This Toyota Prius Intake Manifold Removal and Cleaning was done on a 2013 Toyota Prius V. My video shows removal of intake manifold and cleaning of built up crud in EGR passage and ports. PRIUS SHAKES?This 2010 - 2015 Toyota Prius Intake Manifold Cleaning video will show you why.

*Remember, this Toyota is a Gen III Prius or 3rd Generation Prius. If you're having PCV error codes and other problems like error codes P0401 P0171 P3190 & P0441 its because oil and sludge get trapped in the intake manifold! This is typical with a Gen 3 Prius V. We will also give you a glimpse at Toyota EGR Diagnosis Tips and Repair Tips because I'm sure you've heard from Toyota master diagnostic technicians that Toyota EGR diagnosis for models equipped with the latest generation EGR can be important. Toyota Prius Engine Knocking and Rattling? Yep! This will help! And if you've got a Shaking and knocking prius every morning, this can help tremendously!
PLUS, this video actually covers a little Joe Rogan philosophy, and a few things the Prius gang leader at NutzAboutBolts doesn't cover. I love them fellers, but sheesh!

*Friends, if this video helped you, be sure to hit the "THANKS" button!*
Best video ever with clear descriptions. I will not remove the coolant hose and leave it alone. I have 2015 model and not so much gunks after 100k miles. Probably because it does not consume any oil within 5k miles Oil change interval.
Do you have to disconnect the battery first?
Dont lie that no thrue!!!
Literally watched this on the toilet and didnt get up cause it was so engaging. 100% rewatching this when I'm cleaning all this on my 2010 prius at 100k!
Clearly the best car how to video I have ever seen. Generating a pdf is also next level.
Thank you, sir! I am honored by your compliment because I have seen and admired your knowledge on Prius Chat for a long time. Please be sure to like and share!
Agreed!
100% in agreement with you. Best ever on TH-cam. 🙌
Thanks fellas. Your kind words are makin' me blush!
I've watch a lot of DIY car repair videos. This is by far the most entertaining and best, editing wise. Thanks Merv!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the best DIY car repair video I have ever seen in my life. The editing, the script, the camera shots. Unbelievable. I feel like my brain was just chauffeured into knowledge city. Thank you for making this.
Wow, thanks! Great to have you as a fan!
This video has no right to be so damn entertaining and informative 😂😂😂 thanks
I don't do any car mechanics but own a prius and watched it all the way through. Nice job! Learned stuff I'll never use but will appreciate the work others do!
I don't think I have ever had so much fun, watching a how-to car repair video. Merv is a funny man!
My Last name is DeMil. It trips me out every time you say it. PS, I'm going to execute this today with the help of your incredibly well-produced video. Wish me luck.
The narrator is very funny and smart.
The whole thing was informative and awesome.
Thank you
So nice of you
Legitimately the best instructional video ever produced.
Thanks so mucH!
He said “we call this - clearing the kids off the street - before you go all Rambo". Hardest I laughed all day.
Love your vids and commentary!
I was sitting in the toilet watching these types of videos but now I'm back to my bed.
I used a pressure washer. Cleaned it out real quick and real clean.
Also, I think you should create another channel of you reading things like Peter rabbit, huckleberry Finn and other children classics
Thank you, sir! Very high quality production + plenty of wits to keep us entertained throughout. I have a 2nd gen Prius that doesn't have that EGR crap. Still running strong after 300,000 miles.
Right on!
The best one!
Thank you for such a clear and concise how-to! My 3rd gen Prius needed a lot of work including removing and cleaning the air intake manifold, specifically the EGR ports. I didn't have any pcv codes but I went ahead and replaced ithe valve while I was there since it's such an inexpensive part and a pain in the butt to get to. I paid someone to change the EGR less than a year ago because of some shakes/rough idling and that's literally all they did. No cleaning or replacing anything else in the system. I'll be doing my own work from now on. I'm telling everyone I can about your channel and have subscribed.
Thank you again
Awesome! And please check out my store! mervs-merch.creator-spring.com/?
Wow that parts cleaner tip is a real gem! Thank you for that and the rest of the vid! At 150,000 km and zero codes, I reckon this is the time for a preventative air intake cleaning job for me!
How'd you know I was on the toilet watching this? Just earned my subscription for knowing that!
