Have a recently-purchased 2010 Prius. I'm in the middle of the famous project to unclog the EGR cooler/valve path at 140k miles.

My thanks to other posters in this group who wrote of their efforts on this. I will post my own comments later when I've regained my composure. And the skin on my bloody knuckles. Needless to say, Toyota screwed up royally on this. I'm surprised that CARB didn't force them to recall the vehicles.

While I'm doing this project I'm likely to also install the much-discussed oil catch can. I live in Indiana and have noticed the death rattle on start-up on cold damp mornings.

EBay and Amazon are full of generic oil catch cans. Does anyone know if there is a Prius Gen III-specific kit that contains all the necessary hose adapters?

During this pandemic an old man like me should not be roaming the plumbing aisles of Home Depot and Lowes stores trying to acquire the necessary hoses and adapters. I'm interested in a complete, ready-to-install OCC kit.

My thanks in advance for any advice on this.

The misfiring on cold starts could be a sign of a head gasket issue. The EGR clogging problem in third generation Priuses is the most common cause of blown head gaskets.
