Have you tried checking the EFI/ECU fuse?
If a scan tool doesn’t recognise the car maybe the ecu is not getting power.
The oil pressure sender could be on it’s way out. Although I would strongly suggest getting the oil pressure tested.
I would also suggest checking the wiring on the actual sender and making sure everything looks ok.
Before you do anything I suggest you flush the complete A/C system. Depending on how the compressor died there could be metal shavings and other bad stuff you don’t want those particles to kill the new compressor and clog the expansion valve.
In that case you would need to add suitable oil for the various A/C parts. I do recall there was a rough table somewhere that had rough amounts of oil that should be in certain components.
If there are any ‘vents’ or any other outlets that connect to the intake system I would check to make sure there are no blockages as oil could be forced out by pressure.
So you are putting CRV rims on your RAV4? or putting RAV4 rims on a CRV?
It sort of sounds like you are putting rims with a smaller bore hole on a larger bore hub.
Have you got pictures of the lug nuts? Not all of them are the same.
thanks for the reply!
The actual throttle valve itself wasn’t too dirty but most of the cleaning I did to it was after this issue when I had taken it off again. The inside of the intake manifold seemed about the same after the cleaner application so I’m not sure if that would have caused an issue.
When I was spraying the intake cleaner into the intake I do believe some may have gotten all over the EGR valve on the inside of the manifold. But the outside part has not been touched as it is at the back of the intake.
I tried checking for vacuum leaks via spraying carb cleaner as what I saw in Erics video but I couldn’t seem to find any. My tube and ear method only found the air “running” through the A/C idle up valve. I tried to listen for vacuum leaks and couldn’t find any.
This vehicle has a mechanical vane style air flow meter which I suspect may be getting stuck.
This vehicle doesn’t have a CPS as such, but has a sensor in the distributor which has not been touched when this issue came up.
I don’t think its an exhaust blockage since when the engine is warm the vehicle drives fine.
I did purchase a vacuum tester. However, the one I got did not zero and not sure of it’s accuracy. But from what it showed was about 22 in-Hg at idle, and when the throttle was snapped open and shut it would go to “0” and then past 22 to maybe 25 or more then back to 22. The needle did jiggle but when I tested it the engine wasn’t idling smoothly.
