Problems:
Turbocharger failure
The 2JZ-GTE engine is equipped with a twin-turbo setup, and over time, the turbos can wear out or fail, leading to reduced engine performance and increased exhaust smoke.
Head gasket issues
Due to the high-performance nature of the engine, especially when modified, head gasket failures can occur, leading to coolant leaks and overheating problems.
Oil leaks
Common oil leak points on the 2JZ-GTE include the valve cover gasket, front main seal, and rear main seal, which can lead to oil loss and potential engine damage if not addressed.
Ignition coil failure
The ignition coils on the 2JZ-GTE may fail over time, leading to misfires, rough idling, and reduced power output.
Fuel system problems
Issues with the fuel injectors or fuel pump can lead to poor fuel delivery, resulting in performance loss, stalling, or difficulty starting the engine.
Timing belt wear
The timing belt needs regular replacement to prevent it from snapping, which could cause significant engine damage due to the interference engine design.
