Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The 2UZ-FE engine is known for oil leaks, often from the valve cover gaskets or the front crankshaft seal.

Timing belt wear

The 2UZ-FE engine uses a timing belt, which can wear out and require replacement typically around every 90,000 miles to prevent engine damage.

Fuel injector issues

Fuel injectors may become clogged or malfunction, leading to rough idling or poor fuel economy.

Throttle body problems

Carbon buildup in the throttle body can cause erratic idling and throttle response issues.

Cooling system problems

Radiator or water pump failures can occur, leading to overheating if not addressed promptly.

Spark plug wear

Over time, spark plugs can wear out, resulting in misfires, decreased performance, and poor fuel efficiency.

Mass air flow sensor failure

The MAF sensor can fail, causing engine performance issues and triggering the check engine light.

Exhaust manifold cracks

The exhaust manifolds on the 2UZ-FE engine can develop cracks, leading to exhaust leaks and increased engine noise.

Oxygen sensor failure

Oxygen sensors can wear out, leading to incorrect fuel mixture and reduced engine efficiency.
