update, now it runs on "ev"/ battery, but only for a short time - city mpg has gotten better, but I feel there is still something wrong. no check lights/ codes

Search the archives. Most common issues are thermostat, rear blend door, rear air filter, failed battery fans.

What model year is your FEH? How many miles are on it now?

206, mariner ~180k miles. I changed the rear filter, it looked oem and probably never changed - the hybrid battery worked a lot better. I also changed the coil packs which provided immediate low end response, before it was bogging. it now get 27 fwy, 31 city. I still think it can perform better

Interesting. I figured a coil pack was either all good or dead.
I may try that. Coil packs are cheap and easy to replace.

a/c works great. I've notice a slight rough idle. after doing research, it suggests i change the fpr. i'll be changing that next
