Problems:

Overheating

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.

Oil leaks

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.

Faulty ignition coils

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

Timing belt wear

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.

Vacuum leaks

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.

Sensor failures

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.

Head gasket failure

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