    Get the Dr Prius app free version and post the cell voltages and IR values. My 2007 original battery is aging and still good enough at 190k+. But my car has been driven regularly over the years which is what the battery wants. With 90k miles over fifteen years, your battery may have developing issues and Dr Prius may identify them. The paid version has other tests.

    Good find. Quite a bit of testing can be simply stated "which one of these is not like the others?"

    Your fault was "nice enough" to break and stay broken so you could find it with a resistance check.

    So you learn the problem with most reman parts- who knows how "used" they were before, and what (if anything) was done to "remanufacture" them?

    Hey, I am having an identical issue. Has the injector replacement solution held up? Any regrets about going with the Atlanta Auto rebuilt ones?

    Hello Bob! Yes I am still running the eBay injectors. They are holding up just fine since I replaced them. If I could go back I'd probably use the OEM injectors since you know they will last the longest. For a budget fix and if you don't mind coming back they are still working ~1.5 years later.

    I think before you replace them you can confirm the injectors are the problem with a simple resistance check. Check all of the injectors and if any of the readings are significantly off, it's probably a bad injector.

    A change in the coil resistance is probably one of the least common ways an injector goes bad.

    Often, a 'bad' injector will be 'bad' because it's clogged (doesn't pass the right amount of fuel per second) or its nozzle is dirty and it shoots fuel in a jet instead of a spray.

    That is good to know, I checked the resistances and they were all within spec, so I have been looking for other solutions. Turning my attention back to fuel injectors now!