My 2012 Prius V was shaking when I started it and initially it would only shake at immediate startup but after a while, it just rattled longer so I parked it. Sounded like the engine was coming apart. Then I saw someone online say that when they shifted theirs into neutral, the rattling stopped and it allowed the car to warmup and after that no more rattle. Anyway, that gave me hope the engine might not be destroyed. The auto parts store suggested the code indicated a cylinder 4 misfire so I changed the coils and plugs and still no relief. I saw information online suggesting cleaning or replacing the EGR valve and cooler might resolve it and honestly I was dreading that job because it looked complicated. I found a thread by Catalinux on Priuschat where he had the same issue and changed coils, plugs, and cleaned the EGV valve and cooler and still had the same rattling on startup and then the problem was resolved when he cleaned the intake manifold. Searched youtube and found your video and it made removal and cleaning look really easy so I tried it first. I used brake cleaner, a pressure washer and even a hair dryer. Moment of truth, started the car and no more rattle. Thank you for this entertaining and well-done instructional video.
I'm glad you were able to solve your problem. Sounds like you did a lot of research from a variety of sources. Good for you because that's important! Hope you'll consider smashing the *super thanks* button beneath my video, or maybe visit the Merv's Merch Store to help support the channel. -Merv Himself. STORE: mervs-merch.creator-spring.com/?
If you google oil catch can for the Prius , this will help stop the oil build up , I have not cleaned the intake , all I did was install a baffled oil catch can and no more shaking during startup.
Absolutely best reply ever. And screenshoting it
18:16 I was wondering about all those fumes 😂
I seriously didn’t know I needed to hear this voice, but I’m hooked.
Great video!
Long time pro mechanic. Love your video! Right combination of smarts and humor. Thanks!
Thanks! 👍
One of my favorite videos for this! Amazing commentary and very clearly marked highlights. Thank you! And yes, I was watching this while atop the porcelain throne.
Got a subscriber in me, so dang happy I found you in a search...pretty sure I can fall asleep listening to you go over working on cars
HEllo ! I've got a prius 2nd gen.,but your video is soo well done that I litereally watched it until the end, by pleasure. Bravo !
Thank you right kindly!
Best instructional video out there, made this job less intimidating and much more efficient
Crazy how this doesn't have more views, love this content man!
Appreciate it! Check out my MERCH! mervs-merch.creator-spring.com/?
This is the next level of howto tutorials. Thanks for your great production!
You're very welcome!
Looking forward to doing this maintenance with the help of your video! Kudos for making such a well paced, engaging, and detailed video. As many said here, this is next level work! Keep it up!
Glad to help!
I did the same job, but your demo is way better than all I have seen
Your editing is top notch. Very easy to understand for an idiot like me. Video couldn’t be any more perfect. Thank you!
I just stumbled upon this video after purchasing a CT200H and subscribed immediately. 👍
Awesome, thank you!
45 seconds in and he called it I'm on the toilet right now! Just got a new subscriber 😂
You do a splendid job of explaining yourself. The videos are highlighted very well. Looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you kindly!
Very well done, and all little details Men appreciate being told in the process. Now got to get to it. Thank you sir 🙏 🎉
Not only is this video very INFORMATIVE, it's also very ENTERTAINING! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Check out my MERCH! mervs-merch.creator-spring.com/?
Thanks! This will fix a problem that has been haunting me. Concise and to the point. Much appreciated.
Thank you very kindly! Glad you found it helpful.
Your voice it like listening to an old Disney movie. Very informative video. You make me want to go rip apart my 2010 prius and get scrubbing!
Awesome DIY! I love your choice of words and how you cover just about every question that pops into my head as I watch! I appreciate your video on this intake manifold cleaning as I was afraid of over soaking chemicals but you got them covered!
Happy others can learn from my (sometimes painful) experiences!
Sam Elliot does car maintenance. That voice and accent are perfect!
I also like the way you do voice over, versus just talking while you're working. It leads to a very clean video.
And yes, the PDF takes it to the next level. I will be subbing to this channel.
Glad you enjoyed! Please check out my world famous Merch Store! mervs-merch.creator-spring.com/?
You need more views like for realllllll your voice is soothinggg
This is so good. Thank you! Please never stop!
Thank you. I was reluctant to clean the intake on my 13 ES300h. I assumed the EGR ports were longer and serpentine. Clear explanation and I love the camera work and graphics. Well done!
Glad it helped
Video could not have been better. Outstanding.
Thanks! Please check out my store too! mervs-merch.creator-spring.com/
Very educational video. Thank you so much for sharing.
Wow - incredibly instructive, helpful and entertaining all at the same time. Thank you - keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do!
The narration voice sounds like a BBQ grilling/smoking channel. So calming. But the other great thing which makes this the best video is your camera shots. You were able to get into areas that others could not do. Well done! Just liked and subscribed!
Glad you enjoyed it! Be sure to check out our Merch store too!
