Anybody had any experience with these or other tires.
Thanks,
changing the transmission fluid?
And the timing belt?
Thank you.
My RAV4 2003 (100K miles) actually kicks out of gear on re-acceleration, for stoplights, and heavy stop and go traffic situations.
It revs up to about 2000 rpm before it engages when I accelerate to proceed.
The dealer told me that it was the “Internal Engine Control Module” CODES P0755 and PI760. To replace that module costs 1200 dollars.
My question is:
Can I get that module and install myself?
If yes, where I can get that part and the instructions to install it?
Any help is appreciated, because with the economic downturn of the economy is difficult to pocket out 1200 dollars and I would like to do it myself.

But otherwise it more sounds to me as if one of the line pressure control solenoids has/is failing. Disconnect the battery briefly in case an ECU "relearn" procedure will/might work.

I called one dealer, he told me the flow was from the bottom to the top. The other dealer told me the opposite.
A third dealer just told me the flow was from the bottom up. So there are two out of 3 votes in that direction. Looking at the filter, I can't see how it matters but who am I to tell.
Thanks for any help out there.
In recirculate a damper closes the outside inlet and opens an alternate cabin air inlet above the filter.
However, I concluded the flow is indeed down. I put my hand in the open space and turned on the fan. The air pull down as one writer expected it to be. Also, I could trace the tubing from the blower or whatever I am looking at and it goes to the vents on the dash thus confirming the flow. You really have to look at it to figure out what is going on. And once again, based on my looking at the filter and looking at it fit, I could have placed this either way and it doesn't matter, in my opinion.
At least next time, this will be easy.
Then goes off. Dealer checks tire pressure--OK. This happens two more times; on third occasion dealer adds air to spare tire and pressure light goes off. Three days later pressure light flickers and then stays on bright steady. Tire pressure is checked with two (2) gauges--OK. After three hours tire pressure light goes off. Start car two hours latter and light goes on and stays on for now. I will demand of dealer that he do more than just add air.
ANY OF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT?
BTW, the car was towed before, will that affect the air conditioner? :sick:
Thanks a lot!
Try and find a dealer who will understand what that is, and replace the compressor.
Towing wouldn't hurt the a/c, it's like saying that your radio wouldn't work because the car was towed, doesn't affect it.
Hope that helps you.
Just a bit sad that the car only has 2200 miles on it....
The noise could only be head when I turned on the air-conditioner. My vehicle does not have auto-climate control function....
Keep in mind that with FWD or F/awd when wheelspin/slip occurs due to the use of too much engine torque for conditions you have also lost, momentarily, directional control of the vehicle. That's why TC. Traction Control, is so quick acting and all encompassing on FWD or F/awd vehicle, traction MUST be regained quickly in order to reduce the potential for an accident due to loss of directional control.
So a fairly lightweight FWD RAV4 equipped with a V6 engine would tend to be substantially more dangerous than one with F/awd or even with the I4.
I *think* the RAVs are all 50-state compliant on emission standards, so I don't see why you could not buy one in another state. You have to work out sales taxes, though. Another solution would be to work with a dealer in finding one to be delivered in the future and swap it with one your dealer is scheduled to receive. I think this is pretty common. It might be difficult to find a dealer who is willing to do that, at least until you convince them you are not going to buy what they have on the lot.
Thanks for your help
Has anyone had this done and are there other opportunities I should know about to modify the programming while my car is "under the scan"?

Download this, print it out and present document to the dealer. There should be no argument then.
