• Reconnect the electrical connectors securely.

4. Check and Replace Fuel Injectors (if needed)

• Locate the fuel rail and disconnect the fuel supply line.
• Use a fuel injector puller to remove injectors if they are suspected to be faulty.
• Clean or replace fuel injectors as necessary and ensure they are properly seated in the fuel rail.
• Reconnect the fuel supply line and check for leaks.

5. Reassemble and Test

• Reinstall any components removed during the repair process, including the engine cover.
• Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
• Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature to ensure everything is functioning correctly.
