Problems:
Oil leaks
Common issue with the 2GR-FE engine, often due to worn valve cover gaskets or camshaft seals.
Coolant leaks
The water pump on the 2GR-FE engine is known to develop leaks over time, causing coolant loss.
Timing chain tensioner failure
The timing chain tensioner can wear out or fail, leading to potential engine timing issues.
Carbon buildup
Direct injection engines like the 2GR-FE can suffer from carbon buildup on intake valves, affecting performance.
Oxygen sensor failure
Faulty oxygen sensors can lead to incorrect air-fuel mixture readings, causing poor fuel economy and performance.
Ignition coil failure
The ignition coils on the 2GR-FE engine are prone to failure, causing misfires and rough idling.
Fuel injector problems
Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and misfires.
Excessive oil consumption
Some 2GR-FE engines are known to consume oil excessively due to piston ring wear or valve guide issues.
Throttle body issues
The electronic throttle body can malfunction, leading to erratic idling or throttle response problems.
Engine mounts wear
The engine mounts may wear out or break, causing excessive engine vibration and noise.
