Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather diagnostic tools and safety equipment: OBD-II scanner, multimeter, fuel pressure gauge, socket set, torque wrench.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cool.

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

  • Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench.
  • Remove the engine cover if necessary.
  • Disconnect the ignition coil connectors and unbolt the ignition coils.
  • Remove the spark plugs using a spark plug socket.
  • Inspect the spark plugs for wear, deposits, or damage. Replace them if necessary (use OEM specifications for type and gap).
  • Reinstall the spark plugs and ignition coils, ensuring to torque them to the manufacturer's specifications (usually around 13-16 lb-ft).

3. Check and Replace Ignition Coils (if necessary)

  • If misfires are traced to a specific cylinder, replace the corresponding ignition coil.
  • Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench.
  • Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts.
  • Unplug the ignition coil connector and remove the mounting bolts.
  • Install the new ignition coil and reconnect the connector.
  • Reconnect the battery.

4. Fuel System Inspection

  • Check fuel pressure with a fuel pressure gauge.
  • If pressure is low, inspect the fuel pump and filter for clogs or failures.
  • If injectors are suspected, consider cleaning or replacing them, using a fuel injector cleaning kit if necessary.

5. Vacuum Leak Inspection

  • Inspect all vacuum lines and connections for cracks or loose fittings.
  • If a leak is found, replace or reattach the faulty components.
