Toyota rav4 1996, 2.0l petrol

Ok ....there are two temperature sensors, one for the gage or light and other for the ECU, make sure you change the right one and try again.

disconect battirey for ten min then when you drive it try getting on freeway for ten miles min so computer came reset it self

There's a website that has all this information about all this and manuals everything totally free there are many actually but I personally like few like reliable-store .. let me know if u need help
thanks

why are you doing 65-80 in probably a 55 zone? slow down. if it is a small car which it probably is, it is not designed for highway speeds especially those

gdi engines are prone to this idling problem, you can try dissconecting the battery and reconnect after a few minutes and see if the ecu rectafies it or try petrol additive

I presume your car has a petrol engine. Check the spark plugs, their cables and distributer housing if cracked. Check also fuel lines and air filtering system. You may have a clogged fuel filter which is very common if you have never had this replaced.

HI,FIRST THING TO TRY IS A NEW PETROL FUEL FILTER,THEY GET MISSED WHEN CAR IS SERVICED,AS CAR IS 15 YEARS OLD ,IT HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN,THANKS.

DEFINETLY THE IGNITION MODULE, WHEN THE "CHIP" HEATS UP, IT OPENS CIRCUIT THUS ALL POWER TO THE PLUGS IS LOST DUE TO AN INOPERATIONAL COIL.

Hi PANEL BEATER,

Possible causes for misfires:

• Emission control System malfunctioning
• Timing belt installed wrong or incorrectly tensioned
• Malfunction in secondary ignition system ( check cap, rotor - pull and reseat)
• Injector problems
• Vacuum leaks - check hoses, listen for hissing

Get back to me with your findings. We can proceed from there.

I had the same problem. I removed the relays from the fusebox under the bonnet/hood (top left side) and then replaced them. All working OK now. Sometimes I have had a problem when I start the car (especially after rainy day) the petrol engine immediately dies and I can only drive in electric. I have found that if I turn the ignition off and then restart it and immediately pump the accelerator it makes the engine run OK. Hope this helps.
