Ah the dreaded "COLD START" on any old rav4. Ours is 97' & what helped me was the engine oil. I ended up changing the oil & filter myself. Used Castrol High Milage 5W-30. & no lie on cold starts, we had to crank the car & press the gas at the same time, but gently & once the "oil logo" was gone, the engine started... & the car ran like new. So imma change it every 5,000 miles
