Most common problems:

Poor fuel economy

The Toyota 1GR-FE engine, despite being reliable, can sometimes have lower fuel efficiency compared to more modern engines.

Oil consumption

The 1GR-FE engine is known to sometimes consume more oil, which could require more frequent oil top-ups.

Timing chain noise

Over time, the timing chain can become noisy and may need to be checked or replaced.

Cooling system issues

Radiator and water pump issues can arise, leading to potential overheating problems.

Carbon buildup

Carbon buildup in the intake valves can lead to engine misfires and reduced performance.

Throttle body issues

The throttle body can get dirty, affecting the engine's performance and causing rough idling.

Sensor failures

Various sensors, such as the oxygen sensor or MAF sensor, may fail over time, leading to engine performance issues.
