Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The 2UZ-FE engine is known for developing oil leaks, especially around the valve cover gaskets and the oil pan, which can lead to lower oil levels and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Timing belt wear

The 2UZ-FE engine uses a timing belt that needs regular replacement. If the timing belt breaks, it can cause significant engine damage.

Coolant leaks

This engine can develop coolant leaks from the water pump or radiator, leading to overheating issues.

Faulty oxygen sensors

Over time, the oxygen sensors can fail, leading to poor fuel economy and increased emissions.

Carbon build-up

The 2UZ-FE engine can suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves and throttle body, which can affect performance and fuel efficiency.

Misfires

Ignition coil or spark plug issues can cause engine misfires, resulting in rough running and decreased performance.

Fuel injector problems

Clogged or faulty fuel injectors can lead to uneven fuel distribution, causing poor engine performance and increased fuel consumption.

Mass air flow (maf) sensor failure

A faulty MAF sensor can cause incorrect air-fuel mixture readings, leading to performance issues and poor fuel economy.
