Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool.
  • Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts.
2. Address Error Codes
  • Use the OBD-II scanner to read and document the error codes.
  • Clear the codes and take the vehicle for a short drive to see if they return.
3. Inspect and Replace Components

A. Gas Cap

  • Remove the gas cap and inspect for cracks or damage.
  • Replace with a new gas cap if necessary.

B. Spark Plugs

  • Remove ignition coil covers using a socket set.
  • Take out spark plugs using a spark plug socket; inspect for wear.
  • Replace any worn or damaged spark plugs with new ones, ensuring proper torque (typically 13-15 lb-ft).

C. Vacuum Leaks

  • Inspect all vacuum hoses for cracks or disconnections.
  • Replace any damaged hoses and ensure all connections are secure.
4. Fuel System Check
  • Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
  • Check for proper fuel pressure (consult manufacturer specifications).
  • Inspect for leaks in fuel lines; replace any damaged lines.
5. Final Assembly and Testing
  • Reconnect the battery.
  • Start the engine and observe for any irregularities or returning check engine light.
  • Re-scan with the OBD-II scanner to ensure no new codes are present.
