Separate names with a comma.
That's quite an elaborate reply to my 39-month-old post---yet still semi-relevant to Gloria&Suzanne's recent post. Thanks! If a hill is too...
Was that ever not true on the same hills? To some degree that's normal behaviour, compared to most other cars.
Did you acqure 'Big Red" new or used? If used, is there a chance a stop-leak chemical was added to the coolant? Or an incompatible mix of...
Yeah, IF. Why or how would that stuff have any effect on the EGR system?
You bought an aftermarket EGR valve? According to what I read here (having no personal experience), those usually don't work. Yes, the EGR...
1. Check for EGR restriction the easy way: Techstream EGR Valve Blockage Data | Page 3 | PriusChat. 2. Clean out EGR ports of intake manifold, if...
Wouldn't any residues from oil leaks on the outside (i.e., top) side of the spark plug gaskets be found only on the outside of the gasket? Were...
I had a better idea. Cut off the flap through the "hinge," then reattach it with six screws and two sheet-metal straps. To change the filter,...
Yes, and you'd also get dirty air chewing on internal parts of the engine.
If you use ramps on a not-too-steep hill with the car facing downhill, the car will end up nearer level than if you use the ramps on a level...
Why is the engine even running while the car is motionless? The engine normally stops when the car stops, unless it's cold, or the battery state...
Does the rattling and shaking at start-up occur consistently lately? If so, that's an ominous sign. (If it's only occasional, there's usually a...
The flow test results do "jump" around some, but shouldn't vary that widely (aside from actual increased blockage or a clean-out). For example,...
Many former sceptics evidently have become believers. However, I don't recall any of those success stories involving a Prius. No competitor has...
That's logical.
Were the small EGR ports in the intake manifold also cleaned? That's the most critical area---although a lot easier to remove and to unclog than...
What are those values? Did you mean 19 and 22 mΩ instead ? Big difference!
The 20+ kPa you're getting means your system is not clogged. That's not unusual, even for systems that have not had the cooler cleaned. My...
Rainwater coming off the rear of the roof and the sides of the hatch runs into the gutter-like channels under the sides of the hatch. At the...
Oil compainies (SOPUS specifically, and probably others) have denied that myth, and claim their "high mileage" stuff will not harm new engines.....
