Starts but won't stay running?

How do I reset security system?

Car started to die out. We jumped it and tried to rev the gas. The rpm won't go past 1. Very low power. I forget the code that comes on but what it means is to take it to the dealer. After turning off car it dies out again.

The car stalls and sometimes the revs drop down to 300 then go up to 1200 then rest at normal 800. When driving you feel the car jerk like holding back and the managment light flickers, these problems are all intermitent and have been gradually getting worse. I have changed spark plugs, air mass flow sensor, all four oxygen /fuel sensors. Ihave cleaned throttle body and idle control valve. Any advice would be much appreciated. Someone has told me to change the idle control valve, would this help with the holding back? Thanks

Hey Grays. I figured out what the problem was. I have a 2003 rav 4 and it starts but shuts off after 20 seconds. I l have replaced everything you've mentioned too and more. I had to get a used PCM to fix it.

WHEN ENGINE IS NORMAL RUNNING TEMPERATURE ENGINE SHUTS OF BY ITSELF

Hi, my daughter has a Toyota Rav4 that when she is driving on the highway her RPM's rev up and the car dies with hardly enough time to get off the highway. The Toyota dealer put a new computer in for $1000.00 and then she drove it for a week and the it happened again. They are saying she needs a new transmission for $4000.00 but we want a second opinion.

At stoplights when the car remains idle for awhile, I really have to lean on the accelerator to get the car to go, and after "revving" for a few seconds the car will lurch forward. After I've got the car going sometimes it'll do the same thing while I am trying to accelerate in the middle of driving, when the car is not idle. And sometimes my car trip will go by smoothly without any stalling. I was just wondering if you could narrow down the possibilities of what could be wrong before I take it in to a mechanic. Thanks!

Start up every time then stalls in about 5 seconds

My 99 toyota Rav4, with 110,000 miles, and v4 engine, has been shaking when I start the car. It feels like a little tremble. When I try to shift from park to drive it will sometimes stall. I also notice my gas mileage is decreasing. What could my problem be? Thanks

You may have a misfiring cylinder which could be caused by bad spark plug wire, plug, or intake air leak. Is the check engine light glowing? Reading the codes may move this from a general answer to a more specific one.

I bought a used 99 Rav4 a few months ago and it ran fine for about a month or 6 weeks then the engine started cutting out when going up a hill or when you quickly accelerate. So I replaced the fuel filter and put some gas treatment in the tank because the car had been sitting for a few months before I bought it I figure it had dirt in the fuel. This didn't seem to help at all so I put in new plugs and wires. Still didn't help much so I had a friend check for any codes in the computer and it shows none. I've been told maybe it could be the coil pak or the fuel pump but I hate to keep buying parts on a maybe do you have any ideas?
Thanks
