Separate names with a comma.
I would suggest that you should first burn through a whole tank of gas.......or near to it. The transient misfire might have been due to the gas...
Ford cautions you to not use 85 in their trucks. Makes sense since trucks work harder. Even Ford might not have a similar recommendation for the...
You almost got that right. Vinegar is weak acetic acid. But not all acetic acid has anything to do with vinegar. :)
Well, it is what it IS. Better to shop at your convenience than to have the Prius "go up in smoke" and have a crisis on your hands.
I've been driving for about 60 years now. And NEVER had a vehicle that wouldn't still provide transportation no matter how much rust the body had....
That is putting it mildly. The cause and effect link is pretty shaky. Typically, there is no "cause" for head gasket failure except poor design...
First, you need to have both batteries tested.
Do models that old have "Jump points" under the hood ? If so, you don't have to "get to the battery". And if this has happened enough times that...
Why bother when you have nice people on the Internet who will do it for you. Or who have already done it and will tell you the results. :)

Assuming a 6 day week, that is about 2400 miles a month. 5 quarts in only 2400 miles is a pretty good sign that your engine is "toast" too. Note:...
If you were trying to sell it to ME, they all would be "big deals". Have you checked the 12 V battery and it's main connections yet ?
Probably not worth the money.....UNLESS other major high mileage expected repairs have already been done. Like the hybrid battery. And the CAT...
But what evidence do you have that it will lose ANY capacity with 4 months of inactivity ? It's age might be a clue but not a given. It also is...
I'm a bit surprised at hearing that from you because...........I believe it is NOT true of the type of batteries used for the HV. Unless maybe it...
You should buy a tender type small charger and leave it connected. You should NOT get a cheap trickle charger as that might do more harm than good.
First, a 900 watt draw at 12 volts takes about 75 amps. The 12 V battery alone will not supply that kind of power for more than a few minutes....
