Mk1 1999 T Rav 4,

There is constant spark from all plugs,

Engine does spin any faster than norm,

Can smell fuel in bay and tried with easy start!

Full charge on Battery,

Imobaliser disconnected ,

[Liftmeup]

[Liftmeup]

Fuel delivery problem......lol!!

Sorry Cant help you anymore, not clued up with 4.1s.........fuel pump? Elastic bands?

[Liftmeup]

ok all, so same issue as what happend a year ago, cure: big Battery jump pack (fully charged) can of easy start (new can) too many school runs not enough long runs!!!

Have you considered disconnecting the fuel feed pipe under the bonnet,placing it in a container and switching on the ignition to see if fuel is getting that far?

If not I can't see any point in banging in easy start if not.

I think I would be really desperate to use that stuff in a petrol engine.

Easy start is for petrol engines! the car is fine now, I could hear the pump was working by lifting the rear seat. just needed a big push from a powerful Battery and a open unrestricted air intake by removing the air box and with the help of easy start. :-)

I've heard this happen to other Rav's of the same age so hope this helps the Rav massive.

Glad to hear are up and running,Adam,and good of you to post the result.

I have only used ES on commercial oil burning lumps and when they did start they sounded as if the head was about to blow off!!Mind you I was usually as frozen as the fuel and all I wanted to do was get the :censor: things started and get myself off somewhere warmer.

Thats why I said I would not fancy using in the RAV.
