Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The 2UZ-FE engine is known to develop oil leaks over time, particularly around the valve cover gaskets and oil pan gasket.

Timing belt wear

This engine uses a timing belt that needs regular replacement (usually every 90,000 miles) to prevent catastrophic engine damage.

Exhaust manifold cracks

The cast iron exhaust manifolds are prone to cracking, which can lead to exhaust leaks and reduced engine performance.

Ignition coil failure

The ignition coils on the 2UZ-FE engine can fail, leading to misfires and rough running conditions.

Cooling system issues

Over time, components like the radiator, water pump, and thermostat can fail, leading to overheating issues.

Throttle body problems

Carbon build-up in the throttle body can cause poor idling and throttle response problems.

Fuel injector issues

Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and increased fuel consumption.

Oxygen sensor failure

The oxygen sensors can fail, causing the engine to run inefficiently and potentially trigger the check engine light.
