Hi all,
Having a bit of an issue plaguing my otherwise stalwart RAV4.
My model is the 2004 D4D 2.0L Diesel Manual AWD.
Runs sweet but doesn't start if the engine is up to temperature. The Battery is new, starter motor new, injectors are fine with only very slight discrepancy on one injector, recently had turbo replaced, all oils/filters/levels and glow plugs are sound.
It'll start from cold absolutely fine, maybe a couple of cranks but never more than 3-4 seconds. Once the engine is up to temp and the engine is turned off, on restarting the engine just turns over and over, shakes the hell out of the car but doesn't spark into life until it's almost completely cold again.
I've been told so many different causes of this but I'm leaning towards maybe the fuel pump relay. Would really appreciate a little help with this as I'm reluctant to spend any more on things which won't solve the problem.
Thanks in advance.
Ben

Unfortunately this problem is quite wide spread. If you havn't already got rid of this vehicle - my advice - get rid. I owned a 52 reg d4d Rav4 a few years ago now. It started giving this very problem at about 90k miles. I ploughed about a few thousand into mine , new starter from Toyota, best battery possible. Etc etc. Nothing cured it. Some say fuel check valve. Some say glow plugs. Toyota couldn't find fault. |

Welcome to the club Ben 👍🏻 I’m not a diesel expert but I’m sure someone will be along soon 😎

It only needs fuel, air and compression and it will start. I would pump the plunger on top of the fuel filter and slacken an injector pipe to see if fuel is getting there. After that I would suggest something goes open circuit with heat.
