Engine shakes after replacing head gasket but no consistent codes

Thank you very much, that helps a lot.

 

I back probed the cam sensor to start. I'm not sure what values I should have gotten. Here are the readings, Do these readings look like what they should look like?

Voltage:
White to black wire: +4.1V falling to .71V when a metal object is held to the end of the sensor
Red to Black: .89V
Red to White: 5.02V

Ohms:
R to White: 1.35K Ohms
R to Black: 1.29K Ohms

Thanks

 

I'll hook up techstream today to verify that the code is actually what my reader says it is. Based on this forum, generic readers, like the ones I have, are less than reliable.

I'm not very good at troubleshooting car electrical issues. Thanks for explaining clearly what I should do. If the code is still there with tech stream I'll go from the ECU to the cam wiring to check for an open.

 

Techstream was harder to get working than I thought, mostly because my cable, a OBDLink EX is not fully J2534 compliant. So I ordered another cable that, allegedly, is. Wish there was a higher quality (non-chinese) option for a J2534 compliant cable but I can't find one. Probably take a week to get here.

What you're saying makes sense, thank you for explaining it to me. I'll pull the valve cover again tomorrow and check that the timing is correct per that video, and hasn't jumped. I actually followed that video when doing the timing, I think it was in of the posts on here, possibly one of yours in another thread. It may have jumped or I may have made a mistake somewhere. I'll try to post pictures when I get the valve cover off and the intake cam turned so the timing lines up with the marks again.

Thanks again for the help

 

Looks like they're out of stock at the moment. When they're back in stock and I have the money I'll order one, thank you very much for the recommendation.

 

Okay, this is interesting and I'd appreciate understanding what's going on here if anyone can explain it to me. I missed the step of lining up the mark on the harmonic balancer with the zero mark on the timing cover. I did line up the marks on the timing chain with the intake and exhaust cam marks as well as the mark on the crank gear inside the timing cover. Turning the intake cam until the marks line up again, it appears that the mark on the harmonic balancer is retarded by about 1/6th of a turn relative to the mark on the timing cover. I'd swear the mark on the gear under the timing cover lines up with the timing chain, I checked repeatedly before reassembly. Was I wrong in thinking that the mark on the crank gear corresponded to the 0 mark on the harmonic balancer? Does that matter for timing purposes if the marked links on the chain all line up where they're supposed to per the video that rjparker posted?

Here's a shared google album, hopefully I can post that here. It includes the old head gasket that was failing. Prius 2012 - Google Photos

Thanks for all the help

 

Thanks for that catch, I might have bought it from Amazon and ended up with a more expensive knock off if you hadn't checked.

 

Thanks, I'll pull it tomorrow.
