Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and parts required for the repair.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety.
  • Allow the engine to cool down if it was recently running.
2. Address Faulty Components

A. Replace Spark Plugs

  • Remove the ignition coil connectors and the coils.
  • Use a spark plug socket to remove the old spark plugs.
  • Install new spark plugs with a torque specification of 13 lb-ft (18 Nm).
  • Reconnect the ignition coils and connectors.

B. Clean or Replace Mass Airflow Sensor

  • Disconnect the MAF sensor electrical connector and remove it from the air intake.
  • Use MAF cleaner to clean the sensor element carefully.
  • If damaged, replace with a new MAF sensor and reconnect the connector.

C. Inspect Fuel Injectors

  • Disconnect the fuel pump relay to relieve fuel pressure.
  • Remove the fuel rail and inspect the injectors for clogs or leaks.
  • Clean the injectors using an ultrasonic cleaner if necessary; replace if damaged.
3. Reassemble and Test
  • Reattach all components removed during the process.
  • Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
  • Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature.
