Most common problems:

Oil consumption

The 1ZZ-FE engine is known to consume oil due to piston ring design, which can lead to low oil levels and potential engine damage if not monitored.

Valve cover gasket leaks

Over time, the valve cover gasket can degrade and cause oil leaks, leading to engine bay contamination and potential fire hazards.

Timing chain noise

The timing chain and its components can wear out, leading to rattling noises and potential timing issues if not addressed.

Pcv valve issues

A faulty Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve can cause poor engine performance, oil leaks, and increased emissions.

Head gasket failure

While less common, head gasket failures can occur, leading to coolant and oil mixing, overheating, and severe engine damage.

Ignition coil problems

The ignition coils can fail, causing misfires, rough idling, and poor acceleration.

Throttle body issues

Carbon buildup in the throttle body can lead to poor throttle response and engine stalling.
