Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety.

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, spark plug socket.
• Sub-steps:
  1. Locate the spark plug wires and disconnect them carefully.
  2. Use the spark plug socket to remove each spark plug.
  3. Inspect the condition of each plug; replace any plugs that are worn or fouled.
  4. Install new spark plugs and torque them to the manufacturer's specification (typically around 13-16 lb-ft).
  5. Reconnect the spark plug wires.

3. Check and Replace Ignition Coils

• Tools Required: Socket set, multimeter (for testing).
• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the engine cover to access the ignition coils.
  2. Disconnect the electrical connectors from each ignition coil.
  3. Use a multimeter to test each coil for resistance; replace any faulty coils.
  4. Install new ignition coils, ensuring they are seated properly, and reconnect wiring.

4. Inspect and Clean Fuel Injectors

• Tools Required: Fuel injector cleaner kit, basic hand tools.
• Sub-steps:
  1. Access the fuel rail by removing any necessary components.
  2. Disconnect the fuel line and fuel injector connectors.
  3. Remove the fuel injectors from the rail.
  4. Clean injectors using a fuel injector cleaning kit or replace if heavily clogged.
  5. Reassemble the fuel rail and reconnect all components.

5. Conduct a Vacuum Leak Test

• Tools Required: Smoke machine or carburetor cleaner.
• Sub-steps:
  1. Use a smoke machine to introduce smoke into the intake manifold to identify leaks.
  2. Alternatively, spray carburetor cleaner around the intake manifold and listen for changes in engine RPM.
  3. Repair any identified vacuum leaks by replacing gaskets or hoses as necessary.

6. Perform a Compression Test

• Tools Required: Compression tester.
• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the spark plugs to access the cylinders.
  2. Insert the compression tester into the spark plug hole of each cylinder.
  3. Crank the engine and record the compression readings.
  4. Compare readings to manufacturer specifications; replace the head gasket or repair the cylinder as needed.
