Did not use my RAV4 1997 for about a month. Battery went flat so took it out got it recharged. Reinstalled it and took out the spark plugs and cleaned them throughly.
Engine now cranks over but car will not start.
Car was working like a champ prior to battery going flat so I cannot believe it is a starter motor problem or other major part going down. I feel sure it's someting simple/goofy.
Mention was made that I may need to override the immobiliser perhaps??
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers,
Mick

Welcome to the club 👍🏻
I can only suggest the basics checks, all the fuses under the bonnet and any under the dash or foot kick panels . Then possibly check the relays in the under bonnet fuse box, for signs of overheating .
The red battery terminal I’m sure will have a fusible link under the red rubber boot or smaller wires coming off that terminal .
So it cranks over but doesn’t start ? Can you check to see if there is a spark at the spark plugs ?
