2002 Rav4 won't start after changing battery.

[susy]

Last week my lil Rav4 just wouldn't start. It just clicked and wouldn't even turn over. We checked the battery and it was dead so we replaced it with a new one. Now the truck will crank but doesn't start! We think it might not be getting fuel. Is there an auto fuel shut off that we need to reset? Just seems strange to have two problems at the same time on such a new vehicle. I'd take it in but my warrenty just ran out. 37,000 miles in less than 2 years. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Hi there, I am getting a used 02 rav4 in a few days.
So did you find out what happen?

One of the RAV4 weaknesses is the battery. But it isn't the battery. It's the Battery Terminals. O changed mine for two Solid plated terminals from http://www.speedwaymotors.com/default.aspx
It's a cheap investment. [$12.00] But if you look at the RAV4 oem terminals you will know what I mean. Regarding the battery, get a new one. Check Inter State, they have three batteries specifically for the RAV4.

I know you have this problem fixed by now, but for anyone else that has this problem, there is a fuse box under the bonnet. Open it up and look for the EFI fuse (3rd up) check fuse, it should be broken, just change it and your Rav 4 should start.
