2007 Rav4 won't start!

[Miranda Kay]

A 2007 RAV4, only 72,000 miles on won't start when its really cold out. When it drops below zero can not get the thing to start. Has to be inside of the garage and even then has trouble. It turns over. Any thoughts?

Give the intake and mas airflow sensor a good cleaning, take the intake pipe off the throttle body and use a toothbrush to cllean the butterfly plate.
Use a sensor safe cleaner to do the cleaning.
Also run a quality injector/fuel syystem cleaner then top it all off with seafoam.
Youve got deposits in the air and fuel systems.

Thanks for the advice! I will give these instructions to my husband and see if it helps

Forgot to mention look at the IAC (Idle Air Control valve) to, it also needs cleaning once in a while, it get dirty.

Did your RAV4 have problems starting today? Or has your husband taken care of the problem?
