Rav 4 Distributor

[rosco24]

I live in Spain and I am restoring a 1994 Rav 4, 3 door.

I need a distributor, but can't find a RAV in the breakers here. Does anyone know if there is another model of Toyota that uses the same engine / distributor?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

According to Wikipedia the 1994-2000 Rav4 used the 3S-FE/3S-GE engine from the Celica of the same era.

Thanks Mike, I will see if there are any Celicas in the yards here.

A word of caution make sure if you buy from a celica or even a carina with the 2 litre petrol 3sfe engine that it only as 4 leads a lot of models had a coil which was not part of the dizzy I have changed about 6 dizzys on rav4's and been caught out from breakers, I think some old tercels had the same engine but again check it's only got four leads and not five....the old 2 litre ex carina definately had the 3fse engine and I have seen models with coils and some without

Thanks, I will take the old one with me to compare.

I also believe the very first Avensis with the 2 litre engine will fit......
