Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts.
• Allow the engine to cool before working on it.

2. Inspect and Replace Ignition Components

• Inspect Spark Plugs:
  • Remove spark plugs using a socket wrench.
  • Check for wear, carbon buildup, or damage. Replace if necessary.
• Replace Ignition Coils:
  • Disconnect the electrical connector from each ignition coil.
  • Remove the bolts securing the ignition coils and lift them out.
  • Install new ignition coils, ensuring they are seated correctly.
  • Reconnect the electrical connectors.

3. Check and Clean Fuel System

• Test Fuel Pressure:
  • Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
  • Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (do not start the engine) and check the pressure against manufacturer specifications.
• Clean Fuel Injectors:
  • Use a fuel injector cleaning kit to clean the injectors if pressure is low or if they appear clogged.

4. Inspect Air Intake System

• Check for Vacuum Leaks:
  • Inspect all hoses and gaskets for signs of wear or leaks.
  • Replace any damaged hoses or gaskets to prevent air leaks.

5. Perform Compression Test

• Compression Testing:
  • Remove all spark plugs.
  • Insert the compression tester into the first cylinder and crank the engine.
  • Record the pressure and repeat for all cylinders, comparing results to manufacturer specifications.

6. Verify Engine Timing

• Check Timing Belt/Chain:
  • Remove any covers to access the timing belt or chain.
  • Verify alignment with the timing marks and adjust if necessary.