Great editing and great humor, thank you for a great DIY car repair video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I fall asleep to your beautuful voice, great video need to clean my intake as well.
love the voice over and how you did your video, thank you!!!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
This is the best car repair video on TH-cam, I have been putting this mantinence item on the back burner but you gave me the motivation to do it
Great to hear!
How'd you make out? I'm fairly handy but this job along with the cleaning the EGR cooler and changing the spark plugs is kind of intimidating. Also debating the oil catch install since it might make me fails emissions testing, would need a way to possibly disconnect it just for the yearly inspection.
Everything worked out well for me. But a person needs to understand that a considerable amount of time will be required to do it right. I don't recommend anyone trying this if they are in a hurry.
Fantastic video. An updated EGR cooler video, would be incredible. The popular one seems a bit outdated at this point. Pressure washer, and your cleaning techniques would be cool to see. If you get that catch can in, let us know where you put it
There's a great overall catch-can video I did here: th-cam.com/video/9vqBUiDHYC0/w-d-xo.html. While it's not specifically for the prius, the general principals covered are pretty universal. I highly recommend it.
I hang them with a re usable zip tie on the back of the high power wire bracket with the dipstick positioned for easy checking.
Next level editing your video deserves the most
I appreciate that!
@@MervsServiceSecrets gotta give credit where it’s due. If I could give to thumbs up I would.
Thank you !
Watching this video was great. Learned a lot! Also, gave me memories of watching "A Christmas Story" 💪🏽💪🏽
Happy holidays!
One of the best car diy TH-cam videos ever…. Just read the comments. I have subscribed and look forward to watching your videos.
Thanks for the sub!
Nice work! That's probably the best video on cleaning those parts! 👌
Wow, thank you!
such a cinematographic, entertaining thing you made...thank you !
Glad you enjoyed it! Demille does all the filming with a shoebox camera he hand cranks. Please consider supporting the channel by getting something from our store. With any luck, we can soon afford to buy him a tripod. mervs-merch.creator-spring.com/?
Excellent, informative video, the graphic outlines really help.
One thing, f you use purple power on the intake, rinse it off REAL good; it’s somewhat caustic, will likely corrode the metal embeds if a trace is left. For insurance, put a little WD40 on every metal bit. Best to just stick with brake cleaner, less of a witches brew to clean up after. Ditto for the (aluminum) EGR valve.
I would reserve Purple Power (and sim caustic cleaners) for use on the EGR cooler, which is stainless steel, and really needs that carbon eating action.
And yeah, heard my name mentioned, LOL! So stoked, I sent a link to my son. He said he could listen to your voice all day. :)
Addendum: a tip for releasing cable clip jaws (from a PriusChat member, don't recall his name, perhaps someone can chime in?), a 10 mm (6 face?) socket, pressed onto the jaws, will often compress them inward enough to release the clip. Probably any tube with 10 mm ID would do the same, say copper/plastic tubing, what have you.
Addendum02: Hope I didn't REALLY come across as "tearing into" nutzaboutbolts, regarding the throttle body coolant hoses. Those guys are heros of third gen Prius maintenance/repairs. Hey nobody bats 100. :)
Thank you for your thoughtful comments and knowledge. You are Prius chat royalty and filled with wisdom. I learn a lot from your posts.
I don't comment much but this video is so amazing, I had to comment like, subscribe , 5 stars for edit details and now I need to get my hands dirty to clean my Prius. thank you
Thanks for subbing! Welcome aboard!
That upper wiring harness clamp would have been less of a giant pain if I had my trim removal tools when I first did this job.. Totally worth the effort to do, just wish the egr valve removal wasn't such a comically ridiculous task. 244k miles and still kicking
Wow that's awesome! I agree with you on the EGR drama too!
Informative without being condescending i likey likey😂😂😂
I love @PriusChat and you're right about Mendel !
This is best video about prius EGR cleaning 👍👍👍👍
Glad you think so! Please spread it around.
I probably missed your but 2010-2015 Priuses need this done at least every 100k or so?
Especially the EGR valve?
To avoid oil burning and possibly destroying the engine?
The "This Old Tony" of automotive repair
Bought the Pdf, its great. Really top notch work! Would be awesome if you cleaned the Egr cooler and valve too. Pls do make a video of that work. Thx you,
On it!
I've been an auto mechanic for over 20 years. Many of the problems I see daily could have easily been avoided by simply following the vehicles maintenance schedule. I use a program on my computer called Automotive Wolf car care software to keep track of all the maintenance for my 3 cars, a truck and even a generator. It automatically can send you text message reminders when any type of service is due. Two of my vehicles have over 200,000 miles and have never needed any repairs. Want to save money? Follow your maintenance schedule!
