Starting issue with my RAV4.
I have a 2009 rav 4. I live in a warm climate but I find when I start the vehicle most times it takes about 40 seconds before moving off.
Our answer:
Hi Gregory,
The 2.0-litre petrol model of that year had an issue with a blocked fuel filter in the tank. The tank must be removed to replace the filter unfortunately.
