor engine performance.

A bad oxygen sensor can lead to incorrect air-fuel mixture, affecting fuel economy and emissions.
