Component
Engine
Repair Time
2-4 hours

Safety Warnings

  • ⚠Disconnect the battery before working on electrical systems.
  • ⚠Allow the engine to cool before draining oil or servicing components.

Symptoms

  • •Rough engine idle
  • •Increased engine noise when warmed up
  • •Possible vibrations felt in the cabin
  • •Check engine light illuminated
  • •Loss of power during acceleration
  • •Poor fuel economy

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Scan for error codes using an OBD-II scanner to identify any stored trouble codes.
  2. 2Check engine oil level and condition; low or dirty oil can cause rough engine operation.
  3. 3Inspect the air intake system for any leaks or obstructions that could affect airflow.
  4. 4Perform a visual inspection of spark plugs for wear or fouling.
  5. 5Test fuel pressure to ensure proper fuel delivery to the engine.
  6. 6Check for vacuum leaks using a smoke machine or a visual inspection of hoses and gaskets.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather required tools: OBD-II scanner, socket set, torque wrench, multimeter, and vacuum gauge.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.

2. Change Engine Oil and Filter

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Drain the engine oil using a socket set to remove the oil pan drain plug.
    2. Replace the oil filter using an oil filter wrench. Ensure the rubber O-ring from the old filter is removed.
    3. Reinstall the drain plug and torque to manufacturer's specifications (usually around 20-30 ft-lbs).
    4. Fill the engine with new oil that meets manufacturer specifications (typically 5W-30 for G70) using a funnel.
    5. Start the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes; check for leaks around the oil filter and drain plug.

3. Replace Spark Plugs

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Remove the ignition coil cover using a socket set.
    2. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the ignition coils.
    3. Remove the ignition coils.
    4. Use a spark plug socket to remove the old spark plugs and inspect them for wear.
    5. Install new spark plugs, torque them to the specified value (usually around 15-20 ft-lbs).
    6. Reinstall the ignition coils and reconnect electrical connectors, then reattach the ignition coil cover.

4. Check for Vacuum Leaks

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Inspect all vacuum hoses for cracks or disconnections.
    2. If needed, use a smoke machine to introduce smoke into the intake system to identify leaks.
    3. Replace any damaged hoses or gaskets found during inspection.

5. Fuel System Inspection

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
    2. Turn the ignition on (do not start) to check that the fuel pressure is within the manufacturer’s specified range.
    3. If pressure is low, inspect the fuel pump and filter for issues and replace if necessary.

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

Prevention Tips

To prevent this issue from occurring again:

  • •Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule
  • •Address warning signs early before they develop into major issues
  • •Use quality parts and fluids recommended for your vehicle
  • •Keep detailed records of all repairs and maintenance

Tools & Equipment Required

  • OBD-II scanner
  • Socket set
  • Torque wrench
  • Oil filter wrench
  • Multimeter
  • Vacuum gauge
  • Smoke machine (optional)

Parts Required

  • Engine oil (5W-30)
  • Oil filter
  • Spark plugs
  • Vacuum hoses (if required)
  • Fuel filter (if required)
