Hmm... I'm starting to notice a really strong kinda sweet smell after starting the engine. Also sometimes a cloud of smoke. Surprisingly no new...
Just an update for the records: Brought the car into the shop for a second opinion. They pressurized the cooling system and found no leaks. Ran a...
Yes when this misfire problem started, my first stab at it was to was to clean the intake manifold, pipe, and replace the PCR valve. It was...
I put the coil from #2 into #3. And I think I had previously once gotten a misfire in #4 even before swapping. I'm also still getting misfires in #2.
I've never really done any mechanical repairs to cars before, so taking apart the engine feels beyond my abilities. At that point I think I would...
Now this morning I started the car again and it had a subtle knocking when the engine was getting going but smoothed over after about 10 seconds....
That makes sense, but I already cleaned the intake and replaced the PCV valve. Anything else I should try?
I'm really confused, because cylinder #2 held pressure from the leak down test fine, yet I'm still getting misfires in Cylinder #2. I tried...
Newbie mechanic here, trying to save my Prius. 2010, 190k miles. Engine began knocking and throwing P0302 misfire code. Noticed that the coolant...
So... First I pulled the spark plugs out, and the spark plug from Cylinder #2 (the one misfiring) was black and oily. Then, I ran a leakdown test...
Is it okay to do a leak down test with the engine cold? I can't really run the engine long enough to warm warm it up.
Thanks. 2010, 190k miles. P0302 code. Engine knocking. Coolant level is low. I'm worried about a head gasket failure. Got it all opened up to...
Sorry for the newbie question, but how do I know which cylinder is which? I'm getting a misfire in cylinder #2. Is that the second one from the...
update: I removed the EGR pipe & manifold and cleaned it out the best I could with some nylon brushes, a big can of carb cleaner, and then...
190k miles, low coolant, Knocking at startup and after warming up. P0302 misfire code. I'm an amateur at mechanics, but willing to learn and...
@rjparker Thanks for the reply. That makes sense. I've never had to add coolant, but now that I look it is below the LOW line. Haven't been...
190k miles
Is one able to determine whether the problem stems from the EGR circuit by simply unplugging power to the EGR and running the engine?
I'm having the engine shaking/knocking at startup problem and cylinder misfire that seems quite common here. For many people this problem seems to...
