Problems:
Oil consumption
The 2JZ-GE engine can sometimes consume more oil than expected, often due to worn piston rings or valve stem seals.
Valve cover gasket leak
Over time, the valve cover gasket may deteriorate and start to leak oil, leading to oil pooling around the engine.
Ignition coil failure
The ignition coils on the 2JZ-GE may fail, causing misfires, poor engine performance, and rough idling.
Timing belt wear
The timing belt needs regular replacement to avoid catastrophic engine damage; if neglected, it can lead to timing belt failure.
Cooling system issues
The radiator and cooling system components can wear out, leading to overheating problems if not properly maintained.
Fuel injector problems
Fuel injectors may become clogged or fail, causing poor fuel economy and engine performance issues.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The exhaust manifold can develop cracks due to heat cycles, leading to exhaust leaks and increased noise.
Oxygen sensor failure
Faulty oxygen sensors can result in poor fuel economy and increased emissions, affecting overall engine performance.
Throttle body issues
The throttle body may become dirty or fail, leading to rough idling, stalling, and poor acceleration.
