·Kelly, or anyone who can help,
Having problems w/ cold starts. It happens maybe twice in a month... here's the scenario; in order for my Rav to turn over, I have to rev it up above 3K+ for a minute or two so it will hold and turn over, otherwise it dies. The dealer can't trouble shoot unless the problem happens at the dealer. The best they can do is to change the IAC valve [this costs $400.00], my gearhead buddy says, maybe just a dirty throttle body, can be clean w/ a sturdy toothbrush and a degreaser/throttle body cleaner?
Help,
