Hi Donald. I have a rav4 1998 and im having the same exact problem as your vehicle, Cranking and starting nut immediately dies. Cant get the damn thing going, even had an auto electrician over to look at it and check everything which all seems fine. I get codes 21 and 99. i just want to pick your brains on your vehicle. i know it was many moons ago but you may still be able to shed some light. Or anyone thats had the same issue. Model is SXA11R, Engine 3S-FE. I dont know if this has an immobilizer in it. Cheers
Hi Bettz, I'm in a very similar situation to you. I have exactly the same year RAV4, Car cranks but won't start. It's showing the codes 21 and 99. Some research on Google shows that 21- relates to O2 sensor and 99 - relates to immobiliser.
I have gotten a new starter as the car didn't crank before due to starter failure.
I have checked that sparks are happening.
I have a new battery.
I put some fuel into air intake and it seemed to start but was very rough and died quickly.
I have ordered an O2 sensor and hope that it will clear the code 21.
Any updates on how to clear the code 99?

I should mention that the inside of the car had flooded to the level of the pedals, also the rad fans switch on when I turn the key to 'ON'. I have removed the interior panels, seats and carpets for better access and cleaning.
Any info on how to fix this code would be appreciated.
