Problems:

Blown head gasket
The 2JZ engine, though robust, can suffer from blown head gaskets, especially if it has been subjected to high boost pressures or overheating.
Oil leaks
Common around the valve cover gaskets, front main seal, and rear main seal, particularly as the engine ages.
Turbocharger wear
For the turbocharged variants, the turbochargers can wear out, leading to reduced performance and potential oil leaks.
Fuel injector issues
Over time, fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and fuel economy.
Timing belt wear
The 2JZ engine uses a timing belt, which needs regular replacement to prevent catastrophic engine damage.
Ignition coil failure
The ignition coils can fail, leading to misfires and rough engine performance.
Crankshaft pulley problems
The rubber damper in the crankshaft pulley can deteriorate, causing vibration issues and potential failure.
Cooling system problems
Radiators, water pumps, and thermostats can fail, leading to overheating if not properly maintained.
Camshaft position sensor failure
Failure of this sensor can lead to poor engine performance and starting issues.
Vacuum leaks
Vacuum hoses can become brittle and crack over time, leading to various performance issues and engine codes.

Problems:

Oil leaks
The 2JZ-GE engine is known for potential oil leaks, often from the valve cover gaskets or oil pan gasket.
Head gasket failure
Over time, the head gasket can fail, leading to coolant leaks or engine overheating.
Timing belt wear
The timing belt requires regular maintenance and replacement; failure to do so can result in severe engine damage.
Valve stem seal wear
The valve stem seals can wear out, causing oil to leak into the combustion chamber and resulting in blue smoke from the exhaust.
Idle control valve issues
Problems with the idle control valve can cause rough idling or stalling.
Fuel injector problems
Fuel injectors may become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance or misfires.
Cooling system failures
Radiator or water pump failures can lead to engine overheating.
Ignition coil failure
The ignition coils may fail over time, causing misfires or poor engine performance.

Problems:

Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, calipers, or wheel cylinders, leading to reduced braking efficiency.
Brake fade
Overheating of the brake fluid or brake components can cause a temporary loss of braking power, especially after repeated or prolonged braking.
Brake pedal issues
Problems such as a spongy or hard brake pedal can be indicative of air in the brake lines or a failing brake booster.
Electrical issues with electronic fuel injection
Problems with sensors or the electronic control unit (ECU) can lead to poor engine performance or starting issues.
Fuel injector problems
Dirty or faulty fuel injectors can cause misfires, rough idling, or poor fuel economy.
Head gasket failure
Inline-six engines like the 1FZ can be prone to head gasket issues, leading to coolant leaks, overheating, or oil contamination.
Timing chain or belt wear
Over time, the timing chain or belt may stretch or wear out, potentially causing timing issues and engine performance problems.
Valve train wear
In high-mileage engines, components in the valve train such as lifters, camshaft, and valves can wear out, leading to noise and performance issues.
Overheating
The cooling system, including the radiator, water pump, and thermostat, may develop issues leading to engine overheating.
Oil leaks
Older engines can develop oil leaks from gaskets, seals, or the oil pan, leading to reduced oil levels and potential engine damage.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The inline-six configuration can place stress on the exhaust manifold, leading to potential cracks and exhaust leaks.
Carbon buildup
Over time, carbon deposits can build up on intake valves, pistons, and other engine components, affecting performance and efficiency.
