Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

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

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plug

  • Remove the ignition coil from cylinder 2:
    • Unplug the electrical connector.
    • Unscrew the mounting bolt using a socket set.
  • Remove the spark plug using a spark plug socket and ratchet.
  • Inspect the spark plug for wear; replace if necessary. Use spark plugs that meet OEM specifications.
  • Install the new spark plug and torque it to the manufacturer’s specifications (usually around 15-20 lb-ft).
  • Reinstall the ignition coil and reconnect the electrical connector.

3. Inspect and Replace Ignition Coil

  • If the spark plug is fine, check the ignition coil for faults:
    • Use a multimeter to measure resistance across the ignition coil terminals.
  • If the ignition coil is defective, remove it and replace with a new OEM coil.
  • Reinstall the ignition coil ensuring it clicks into place and reconnect the electrical connector.

4. Inspect and Clean Fuel Injector

  • If the ignition components are fine, check the fuel injector:
    • Remove the fuel injector from the fuel rail (ensure fuel pressure is relieved first).
  • Inspect the injector for clogs or leaks.
  • Clean the fuel injector using a dedicated fuel injector cleaner.
  • Reinstall the fuel injector ensuring proper seating and reconnect the fuel line.

Verification

After completing the repair, verify that the issue has been resolved:

  • Test the affected component to ensure it functions correctly
  • Check for any error codes or warning lights
  • Monitor the vehicle for a few days to ensure the issue does not recur
