2007 Gen 2 Prius intermittent dash lights

Just bought a 2007 gen 2 Prius with only 143k miles, got a pre purchase so I was pretty confident with the purchase. I drive a lot for school and work so need something reliable. Anyways after 250 miles almost all the dash lights popped up, master warning light, check engine, vsc, abs, and brake warning light. After I got home I checked codes and it only had one code poa93. Inverter coolant pump. Okay cool, look it up job isnt bad at all but I’m not really in a position to be throwing parts at it. Go to sleep and wake up, no dash lights, drive it about 250 more miles and just the check engine light comes on, then goes away next time I start it, then another 150 miles it comes back and another 100 miles after that again it lights up with master warning light and check engine. Don’t have much hybrid experience as I just work on my e36 in my free time. Hoping for some insight on where to go from here as far as diagnosing if the inverter coolant pump is actually bad or if there’s another underlying fault.

M52 is blown on my 328i, can only find one clean s52, no m52… Planning on swapping an s52 into my manual swapped 328i that I bought with a getrag 5 speed, I have a 3.38 lsd in it just wondering if the transmission will hold the extra torque, eventually plan to zf swap but probably can’t do both rn.

Compression test came back everything was at 215 except cylinder 2 is at 115, borescope shows extreme cylinder wear, seems like the accident has worsened an already present failure,I now have two routes, rebuild or swap, I would sell it but I’ve done so much to it I’d rather keep it. Any advice?

Hi everyone I was in a small fender bender where someone crashed into my back and pushed me into someone in front of me (unfortunately no pic of the back but it pushed in where it’s circled. My car originally drove off from the crash, then when I got home it idled rough, then when I tried to go to work it started but it would instantly die, or it would drive a few feet then have absolutely zero throttle. Sent it to my mechanic who originally reset my srs code and he took it for a drive and it was fine. Then I come to pick it up and otw home it dies on me. Now we’re stumped as to what could be wrong, fuel trims are good, spark is good, there is a pcv vacuum leak but that shouldn’t be the reason it won’t even start anymore right? Motor is healthy since my last compression check but we’re going to go deeper into it, no specific codes to go off of either, any advice on maybe a delete I can do for certain electronics? I just want my baby driving again. Any help would be much appreciated. If my motor is good and spark and fuel could it really just be pcv? Anyone dealt with this before?
