I deeply thank you so much for your generosity with knowledge. Your ideas helped me fix my Toyota Prius that suddenly could not engage in drive mode. The Low engine power code indicated when checked. But when the mechanic listened to your video, he cleaned the throttle body and checked the spark plugs which were in bad shape. He replaced them and my prius is driving now perfect! I deeply appreciate it!

That code was set on my 2003 Prius just after I had replaced the 12 volt battery The engine started, then abruptly shut down, and the screen showed an error. A scan showed "unknown issue code P3191" It could be a throttle or MAF sensor issue. If it was a 12 volt issue, shouldn't that have shown up before I installed a new battery, not after? One minor quibble - the starter motor on Toyota hybrids runs on the hybrid battery (in this case, 288 volts) not the dinky little 12 volt battery. The 12 volt battery powers the engine control computer and certain engine functions, but not the starter.

The reason you get oil in the throttle body can be the PCV valve from the ICE valve rocker cover to manifold, time to replace the engine oil and filter with a good synthetic oil & PCV valve. Do not over fill.

I use to work in a shop during high school and worked on my own cars because it was the only way I could afford to drive. Then I became a helicopter mechanic in the Army and later (after flight school) I became a maintenance test pilot. The point is, I have always had an interest in mechanics. Now that I have my own shop I want to get back to doing my own repairs, but holly cow! The scanners are at a cost level that I cannot justify buying them. (Well, maybe a cheaper brand). But how much would I actually use it? Your videos, along with other top notch channels, have really helped me get up to speed with computer controlled systems, to include realizing that there are some things I just can't do...yet. I really appreciate your explanations, demonstrations and well organized videos.

Mine has 206k miles and has been pretty reliable and gets great gas mileage. As an appraiser that means more profit. Had a VW diesel before that and got 200k out of it as well. But it was loud, and the gas was more expensive. Just got the P3190 and P3191 codes and the hybrid battery is at 1 bar. Car started initially but died when placed into drive. I also have a P00011 code. Oil was a little dirty so I changed the oil and air filter. Also in diagnostic mode the 12v batter is low around 9V. Put a charger on battery and got volt reading back to 12.3, but engine still wont start. Should I just replace the 12V battery and go from there?

Oh wow. Who would have thunk it??? I used to do oil changes on a Meecedes ML and she supplied her own oil (so I made probably $10 on the job) and I had to drop the entire skid plate just to drain the oil. She would give me a couple one gallon containers of Mobil1 oil and sometimes a half empty jug also. Well it only takes 7 qts anyway I overfilled it by probably half a quart since I was having trouble measuring oil. No dipstick in that car either. Anyway it kicks on a light saying the oil level is high and she came back freaking out. I drained it down and let her know that next oil change it was going to cost $30 more if she supplies her own oil. Haven't seen her since. I hate oil changes. I have to assume a lot of risk and little reward. I'll leave it to the kids over at the quick lube outfits. Haha

The Car Doctor Heck yea, Just to change the oil its a nightmare. That's how you start out at the dealer and work your way up. Or at the stealer ship the oil change is upsold to a 200 dollar bill with other work. The fill levels are stupid. 7 quarts and 6.8oz wtf! Then the oil filters. really? Why did they put that there. Then you get the crooks who get their oil changed somewhere, say the engine blew up and they want a free engine. Had a crazy guy at the dealer once put a bad engine in a car that was still under warranty, all tool marks were on the bolts. The guy threatened to kill everyone when the job was rejected. Crazy people.