Excellent post. Thanks for being a viewer!
Thank you for creating such a helpful tutorial!
Thank you for watching! Please be sure to hit the "thanks" button under the video.
Great video! Great Voice over. Will definitely reference this video in the future!
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you sir. The video was fun to watch and information was useful. My 2011 Toyota Prius has the rattling and I plan on tackling this job myself. Although I suspect I might need a head gasket considering little loss of coolant and no leaks found under carriage!
I hope that's not the case, but you could be right about that head gasket. Please keep us updated.
What was it in the end? Similar issue with my 13. I hear changing the plugs and coils should fix her right up
I really appreciate this video; thank you for making these resources. Do you plan on making a video in the future on cleaning the EGR circuit (pipe, valve, cooler) in the gen 3 prius as well?
For sure!
I see I've found AvE's father figure. New sub. I'm entertained and knowledged.
Awesome! Thank you!
I’m ready to listen to your voice every time I go to sleep 😂
Be sure to watch for my upcoming sleepy-time lullaby album!
This is so wonderful. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Kool stuff and well explained out step by step
Merv, I can’t thank you enough. Through your power and grace I was infused with your wellspring of knowledge about this exotic and environmentally friendly piece of Japanese machinery, all while pinching a few off on the John. 23 minutes of a sheer masterpiece, loved every second of it!
Incredibly poetic! *Discount Code good through St.Patty's Day* : PERCH10
Amazing and entertaining…you’re a true master, thank you!
My pleasure!
Dude your voice is Legendary!!!
Thanks!
Thank you thank you thank you! Just completed this thanks to you! I hope this solves the problem. Excellent video. I will confess I did not release the pressure and got a nice golden shower of antifreeze lol
I will let you know if this solved the cold startup shakes
Thanks for watching. Yeah, ya gotta be careful and make sure you clamp things properly.
Ive watched alot of auto DIY videos, and you Sir take the cake! Also you could do western movie voice overs with that voice! 😎
Maybe one day!
Entertain video!! Would you recommend an oil catch can to avoid build up in the future?
I just saw it fully and yes sorry bout that!
The voice is the best part.
This is funny and informative....ENJOYED!
Awesome! Thank you!
Brake cleaner/starter spray is ether (highly volatile, low octane rating), carburetor/intake/injection cleaner contains lots of xylene or toluene (high octane rating) and maf sensor cleaner is isopropyl alcohol.
There was a lot of sense of humor if anyone noticed.
Great job btw.
I wish if I could ask you to do the same for my 2012 Lexus ct200h which has the same engine.
Thanks! 👍
Very well done. You are worth subscribing to. Thank you.
Thanks and welcome
Super, super well explained! 😃👍
One little remark: the "pressure sensor" at 15:43 is the MAF sensor. All generations of Prius come without air pressure sensor. Volkswagen needs it. 🤪😂
Thanks for watching. But no, the MAF sensor is in a different place. The sensor I showed you is , indeed, a "MAP" sensor. (Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor). Go here to see one close up: amzn.to/3PugkqM
@@MervsServiceSecrets O.k. 😉👍
Wonderfull, Educaional and funny video. Thanks for sharing, lol
Glad you enjoyed it
Your Voice to any DIY or Whatever I'm interested thank you.
You Awesome! Thanks for all detailed info about gaskets an more!!! AAA
You bet!
Halfway done thanks to this vid
My cleaning secrets video is uploading right now. I told Demille to schedule it for tomorrow.
I sit stonefaced thru comedy movies but think you are informative mechanically and funnier than heck!
Helen’s toothbrush may cost you dearly….
Glad you enjoyed it! Of course, you realize you may have just given yourself an awesome nickname right? "Stoneface".
I wiped it off real good with some old rags before putting it back, so I think I'm in the clear. (I'm pretty crafty when I borrow her stuff. )
Excellent video, thank you, it helped a lot.
Glad to hear it!
Very informative video, funny too. Excellent!
Glad you enjoyed it!
BRILLIANT LOVE YOUR STYLE. ABSOLUTELY BRILL
Thank you so much. Please check out my store too! mervs-merch.creator-spring.com
Excellent video!
Glad you liked it!
I never knew that Sam Elliott / Bob Ross was such a good mechanic. Any harm in soaking a stripped down intake manifold in a 5 gallon pail of hot water and Dawn overnight? It would seem to do a lot of the preliminary cleaning.
I've done it. It helps. But you wouldn't believe how nasty it gets in there. The dirt just keeps on comin'
You’re the absolute best!
Thank you right kindly!
Very entertaining and in parts of video had me laughing 🙌🏼
