20 Most Recent 1998 Toyota RAV4 - Page 2 Questions & Answers

If you look at the drivers side of the brake fluid reservoir you should see a rubber hose that feeds to the clutch master cylinder. The clutch master cylinder is kept full via the brake fluid reservoir. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

They should open from the outside,that switch only locks out the inside handle

The tract or cables are broken. High dollar fix. Remove the fuse and forget about it. If it does engage and opens partially, you have water mess in the vehicle.

How long has the clutch been in the vehicle the do wear out and that can cause these kinds of problems

If it's hydraulic clutch, meaning there is a small oil reservoir in the engine compartment, then no as those clutches are self adjusting. Given the year of the vehicle, I do believe that it is hydraulic. What do you mean by the clutch is not shifting easily, is the pedal stiff or is the clutch not engaging smoothly?

Under the hood

Hi. The Rav is all time 4x4 it cannot be changed.

No Start Diagnostic Basics EricTheCarGuy

ok you can try cleaning it up and if that dont work replace it and what you could do too is check your fuel pressure and i would replace the coolant temp/sensor as well that may be your problem

ok if you can do it yourself remove the door panel and take a look at whats happening in the door by hooking back up the window switch and press up or down and try see what the problem is then put the glass in a position to remove the two ten millimeter screws,you may have to change the regulator,if not put the glass back in the track and check to see if it works properly,what you can do to is put some cup grease if you dont have cup grease you can use hair grease so it slides up and down freely ok

many things could cause that first you have to check accelerator cable.second the fuel goes through the filter easily(fuel pump) ,plugs,.And is the car coil system and throttle sensor .

No, the computer has its own backup battery, you shouldn't have to reset it when the car battery is disconnected.

after market remote start system. why not ask the guy that installed it how to fix it. after all the dealer can't its not stock now, and risky.(liabilities.etc.) read the book on the remote custom box? and the diagnosis section yet? if lost download it and read it first. for me to fix it ( yes i can) id need to be hands on. with my meter at the book. Take it to any ASE shop and ask them if they will try. some wont for obvious reasons. (hacked cars)

Excessive pressure build up in the fuel tank will contribute to poor gas mileage.

Look for cracked vacuum hoses or one that may have become disconnected. If everything checks out, then check the automatic idle module.

To get home now you will have to tow it! If the key is from another vehicle then it will need to be reprogrammed for you vehicle, the transponder is an immobiliser to cut the ignition and is set for a particular vehicle! Take to a main dealer or specialist who can reprogram keys!

when its cold remove top and bottom hoses and the bolts that hold it in and also the tranny hoses if it has an auto in it

The ECT button (which stands for "Electronically Controlled Transmission")
changes the shift points for the automatic transmission. When engaged,
the transmission shifts later, allowing the engine to get to a higher
power level and accelerate faster. Gas mileage is usually reduced in
this mode. Use it when you need to get up to speed faster; for example,
to merge into fast moving traffic. The normal position for this switch
is OFF. ECT acts like a turbo. Now dont go on street racing ;)

Each system is bad. The windows need regulators(they come with motors) the radio probably died(check fuse). And the mirror switch is bad(Since you still have power to the drivers window).
