Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety during repairs.
2. Inspect and Replace Components

A. Gas Cap

  • Remove the gas cap and inspect for cracks or wear.
  • Replace with a new OEM gas cap if necessary.

B. Air Filter

  • Open the air filter housing.
  • Remove the old air filter and replace it with a new one.

C. Ignition Components

  • Remove the engine cover if applicable.
  • Check and replace spark plugs:
    • Use a spark plug socket to remove old plugs, check gap specifications, and install new plugs with appropriate torque (usually 13-15 lb-ft).
  • Inspect and replace ignition coils if needed:
    • Disconnect the electrical connector, remove the mounting bolts, and replace with new coils.

D. Fuel System

  • Test the fuel pressure using a fuel pressure gauge.
  • If pressure is low, inspect the fuel pump and replace if faulty.
  • Clean or replace fuel injectors if they are clogged.
3. Clear Codes and Reconnect Battery
  • Use the OBD-II scanner to clear the trouble codes.
  • Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
