Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and parts needed for the repair.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.
2. Clean the Throttle Body
  • Remove the air intake duct connected to the throttle body using a socket set.
  • Use throttle body cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the throttle plate and surrounding areas.
  • Reattach the air intake duct securely.
3. Replace Spark Plugs
  • Remove the ignition coils by unscrewing the retaining bolts (use a torque wrench to tighten to manufacturer specifications).
  • Pull out the ignition coils and remove the old spark plugs using a spark plug socket.
  • Install new spark plugs, ensuring they are gapped correctly according to specifications.
  • Reinstall the ignition coils and secure them with the retaining bolts.
4. Inspect and Repair Vacuum Leaks
  • Visually inspect all vacuum hoses for cracks or disconnections.
  • Replace any damaged hoses with new ones.
  • Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
5. Verify Fuel System
  • Connect the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
  • Turn the ignition key to the ON position (do not start the engine) to check the fuel pressure reading against manufacturer specifications.
  • If pressure is low, consider replacing the fuel pump or fuel filter.
