Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and parts needed.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety during repairs.
  • Allow the engine to cool if it has been running.
2. Inspect and Clean Throttle Body
  • Remove the air intake duct connected to the throttle body.
  • Use throttle body cleaner and a clean cloth to remove carbon deposits.
  • Reinstall the air intake duct and reconnect any sensors.
3. Replace Fuel Filter
  • Locate the fuel filter (check service manual for specific location).
  • Relieve fuel system pressure by removing the fuel pump fuse and starting the engine until it stalls.
  • Disconnect the fuel lines from the filter using appropriate wrenches; be cautious of fuel spillage.
  • Install the new fuel filter, ensuring the flow direction matches the markings.
  • Reconnect the fuel lines and replace the fuel pump fuse.
4. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs
  • Remove the ignition coils using a socket set.
  • Take out the spark plugs using a spark plug socket and inspect for wear or damage.
  • Replace with new spark plugs according to manufacturer specifications (check gap).
  • Reinstall ignition coils and ensure they are securely fastened.
5. Check Transmission Fluid
  • Locate the transmission dipstick and remove it.
  • Inspect the fluid color and consistency; it should be a clear red color.
  • If fluid is low or dirty, drain and replace with new transmission fluid per manufacturer's specifications.
