Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Common in older engines, oil leaks can develop around valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or the rear main seal.

Timing belt issues

The 3VZ-FE engine utilizes a timing belt, which needs regular replacement to avoid catastrophic engine damage if it fails.

Overheating

Due to age, components like the radiator, thermostat, or water pump might fail, leading to overheating issues.

Head gasket failure

The V-shaped 6-cylinder configuration can be prone to head gasket issues, especially in older vehicles.

Ignition system problems

Worn-out spark plugs, ignition wires, and distributor components can cause misfires and poor engine performance.

Vacuum leaks

Old vacuum hoses can crack and leak, leading to rough idling and poor engine performance.

Fuel system issues

Clogged fuel injectors or a failing fuel pump can cause poor fuel delivery and engine performance problems.

Carbon build-up

Over time, carbon deposits can accumulate on intake valves and combustion chambers, affecting engine efficiency and performance.
