Problems:

Oil leaks
Common in many engines due to worn gaskets, seals, or oil pans which can lead to decreased lubrication and potential engine damage.
Carbon buildup
Direct injection engines like the 4GR-FSE can experience carbon buildup on intake valves, causing rough idling and decreased performance.
Cooling system issues
Problems with the radiator or water pump can lead to overheating, which can cause severe engine damage.
Timing chain tensioner failure
Timing chain tensioners can wear out, leading to timing chain slack, engine misfires, or even engine damage.
Ignition coil failure
Ignition coils may fail over time, leading to misfires, rough running, and decreased performance.
Fuel injector problems
Direct fuel injectors can get clogged or fail, causing poor fuel economy, rough idling, and performance issues.
Pcv valve malfunction
A faulty Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve can cause rough idling, increased oil consumption, and engine sludge buildup.
Sensor failures
Sensors such as the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor or O2 (Oxygen) sensors can fail, leading to incorrect air-fuel mixture and poor engine performance.
Knocking or pinging
High compression engines like the 4GR-FSE can experience knocking or pinging, especially if low-quality fuel is used. This can lead to engine damage if not addressed.
