2000 Toyota RAV4 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Check your fuel pressure at the Schrader valve (test port) on the engine's fuel rail. Just hook up a fuel pressure gauge and turn the key to on. If below specs, either your pump is weak and failing or your fuel filter is clogged. I believe Autozone (and others) have a loan-a-tool policy. You pay a deposit and get the gauge, and when you return the tool you get your deposit back.

Hi It sounds to me like a minor Issue rather than a major one try changing the Transmission Oil and if its got one also the Panel filter that is located in the bottom of the gearbox once the sump cover has been taken off depending on what Vehicle it is. Hope this helps Regards NIck

If it spins over fast like there is no resistance at all then you have a bigger issue. Could be dropped valve, timing, warped head, etc. The amount of compressioninside the cylinder will not allow it to spin over freely and fast.

Rediator fan should turn on when the temperature sensor goes overs certain value. Probably when you are using a heater, outside temperature is quiet low and air cooling helps to keeps water temperature lower then the minimum to turn the fan one. Now , this is just a guess! To se sure, turn on your car parked and check the temperature. If goes over the value where fan should turn on, you've got a problem with the termostat or the relay.By the way, why do you repeat your question? To the same question you'll get the same ansewer. If you don't get an answer or you feel it is not the best answer you expect, you can repeat you question later and maybe it will be answered by someone else.

Your washer system could be low on water, the pump that pumps water to the rear sprayer could be bad or the connector could be loose, the hose to the rear sprayer could be busted or the rear head could be clogged.
There can be many things affecting your sprayer... goodluck!

seems something wrong with the Electronic throttle control (ETC) which is an automobile technology that electronically "connects" the accelerator pedal to the throttle, replacing a mechanical linkage There is no mechanical linkage between the accelerator pedal and the throttle valve with electronic throttle control. Instead, the position of the throttle valve (i.e., the amount of air in the engine) is fully controlled by the ETC software via the electric motor. - you better have the ETC immediately serviced by an approved Toyota-shop Electronic throttle control Electronic Throttle Control

so if battery is charged to 12.6vdc rested you do have blown fuse(s) so why not buy a 10 buck voltmeter and find it. KEYON we measure both sides of fuse (to ground) for 12vdc. 0v is blown fuse. easy huh< fuses that look good can be in fact bad. use a meter and win. every time.
