Known Issues for This Vehicle
Overheating
The 1UZ-FE engine, especially in older models, can have issues with overheating due to worn-out cooling system components such as the radiator, water pump, or thermostat.
Oil leaks
Common in V-shaped engines, oil leaks can develop around the valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, and rear main seal over time.
Timing belt failure
The 1UZ-FE engine uses a timing belt that requires periodic replacement. Failure to replace the timing belt can lead to catastrophic engine damage.
Ignition coil failure
The ignition coils on the 1UZ-FE can fail over time, causing misfires, rough idling, and poor fuel economy.
Fuel injector problems
Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and increased fuel consumption.
Sensor failures
Components such as the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor and Oxygen (O2) sensors can fail, leading to poor engine performance and increased emissions.
Carbon build-up
Over time, carbon deposits can build up on the intake valves and combustion chambers, leading to reduced performance and fuel efficiency.
Vacuum leaks
Vacuum leaks can occur in the intake manifold gaskets, hoses, and other components, causing rough idling and poor engine performance.
