    That is what I got driving for 20 minutes in city. I don't have the codes for scangauge for TB1, TB2, TB3. The only one I have is mentioned as BtT.

    Nope. I have some basic knowledge about cars and computers. I have worked on an old non-hybrid car a little bit but never on a hybrid and never that further .

    There are some things I have to say though. The Prius has a pretty modular front which helps a ton. Has ton of space to work with once you get rid of all the wiring and pipes. And in my opinion working on a hybrid(Prius) is way easier than on a corolla. NO belts no huge brake booster and etc.

    Great job! I reread the whole thread. What grease did you use in the open CV joint and how much did you pay for used engine?

    I used lithium grease. $900 + $250 for shipping. At local yards they were asking for $1900-$2500 with mileage between 60k-80k. The one I got comes with a title of a wreked car with 25k.

    Hello Should you have calibrated the engine after replacing it?

    What do you mean “calibrate”? I’d say that if you install an engine which is properly running, there’s nothing to calibrate.

    I've heard from mechanics who say that the Prius needs to do calibration for the engine and gear after replacing an engine (you can buy calibration files in tis toyota service)
