2016 RAV4 randomly stalls/shakes/shuts off for 2 YEARS — no consistent codes, passed EVAP, replaced fuel pump & canister. Finally got P1603 + P1605. Strong fuel smell. Anyone else?
2016 Toyota RAV4 (2AR-FE engine). For over 2 years my car randomly stalls, shakes, and shuts down with no warning. Here’s what I know:
• Intermittent stalling/shaking/full shutdown
• Strong fuel smell (persistent)
• Scanner rarely throws codes — when it does, nothing
• Finally got P1603 (Engine Stall History) and P1605 (Engine Rough Idling) — both appear to be consequence codes, not cause codes
• Replaced fuel pump and charcoal canister — no fix
• Passes state EVAP testing consistently
Suspects I haven’t ruled out yet: leaking injector O-rings, crankshaft position sensor, camshaft position sensor.
Has anyone dealt with this exact pattern on a 4th gen RAV4? What fixed it? Dealer couldn’t find anything. At my wit’s end.
