Known Issues for This Vehicle

Engine oil leaks

The 1UZ-FE engine may develop oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets or the oil pan gasket, common in older engines due to gasket wear.

Timing belt wear

The timing belt on the 1UZ-FE needs regular replacement to prevent failure, which can lead to severe engine damage.

Ignition coil failure

Ignition coils in older 1UZ-FE engines can fail, leading to misfires and reduced engine performance.

Overheating

Cooling system components such as the radiator or water pump can fail, leading to overheating issues, especially in older vehicles.

Carbon buildup

The V-shaped configuration of the 1UZ-FE can lead to carbon buildup on the intake valves, affecting performance and fuel efficiency.

Vacuum leaks

Over time, vacuum hoses and connections can deteriorate, causing vacuum leaks that lead to rough idling or stalling.
