DISADVANTAGES, FAILURES AND PROBLEMS OF TOYOTA 1MZ-FE

  • On long runs, he often begins to increase oil consumption.
  • The reliability of the knock sensors is rather low, they often have to be replaced.
  • Engine speed floats due to throttle valve contamination
  • Strongly triples the motor in case of failure of the VVT-i phase regulator valve
  • This power unit is very afraid of overheating, you must not let it boil
  • Drivers periodically complain about the refusal to start in severe frost
  • The motor is prone to increased carbon formation, especially in the manifolds

The need for overhaul of the engine is determined by the following criteria:

GROUP I 

the most common option (on LEXUS cars of the European market, it is accompanied by blinking or periodic flashes of the indicator (red) of the oil level in the engine, on cars of the American market this indicator is not present)

 

1. Increased oil consumption (more than 300 grams) with a mileage of 1000 km

Occurs due to the occurrence of piston rings, wear and ellipse in the engine cylinders, which leads to increased oil consumption. Topping up and controlling the oil level can be driven for a relatively long time.

 

2. Knocking on the running engine in the area of the engine block

Occurs due to wear of the connecting rod or main bearings of the crankshaft journals. It is dangerous to operate the car, as it can lead to engine seizure or connecting rod breakage and damage to the cylinder block.

 

3. Ingress of coolant into engine oil

Occurs due to damage to the gaskets of the block heads or skewing of the surface of the block heads as a result of partial overheating of the engine. It is dangerous to operate the vehicle as it can overheat the engine.

II group

1. Engine jammed

The reason: oil starvation, wear of the bearings of the crankshaft journals and overheating of the engine. Vehicle operation is not possible.

 

2. Rupture of one of the connecting rods and, accordingly, damage to the cylinder block.

The reason: oil starvation, wear of the bearings of the crankshaft journals and overheating of the engine. Vehicle operation is not possible.

 

In case of damage in group 1, as a rule, there is no need to change the crankshaft, connecting rods and pistons, in case of damage in group 2, it is imperative to change the crankshaft, damaged connecting rods and pistons. In both groups, the block may require a liner, depending on the ellipticity of each cylinder, not counting the options for block damage when the connecting rod breaks.

Below we described and photographed the repair process and made a detailed map of the use of spare parts and their cost.

Determination of the exact number of necessary spare parts and work performed can be determined after complete disassembly and troubleshooting of the engine.
