I'll try to be brief, but there's a lot to say (& ask). I installed a new set of Denso Iridiums. While I was at it, I installed the new injectors I had on the shelf. Car mis-fired and made that awful banging and shuddering. Techstream reported "random misfiring plus misfire on cylinders 1 & 3". Bad enough but also #4 leaked badly past the top O-ring. Cannibalizing the previous dead Prius, I started checking coil packs. Car started and stumbled until it shut-down with the death triangle present. Though spark was present, 4s new plug was sooty black. I checked continuity on all 8 coil packs on hand. Most were around 30, some were more like 14. Those didn't work. Along the way, my daughter FINALLY managed to get #4 injector to stop leaking. No joy. I've cleaned the #4 plug, replaced it with one that I took out in the first place. ONCE, the car smoothed out for a couple of minutes before once again stumbling and shutting down. Now, I have a light on the dash which I didn't know existed. Low traction battery. With all of the times the car started, only a couple of times did the charging arrows show up but always one purple bar. Again, all I did was replaced plugs and injectors. I have three Prii and I NEED this one to work as I have to have it for work. This is the only one street legal and I go back to work next week. Please advise...
Injectors from who ? Nippendenso ? Or green new things off e bay? After they've run a few minutes pull the injectors back out and look at the pintle end . Do you see black streaks like exhaust marks on the ends of injectors . Indicating rich ? I've had three sets do this . I put originals back in and everything is back to normal and cleaned up I clean balanced units in and rich stumbling imed. Factories w 300K back in running perfectly or close. So I've not got any of those injectors online that are like 45 to 220 bux a set w papers . So if you have real spark plugs in the car not fakes and you put your real injectors back in does the car go to running correctly or close to it?
