My Rav 4 is a 2001, but apparently it is a large issue because I jst received a notice from Toyota stating that there has been a problem with the system that involves the "Check Engine" light, and they requested my car be brought in, if I hadn't already done so - contact a local dealer ASAP!

check all vacuum hoses,a leak will cause erratic idling.also could be the throttle position sensor.plug a scan tool into the car,there should be a code,as to why the check engine lite is on.

Why does water come out of A tailpipe when you crank it up?
when the engine and exhaust pipes are cold, the hot exhaust will cool and moisture will condense on the exhaust pipe and drip out. Remember basic chemestry. Automotive fuels are hydrocarbons. The hydrogen molecules in the fuel turns to very hot water vapor when the fuel burns. What you are experiencing is very normal.
Why is your Yamaha rsx100 spewing loads of smoke from the exhaust?
possibly (1) crank seals leaking oil into combustion chamber -need engine rebuild to fix :( (2) oil pump (or premix if you ditched the pump) giving too much oil- adjust pump or reduce ratio of mix. could be very bad carb setting, flooding or choke stuck on, or filthy exhaust if it never gets a long run to heat up properly. Get a Haynes manual and it will tell you all this stuff, and how to fix it... good luck
Can a car with white smoke coming from muffler pass an emisssions test?

Why does your Nissan Stanza Blow GreyishBlack smoke out of the exhaust pipe?
Sounds to me like gas and or oil smoke. When checking the oil is there a noticable amount gone? If in your area there is a emissions requirement that can tell you a lot about how much actual gas is NOT being burned inside the engine. I would look at major tune up, oil change, and o/2 sensor. Good Luck.
