This Common Toyota V6 Problem is Often Misdiagnosed! Here's How to Check it

A Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician talks about a Common Toyota V6 problem that’s often misdiagnosed into a large and expensive repair when it shouldn’t be.

In This video we talk about a common Toyota and Lexus 2GR-FE V6 3.5L engine problem that can sound scary but it’s actually not a big deal at all.

If you ever have timing codes in your 2GR-FE but the engine runs perfectly fine, this could apply to you. Oil Control Valves are very common to stick on this engine and cause the scary timing codes.

My 2001 Sienna auto transmission jumps out of gear & back in sometimes radically. I had the fluid flushed & filter replaced, no change. What could it be???????

AMD, I really appreciate all the honest advice that you share with us routinely. Please keep up the great work.

As far as my association with Toyota, I have been a loyal customer since 1972 with my first new Toyota being a 1972 Corolla which I paid a whopping $2500.00 for. Since then I’ve owned 18 more models which include every model except Tacoma and Celica.

I am originally from New Hampshire. Been married to my wonderful wife for almost 52 years. Proud father of two sons and grandfather to 10 grandchildren. Retired from the Navy after serving 22 years and retired from the Postal Service after 21 years.

Hello. Since you live in Chicago do you mind if I can bring my 2002 toyota sequoia to you? I just bought me a toyota for the very first time last Saturday.

also the blend door not moving correctly could be something in the heater box keeping it from moving like pens falling down the defroster vent or a mouse nest in the heater box?

As a 30 year plus technician. You hit everything on the spot. Info is very useful. It's nice to see a,factory specific tech, start his own shop. I like the honesty that is presented. This guy knows his stuff.

Jeff Sonsmith says:

Hi AMD, nice videos. I have an oil related question. I have a 2012 Toyota Tundra with the 4.6L V-8. It is currently an extra vehicle which only gets driven about 2,000 miles (if that) per year. We purchased it new in 2012, and currently has just over 64,000 miles. I have been changing the oil on a yearly basis, because it never gets to the 4500-5000 mile interval. Should I go with a six month interval instead of yearly?
