    My 2007 is starting sporadically. The battery is new. It starts only once in a while..

    it's difficult to understand what exactly the problem is.... Can you please provide more details? You know that in Prius gas engine is supposed to shut down after initial start if you don't drive, right? And then it will start again later to charge big battery when the charge drops.

    Thanks,
    Alex
