2009 RAV4 (actually a RAV2 since it’s front wheel drive) with the 2.5l
I’ll start at the beginning.
Car ran fine for a long time with 0 issues.
One day, it wouldn’t start, checked fuses and the starting fuse was blown wide open. Didn’t have a fuse or money for one at the time, and sacrificed my radio and horn fuse to put it into the starting position. Starts right up, but engine light’s on and she’s running rough. Scan said running rich, so when I got the money after a year or so to replace my MAF sensor and my bank 1 O2 sensor, light stayed on and ran lean since then.
I’ve replaced the o2 sensors and MAF sensor multiple times as well as putting a throttle body in. I’ve taken the air snorkel off the air box and throttle body to Saran Wrap it in case it was leaking extra air into the system. I’ve reset the lights multiple times with one of the best scanners Bridgestone money can buy. I’ve done the battery reset thing even. I can get the lights to stay off for a while, but it always comes back. The light typically comes on after it warms up/gas gets to about half a tank(?). It’s hard to pin down exactly what trips the light when it comes back on. I’m really hoping someone has experienced this themselves as well as what solved the issue. Thank you for taking the time to read the long story, but I figured the more info I can give the better.
Edit: short term fuel trim was around -6, long term was around 39. It’s always bank 1 that trips the light. Oh! And I also put a new fuse into the horn/radio slot, but the radio still doesn’t work or even light up (not at all the main concern though).
