Problems:

Oil leaks

The 2JZ-GE engine is known for developing oil leaks over time, particularly around the valve cover gasket and oil pan gasket.

Timing belt wear

The 2JZ-GE engine uses a timing belt that requires regular replacement. If neglected, a worn timing belt can break and cause severe engine damage.

Valve stem seal wear

The engine can develop issues with valve stem seals, leading to oil consumption and smoke from the exhaust.

Idle control valve failure

The idle control valve may fail, leading to irregular idling or stalling issues.

Cooling system problems

Issues with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat can cause the engine to overheat if not properly maintained.

Spark plug wear

Over time, spark plugs can wear out, leading to misfires, poor performance, and reduced fuel efficiency.

Fuel injector issues

Clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors can cause rough running, poor acceleration, and increased fuel consumption.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

Failure of this sensor can result in engine stalling or failure to start.

Intake manifold gasket leaks

The intake manifold gasket can deteriorate, causing vacuum leaks and rough engine performance.
