The suspected fakes were used in the engine once rebuilt, and I think causing the engine to run rich and get carbon on top of the pistons in under...
In all honesty the design of the battery in the 2nd gen is terrible. For starters the foam they used on air sealing areas is very low density and...
The pack has maybe 3 years left, if that. I'm not going to put money into it, like I said my current Prius will be old enough to vote next year,...
Laugh all you want, but keep in mind when this pack goes, it's either getting replaced or the car is. I added some foam blocking before using...
Speaking of battery, I plan on replacing it this fall or next spring, should I buy reman or new, and where is the cheapest place for either?
[IMG] So from the factory manual itself, airflow is supposed to completely stop before the separate area that houses the electronics and flow...
This is not my battery, but I noticed mine doesn't have this black plastic piece near the computer. Will this hurt airflow? [IMG]
[IMG] Been bugging me for a long time.
Things are taking shape. Got new foam installed on the top cover. Had to glue it down on the curves. The old adhesive was still tacky which helped...
From what I remember there was a lot of carbon in the oil control rings.
Ended up costing more than another low mile engine, the prices of the engines went down, and prices of machining went up due to the pandemic...
Got the new interlock harness today. Here's the old wire. [IMG] I cut it right where it goes into the safety plug, even then, heavily oxidized....
No oil leaks. Machine shop installed high quality viton stem seals and leak tested it. I stuck my endoscope in the fuel injector holes and the...
It was starting to use a bit of oil at 195,000 miles. I had it machined and rebuilt it myself.
That cable was "bad" before, but I vinegar soaked it and sanded it clean. There is zero corrosion on the post/bolt of the individual cell, bus...
Another thing possibly causing bad MPG, I pulled the spark plugs out this afternoon and all 4 of them are visibly wet with fuel. Bad injectors?
Correct, a proper micro-ohmeter is $300+. The other thing I noticed is there is a lot of foam missing in the sheet metal, and while it seems like...
When diagnosing, I always look for evidence based on previous experience of myself or others. I cannot find any evidence online of someone having...
The hybrid battery keeps getting warm and won't cool back down. The non-corroded wire measured 0.1 ohms, the corroded wire measured 0.2 ohms. If...
This cable is kaput. [IMG] The blue corrosion runs on the wire strands clear to the other end at the safety plug.
