Hi. I am watching a lot of your videos! You are so cool! I will try to make the story short but I don't know if I can. So I have Toyota prius 2011. I do Uber with this car for about 3 years. I bought it 3 years ago 65 000 miles now is 229,464 miles. I have a few things going on with the car. For a long time when I park somewhere and stay in the car and the car is on. When the engine turn on to charge the battery for a awhile. When the engine go on the whole car is shaking back and forth. Almost 100% of the time. And also when I accelerate you can hear something is knocking from the engine. I think is some of the mouts and I went to a mechanic and I told him that I think some of the mounts have to be changed he saw the car and the said the the front motor mount has to be replaced. And I bought the part and went back to him to ask him to replace the mount and he then said the the front right mount has to be replaced not the front front. So now I got the right front motor mount and I am about to go replace probably both. I am just asking what are your thoughts about this. And there is another thing. I tried to clean the air mass flow filter. I did it because sometimes a light is going on on the dash and there is a code that says that I have to clean that sensor. Now there were no codes on the dash but I just decided to clean the sensor and also I take off the tubes that goes down and spray everything with the spray for the sensor. Meanwhile I was waiting 20 min to get dry and I got connected the computer that I have to read the codes. Then I put the sensor and the tubes back and one of the 2 bolts that hold the sensor I lost somewhere around so I have only 1 bolt now that hods the sensor. Then I went back in the car and I was trying to take of the computer that I was connected with the car. I don't know what happened but I got stuck there and I wasn't able to take it off. Then I just started the car and start driving. Then every light on the dashboard turned on and the engine stepped working. Then I pulled off and on the dashboard every light was on and and there was a text saying " Hybrid system check or something like that. And then somehow I disconnected the computer and then I started the car and there was only chick engine light. Then I connected the computer again and there was an error "P2111 Throtthle Actuator Control. System stuck open. " And then I erase the code and the check engine light turn off and I was working all day with no problem. But when I check for codes it still show me this code. What should I do? Thank you guys for the support? O also even now when the engine turns on when I am parked not only shaking but also knocking. Thank you!
For the code, check the throttle body. Clean it with spray (Follow Scotty's video on that: How to make car run better with sprays), then clear the code and see what happens.
For the knocking sound, it should be from the engine. Might be an expensive repair. you should check with a mechanic for that.
