Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The 5VZ-FE engine in the 2001 Toyota 4-Runner is known for developing oil leaks, particularly from the valve cover gaskets and oil pan.

Head gasket failure

This engine can experience head gasket issues over time, which can lead to coolant leaks and overheating problems.

Timing belt wear

The 5VZ-FE engine uses a timing belt, which requires regular replacement. Failure to do so can result in severe engine damage if the belt breaks.

Fuel injector problems

Fuel injectors on this model can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.

Ignition coil failure

Ignition coils on the 5VZ-FE engine can fail, causing misfires and rough engine operation.

Crankshaft pulley issues

The crankshaft pulley can sometimes develop wobbling or noise issues, which can lead to belt damage and engine performance problems.

Exhaust manifold cracks

The exhaust manifold on the 5VZ-FE engine is prone to cracking, which can cause exhaust leaks and increased engine noise.

Throttle body build-up

Over time, carbon deposits can build up in the throttle body, leading to poor throttle response and idle instability.
