Hi, I'm helping a friend with her 2009 Rav 4 with the 3.5L engine. Currently the engine starts and sounds great but about 5 seconds later it shuts down. Fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator are brand new. Garage told her it's almost definitely the immobilizer box under the dash. And The Car Care Nut on youtube was talking about how a failing immobilzer acts, he said it will start and then shut down after it doesn't send the proper signal. So the garage does seem to have the right idea. So... 2009 Rav 4 3.5L starts and runs for about 5 seconds and then shuts down - garage said probably immobi ..read more

I had to fill my AC system last summer Florida season and the mechanic put in a dye to see where the actual leak is when next I came in.

Here is my question: How is the RAV 4 AC system set up to give warm air and cold air from these different vents until the system can send out cold air through both systems. Can I set something on...
