Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts before starting the repair.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety.

2. Replace Spark Plugs

• Remove the ignition coils by unbolting them and unplugging the electrical connectors.
• Use a spark plug socket to carefully remove the old spark plugs.
• Inspect the spark plug tubes for oil and debris.
• Install new spark plugs, tightening them to the manufacturer’s specified torque (typically around 23 Nm).
• Reattach the ignition coils and ensure connectors are securely fastened.

3. Replace Ignition Coils (if necessary)

• If ignition coils are found faulty during the diagnostic phase, remove them as described in the previous step.
• Install new ignition coils, ensuring they are compatible with the engine model.
• Connect the electrical connectors and secure them properly.

4. Clean or Replace Fuel Injectors

• If cleaning does not resolve the issue, replace the injectors with new ones.
• Reinstall the fuel rail and ensure proper sealing with new O-rings.

5. Repair Vacuum Leaks

• Inspect all vacuum hoses visually and by touch for signs of wear or damage.
• Replace any damaged or cracked hoses to ensure proper engine function.

6. Reconnect Battery and Clear Codes
