    So I've got it about 90% together. Thought I would make sure it starts up before securing the airbox and putting the whole wiper system back on.

    I cleaned the egr pipe, elbow, valve, cooler. Intake manifold, throttle body. It did have a code saying it was out of gas but I usually run in kinda low... So I put some in and that code went away. It sounds like it's running but sounds different. I was hoping I got some gunk on the fuel injectors but I don't know.

    Under engine and ect
    P3190
    P3193

    Under Hybrid control
    P0A0F Engine failed to start

    Any thoughts on what to try? HVB is at 1 bar... I worry about it running out.

    SOS,

    Sometimes you need as much as 3 gallons of gas, at least in a Gen2...

    I put in enough. It was flashing the last bar and then I kept putting some in and all the sudden it was at 2 bars. I took out the injectors and tried to clean them up. They were definitely dirty on the outside, but not sure they were that dirty on the face where the holes are... Going to try again in a few minutes. Giving some time for the brake clean to evaporate.

    I forgot to mention while I was trying to clean up the spark plug holes. The fans came on all the sudden, even though the car was off. Think it started beeping too. Turned it on and off again... No idea.

    But I'm kicking myself in the nice person over this... I forgot to put on a tube at the bottom of intake manifold, right next to the throttle body, towards the fans.

    Causing a massive vacuum leak?
