    My 2017 V Prius has started stuttering, jerking only when Iam in eco and rpms are low. Once I give full gas, engine runs like normal with no hesitation. Car has 200K. It’s not a headgasket issue because I already tested for that through my coolant and headgasket is ok. I have included a video of live fuel trim data when the engine is hesitating and I floor it at the end of the video so I get reading when engine is running ok. I do get a cylinder 2 misfire code. But I want to double check if my fuel trims are normal or not. I have already ordered plugs and coil for it but want to check my fuel trims. If Anyone with experience can tell me if my trims look normal or within range? Thanks!
