• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the engine cover if necessary.
  2. Carefully disconnect the ignition coil connectors.
  3. Remove the ignition coils using a socket set.
  4. Remove the spark plugs using a spark plug socket.
  5. Inspect the old spark plugs for wear and replace them if necessary.
  6. Install new spark plugs, ensuring the proper gap is set (typically 0.044 inches for Honda).
  7. Reinstall ignition coils and reconnect the connectors.

3. Check and Replace Ignition Coils

• Sub-steps:
  1. Use a multimeter to test the primary and secondary resistance of each ignition coil.
  2. If any coil is out of specification, remove it and replace with a new one.
  3. Ensure proper seating of the new coil and reconnect the electrical connector.

4. Inspect and Clean Fuel Injectors

5. Check Vacuum Lines and Engine Compression

• Sub-steps:
  1. Visually inspect all vacuum lines for cracks or disconnections.
  2. Replace any damaged lines.
  3. Perform a compression test on each cylinder. If compression is low, investigate further for potential head gasket issues or valve problems.
