    You are missing a lot of information here....like how many miles are on the vehicle?
    Were there any other problems leading up to this problem?
    Have you had the codes read to see if that tells you anything?
    Have you pulled all of the spark plugs to inspect them for abnormal wear?
    Have you checked for spark on the one wire that you pulled off?
    Sounds like a coil pack issue but I may be mistaken.
    Get some more info if you expect someone here to be able to help you.
    The yahoo prius group has much more info on the generation 1 Prius so you might want to try there also. Just google prius and yahoo I am sure you will find it.
