Problems:

Oil leaks

The 1GR-FE engine is known to develop oil leaks, particularly from the timing cover and valve cover gaskets, which can lead to a messy engine bay and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Timing chain rattle

Over time, the timing chain tensioner can wear out, causing a rattling noise during startup. If left unchecked, this can lead to more severe engine damage.

Head gasket failure

Some owners report head gasket issues, which can cause engine overheating and coolant leaks.

Excessive oil consumption

Some 1GR-FE engines have been known to consume more oil than usual, requiring frequent top-ups and potentially indicating underlying issues.

Cracked exhaust manifold

The exhaust manifold can crack over time, leading to exhaust leaks and increased engine noise.

Sensor failures

Various sensors, including the oxygen sensor and mass airflow sensor, can fail and cause poor engine performance and fuel economy.

Throttle body issues

Build-up of carbon deposits in the throttle body can cause rough idling and poor acceleration. Regular cleaning is required to maintain performance.

Cooling system problems

Issues with the radiator and water pump can lead to overheating, which is detrimental to engine longevity.

2TR-FE

Engine Number of Cylinders

Problems:

Oil consumption

The 2TR-FE engine can sometimes have issues with higher than average oil consumption, which may require more frequent oil top-ups or changes.

Head gasket failure

Some owners of the 2TR-FE engine have reported issues with the head gasket, which can lead to coolant leaks and overheating.

Timing chain noise

Over time, the timing chain in the 2TR-FE engine can become noisy, indicating it may need adjustment or replacement.

Fuel injector problems

Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and reduced fuel economy.

Throttle body issues

The throttle body can sometimes become dirty or faulty, leading to rough idling and acceleration problems.

Ignition coil failure

The ignition coils in the 2TR-FE engine can occasionally fail, causing misfires and poor engine performance.

Vacuum leaks

Vacuum leaks can occur in the intake manifold or other components, leading to rough idling and engine performance issues.
