| Description of the problem | I have always noticed that my 2007 toyota rav4 seemed to have a sudden burst of acceleration when i start to move. I asked a mechanic one time if this could be adjusted and was told there was nothing that could be done. I am now wondering if the same electronic throttle control that is causing problems on the later rav4s is on my rav4. I bet it is the same problem. I thought there was a mechanical throttle and now i hear it is an electronic throttle. If electronic, then i would think a change in the computer code that controls the throttle would fix the a problem. |
