Phantom Misfires

  

1
Topic starter

The bluedriver, I recently bought using cashback rewards of my CC, on my 2014 prius two (181,670miles) is telling me I have 5 misfires on Cyl 4, and 2 on Cyl2, and 1 each on the rest. Should I just ignore them and keep driving since there is no check engine light on? How many misfires is too many?

Otherwise it is still in great condition, everything original, getting me 46mpg. Thanks to you I feel like I am car expert now 🙂

When is the last time your spark plugs were changed?


Thank you for the reply. I changed them for first time @174k miles, and it is since then I started noticing some weird engine noises especially when starting cold. I just got my bluedriver like two days ago, under the mode 6, sometimes only cyl1 or cyl 2&4 or 3 only will have at least 1 misfire. And sometimes none will register any misfire.

One misfire is too many.  Any other stored codes?  After getting some new plugs, I'd check and clean all the fuel injectors.


Thank you for your reply. Btw I am not getting codes. The misfire is the stuff I see under mode 6, and from that long list of info in mode 6 data, I only look at the cylinders info after scrolling all the way at the bottom. When I do all modules scan, I get no trouble codes.
