Problems:

Oil leaks

The 2JZ-GE engine is known for developing oil leaks, particularly around the valve cover gaskets and the front main seal.

Ignition coil failures

The ignition coils in the 2JZ-GE can fail over time, leading to misfires and poor engine performance.

Timing belt wear

Being a 4-stroke engine, the 2JZ-GE requires periodic timing belt replacements. If neglected, the belt can wear out and potentially cause engine damage.

Overheating

Cooling system issues, such as a failing water pump or a clogged radiator, can lead to engine overheating in the 2JZ-GE.

Vacuum leaks

Vacuum hoses and intake manifold gaskets can deteriorate over time, causing vacuum leaks and rough idling.

Mass air flow sensor malfunction

The MAF sensor can get dirty or fail, leading to incorrect air-fuel mixture and poor engine performance.

Pcv valve issues

A clogged or faulty PCV valve can cause excessive oil consumption and engine sludge buildup.

Fuel injector problems

Fuel injectors can become clogged or leak, resulting in poor fuel economy and engine misfires.

Oxygen sensor failure

Faulty oxygen sensors can cause incorrect fuel mixture readings, leading to poor fuel economy and emissions issues.

Spark plug wear

Worn or fouled spark plugs can cause misfires, rough idling, and poor acceleration.
