At the time I thought I needed something fast - so researched Prolong and Maxx Volts. There was some debate in the forums over what to get...
Haha - maybe a good idea - backup vehicles are nice but the cost of insurance is real
Youch! Yes that will leave a mark :) Most of the time I’d say the car stays between 1/3-3/4 full. Very rarely does it go all the way to empty...
UPDATE: 100% Fuel Pump was root cause. For those in the dead cold of winter with these symptoms like I was - don’t try to test the fuel pressure...
UPDATE: 12V Battery and HV battery charged - all good there. Cleared codes - got things back to square. Cranked for the grins - no start - 8...
Update: A winter storm delayed the shipment of the grid charger to get back to solving the problem. OEM battery so needed to be reconditioned...
Yep that makes sense - thanks! I reset codes after the couple of attempts - and as part the recent work had the orange plug out and did NOT slide...
Just an update, the engine did hit briefly on starting fluid but after a few unhappy combustions it defaulted back to MG1 doing a 8-10 second...

Hi all, Starting my journey with a new problem. After some research I noticed there weren't many actual audio references to issues people...

Is the BlueDriver report data good enough? I have another OBD2 reader, but probably won't go to the effort of TechStream. And thanks, I got so...
Smart - will be good to know the before and after. Ran a BlueDriver Mode 6 report for the car this evening and attached. Odometer: 177,698 miles...
Perfect thanks! Gearing up to do it this weekend - thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the feedback on the piston tops - I wasn't certain at all how to feel. I pretty much had myself talked into a head gasket replacement...
Thanks - really good insight. I, nor my family who had a delightful time smelling my plugs, had the sense of a sweet smell on any of the plugs...
Humbled and honored for your response! Thanks Mendel! Truly I'm well informed thanks to many, but namely you. You are very much appreciated....
This is my first Prius/Atkinson type engine, so thanks for the confirmation these rough start sounds can happen. Didn't realize OBD2 would show...
Haha, that quote embodies pretty much everything doesn't it - classic! Painful, but classic, truth hurts. I'm into it for $7000, not including...
