    Hello Everyone!

    I have a Prius Plus and I'have been struggling with the next problem.

    The engine jerks and the igniton jingles.

    No error code ind ECU system, but we made a live data monitoring test (enroute) and the computer signed
    ignition problem in changing piston. Once piston 1 and then piston 4 then piston 2 etc. but not continously neverthless the engine jerked all on the test way.

    What we did for fixing the problem:

    - EGR valve pipe and cooling system cleaned
    - Repleaced spark plug and coil
    - Repleaced air mass sensor
    - Engine cooling water level ok
    - oil consuption 0,5liter(0,13gal)-1liter(0,26gal) / 15.000km (9500mi) so its ok

    Has enyone have idea?

    Thanks Adam!
