Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts before starting the repair.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical issues during repairs.

2. Inspect and Replace Air Filter

• Sub-steps:
  1. Locate the air filter housing, usually near the front of the engine bay.
  2. Open the housing by unclipping or unscrewing it, depending on the design.
  3. Remove the old air filter and check for dirt or damage.
  4. Install a new air filter, ensuring it fits snugly in the housing.
  5. Reassemble the air filter housing and secure it.

3. Clean Throttle Body

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the intake duct connected to the throttle body by loosening the clamps.
  2. Use throttle body cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the throttle plate and surrounding area.
  3. Ensure the throttle plate operates smoothly without sticking.
  4. Reconnect the intake duct and secure it with clamps.

4. Check and Replace Fuel Filter (if necessary)

• Sub-steps:
  1. Locate the fuel filter, usually along the fuel line under the vehicle or in the engine bay.
  2. Use a wrench to disconnect the fuel lines from the filter, taking precautions to avoid fuel spills.
  3. Remove the old fuel filter and replace it with a new one, ensuring correct orientation.
  4. Reconnect the fuel lines and check for leaks.

5. Inspect Transmission Fluid

• Sub-steps:
  1. Locate the transmission dipstick, typically found near the back of the engine bay.
  2. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, and reinsert it to check the fluid level.
  3. If low, top up with the manufacturer-recommended transmission fluid.
  4. If the fluid is dark or has a burnt smell, consider performing a transmission fluid change.
