low idle

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your vehicle. Low idle speed on your RAV4 could be due to a few common issues. Dirty or clogged components, like the throttle body or idle air control valve, can restrict airflow and cause low idle. Sensors like the mass airflow (MAF), if faulty, can also misread intake air volume and lead to idle problems. Finally, if there's an issue with fuel delivery or pressure, this can also contribute to low idle. I would start by cleaning the inside of the throttle body, especially if the battery has died or been replaced recently. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered.
