It was a programming issue when ever you remove the battery and reinstall it you have to close the driver door and get the steering wheel in steering lock position then start it and it will fire up ride a way

1997 Toyota RAV4 170000 miles
I own a vehicle year 1997 and know the fuel filter needs to be changed but my problem is I do not know where it is located. Can someone please inform me?

The fuel filter is located on the driver's side under the engine air filter's box. You will need to remove this box in order to work comfortably.

Same issue with my 13 Rav. This car runs and idles great except for sluggish acceleration, has no codes but I have found something in my Scantool that points me in the direction to diagnose this. I graphed the vvt aim and vvt change and they are locked at 0 with no movement in all driving conditions. So now I'm wondering what would make the ECM want to disable the variable valve timing.
So yesterday I was trying to access the crankshaft position sensor from the ECM and I didn't know how to remove the plastic shell covering the wires and pins, so I tried to catch an in cylinder pressure waveform with the pressure transducer, the coil trigger, and both Cam sensors, but my pressure transducer was acting up and I couldn't get a good look at it, but I am suspecting chain stretch causing this no code issue and bad fuel economy.

When the car starts and in slow mode, it sounds like it is missing a beat, having changed the spark plugs and serviced the fuel injector and replaced the fuel pump the problem continues

CommentVibrating problems
2006 Toyota RAV4 105000 miles
It has occurred to me that, when driving in hot places and along an uphill uneven road, the car won't go over 50 mph and the engine starts vibrating as if were about to stall. In two opportunities, my Rav did not move any more but the engine kept working. After waiting for 20 minutes, I started driving normally, but still with the problem appearing on uphill roads. After changing the fuel pump, the vibrating of the engine disappeared but the speed still won't go over 50 mph when ascending. Something new now is that, when the car is stopped, it sometimes shakes as if it wanted to stall. I personally believe it has something to do with the fuel system.

I had a similar problem with an Ibiza 2009 and the problem was solved by changing the ignition coil. You should check how your vehicle's ingnition solenoid is.

Restarting twice
2006 Toyota RAV4 automatic 198000 miles
The vehicle does not start immediately and requires a minimum of two attempts before the engine successfully starts. This repeated starting process results in higher fuel consumption and could indicate an underlying mechanical or fuel system problem.
