Hi All,
My 2004 Rav4 cranks at normal speed but takes long to start after sitting for a few hours. I have no check engine light or codes. I had the battery, alternator and started tested and they were fine. I went ahead and got a new battery anyway and that did not make a difference. I replaced the MAF sensor and also checked the coolant temperature sensor but the problem still persists. I tried to turn key on and off a couple for times before starting. I also cleaned the throttle body, and replaced the plugs. None of this made a difference.
Once the car starts, its fine, no rough idle. If I immediately restart the car it will start normally with no starting hesitation. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem may be?
Thank you all!
