Help...I need some advice with no start issue!

So apparently you don't know if you have had . Imed put 3 gal in . Let it stand a few minutes with the gallons in and now ready and floor it ? Engines cranking now or attempting to start?

 

As long as you are sure that there is at least 12V at the fuse box under the hood when the car is READY you are in the usual boat for any car that won't start: air, spark, fuel. From the description, the car is out of gas, or if there is gas, the fuel pump isn't working. The fuel gauge on this car is never particularly accurate and since this is a new car to you you don't know if it ever gives good information. The OP did not say what the SOC on the HV pack is. Be careful in this situation not to experiment all the charge out of the HV pack, because if that happens most likely it will need to be towed to a dealer just to charge the pack enough so that it can turn the engine over.

 

Yes it is so now you troubleshooting that 3190 poor running just like a gas car .

 

do the brake lights come on when you press the pedal to push the power button?

 

If it won't go to READY how does the OP know how many bars the HV pack has?

 

IG-ON will show the hybrid vehicle battery charge level on the MFD.

 

I know this so far walking up to Prius and looking to buy them Ive not had one yet that the HV battery in it did not crank the vehicle . I've had em barely 1 pink bar etc . If I make sure all ignition stuff is correct plugs MAF etc cracks rt up I floor it in drive sometimes tSkes 5 full min to green . But makes it even if battery health is questionable . All so far have driven off the premises . Like 9 of em. Now.

 

The fuel level showing one blinking dot and then later showing 4 dots is indicative there was a loss of 12v power. Whether from a 12v battery change or whatever doesn't really matter. The fuel level defaults to one blinking dot until it calibrates itself, which may be 5 minutes or 5 hours. The good news is it's now indicating correct level.

Now...when 12v is lost, all the ecus in the car go back to default values. This includes all the engine parameters that are 'learned' over the course of days or years of operation. This includes everything in the throttle body. One of the first things you need to do is clean the throttle body and throttle plate to remove any carbon buildup that may have caused a change in the plate positioning over the years. The 'learned' functions account for this, but since they've been reset to default, they may be too far out of range now. Also clean the temperature bulb and the MAF sensor inside the housing. That will get those components to match closer to the OEM default values, which are now in the ecu.

 

Yes and hopefully you don't have to do much cleaning because you're keeping this stuff clean with regular attention.

 

yes, it can. I also usually wedge it open and scrub the inside with a toothbrush. Spray cleaner on the toothbrush and scrub the inside walls/ plate. Remove the MAF sensor from the side using a stubby screw driver and clean the heck out of the sensors also.

 

I just push it down w plastic rod etc blast it out push it down let it go a few times

 

The brake light comes on I hope all dash should lite up . And mostly go out you see Ready in green ??? Now step on the gas what happens ?

 

i would put a volt meter on the jump point for a reading
