Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts needed.
• Disconnect the battery to ensure safety.
• Allow the engine to cool down before working on it.

2. Inspect and Replace Ignition Components

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, spark plug socket, dielectric grease.
• Remove engine cover (if applicable).
• Disconnect ignition coil connectors and unscrew coils from the cylinder head.
• Remove spark plugs using a spark plug socket; inspect for wear or deposits.
• Replace spark plugs with OEM specifications (check gap).
• Apply dielectric grease to coil connectors, then reinstall coils and reconnect electrical connections.
• Torque ignition coils to manufacturer specifications.

3. Check and Repair Fuel System

• Tools Required: Fuel pressure gauge, line wrench.
• Locate the fuel pressure test port on the fuel rail.
• Connect the fuel pressure gauge and turn the ignition to the 'ON' position (do not start the engine) to check for proper fuel pressure as specified in the service manual.
• If pressure is low, check the fuel pump and filter for blockage or failure. Replace as necessary.

4. Inspect and Repair Air Intake System

• Tools Required: Screwdrivers, socket set, flashlight.
• Visually inspect the air intake hose for cracks or disconnections.
• Clean the throttle body and MAF sensor with appropriate cleaners.
• Replace any damaged hoses or components.

5. Vacuum Leak Inspection

• Tools Required: Smoke machine or soapy water solution.
• Introduce smoke into the intake system to identify any vacuum leaks.
• Repair any identified leaks with appropriate sealants or replacement hoses.

6. Compression Test (if necessary)

• Tools Required: Compression tester.
• Remove spark plugs to prevent damage during testing.
• Insert the compression tester into each cylinder and crank the engine.
• Compare compression readings to manufacturer specifications; replace head gasket or perform valve repairs if readings are low.
