Most common problems:

Oil consumption issues

The Toyota 2GR-FE s/c engine is known to have higher oil consumption, which can lead to frequent oil top-ups and potential engine damage if not monitored.

Valve spring failures

In some cases, the valve springs in this engine have been known to fail, which can cause misfires, reduced performance, and potential engine damage.

Supercharger maintenance

The supercharged variant of the 2GR-FE engine requires regular maintenance of the supercharger unit itself, which can be costly and time-consuming.

Cooling system problems

This engine can suffer from cooling system issues, such as radiator leaks or thermostat failures, leading to overheating.

Fuel injector issues

Electronic MPI Sequential systems can sometimes develop problems with the fuel injectors, causing poor fuel economy and engine performance issues.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain can wear out or stretch, leading to poor engine timing and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Throttle body issues

The throttle body can become dirty or fail, leading to poor throttle response and potential stalling issues.

Camshaft timing oil control valve failures

Problems with the oil control valves can lead to issues with variable valve timing, affecting engine performance and efficiency.

Head gasket failures

Some users have reported head gasket issues, which can lead to coolant leaks and engine overheating if not repaired.
