Just got a letter from Toyota that they are extending the warranty coverage for the codes P3190 P3191 and P3101 & code 204 & 205. 10 years or 120K miles for 2001 to 2003 Prius.

Anyone here heard of this? Got it from PruisOnline

Quote:

3191 Engine (aka ICE) does not start.
3090 Poor engine power.
3101 Engine system malfunction
204 Abnormal engine output (abnormal signal from ECM)
205 Engine unable to start (due to abnormal signal from ECM)

My 03 Prius had gone over 120k miles when my letter came in. <grumble>

Regardless, one fix is to keep the throttle valve area clean. That fixed my problem a couple of years ago.

Or, if your car is not covered by this extended warranty and cleaning the throttle body / replacing the iridium spark plugs does not help, then you can buy the current revision engine ECU (with part number suffix 47054) from a salvage yard for ~$300 and replace it yourself.
