Problems:

Oil leaks
The 2UZ-FE engine in the 2002 Toyota Tundra is known for developing oil leaks, particularly from the valve cover gaskets and oil pan gaskets.
Timing belt wear
The 2UZ-FE engine uses a timing belt, which requires periodic replacement. If not replaced on schedule, the belt can wear out and potentially lead to severe engine damage.
Cooling system issues
Problems with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat can cause overheating, which can be detrimental to the engine's performance and longevity.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The exhaust manifolds on V-shaped engines like the 2UZ-FE can crack over time, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced engine efficiency.
Spark plug and coil failures
The 2UZ-FE engine can experience issues with spark plugs and ignition coils, leading to misfires and rough running conditions.
Carbon build-up
Over time, carbon deposits can build up in the intake manifold and on the intake valves, affecting engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Throttle body issues
The throttle body can become dirty or malfunction, leading to poor throttle response and erratic idling.
Fuel injector problems
Clogged or failing fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance, reduced fuel economy, and increased emissions.
Sensor failures
Various engine sensors, such as the mass air flow sensor, oxygen sensors, and camshaft position sensor, can fail, causing the engine to run poorly or trigger the check engine light.
