firemac 135 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hi I just bough a RAV 4 auto 2002 and I love it but a couple of weeks after I have noticed that it is revving in between gears two and three - in second it revs then jerks and clunks into 3rddoes anybody have any idea whats going on?MargoHi Margo,Have a look at this thread which summarises my current problem. If your issue sounds similar then I fear that it is the ECU that is playing up. It's a common problem in the early 4.2's and is fixable.http://www.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/topic/149327-uh-oh-looks-like-the-dreaded-autobox-ecu-failure/Hope this helps,Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big Kev 513 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 ......and I get the impression on here Margo that one should limit the driving of a car with this fault, as it can and will wreck your auto gearbox......ye dinnae want that.....££££ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ANNAWONG 10 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Almost cetainly the ECU is faulty!Please refer to the link firemac Jim suggested and all the info. you require is there.My Rav, a late 2001 Auto had exactly as the symptoms you describe and by sending the unit to ECU Testing at Heanor, they diagnosed and sorted the problem in no time at all.Don't delay, it will not cure itself!........................................I have no link with this company other than being a very satisfied customer.Regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
