Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and parts needed for the repair.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts.
  • Allow the engine to cool before starting work.
2. Air Filter Replacement
  • Remove the air filter housing cover using a socket set.

  • Reattach the air filter housing cover and tighten screws.
3. Fuel Pressure Check
  • Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail service port.
  • Start the engine and observe the pressure reading; it should be within the manufacturer’s specifications.
  • If pressure is low, check fuel pump operation and replace if necessary.
4. Spark Plug Inspection and Replacement
  • Remove the ignition coil or spark plug wires carefully.
  • Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs.
