Solution

1. Preparation

Gather tools: OBD-II scanner, fuel pressure gauge, socket set, cleaning supplies (throttle body cleaner), multimeter.
Disconnect the battery to ensure safety during the repair.

2. Clean the Throttle Body

Sub-steps:
1. Remove the throttle body from the intake manifold using the socket set.
2. Spray throttle body cleaner onto a cloth and clean the inside of the throttle body.
3. Reattach the throttle body, ensuring the gasket is in good condition and properly seated.

3. Test and Replace the Idle Air Control Valve (if necessary)

Sub-steps:
1. Locate the IAC valve on the intake manifold.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector and remove the valve using the socket set.
3. Test the IAC valve using a multimeter to check for proper resistance.
4. If faulty, replace with a new IAC valve and reconnect the electrical connector.

4. Check Fuel Pressure

Sub-steps:
1. Connect the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
2. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (do not start the engine) and check the fuel pressure reading.
3. Compare the reading with manufacturer specifications; replace the fuel pump if the pressure is low.
