    So we have replaced the engine in my 2004 Prius. It sat for about 3 weeks. The gas engine does not turn over and doesn’t give any error codes. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

    Did you try turning the motor over before you installed it?

    Take out the spark plugs and belt. Turn it by the crankshaft bolt with a wrench. Does it turn?
