Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety.
2. Inspect and Replace Engine Mounts
  1. Remove Engine Mount Bolts:

    • Use a socket set to remove bolts securing the engine mount.
    • Ensure the engine is supported with a jack or engine hoist.
  2. Replace Engine Mounts:

    • Install new engine mounts in the same position as the old ones.
    • Torque the bolts to manufacturer specifications (usually around 40-50 ft-lbs, check service manual).
3. Clean or Replace Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils
  1. Remove Spark Plugs:

    • Use a spark plug socket to remove each spark plug.
    • Inspect for carbon buildup or wear.
  2. Install New Spark Plugs:

    • Gap the new spark plugs according to specifications.
    • Torque to manufacturer specifications (usually around 13-16 ft-lbs).
  3. Check Ignition Coils:

    • If coils are damaged, replace them. Remove the electrical connector and bolt, then replace.
4. Address Vacuum Leaks
  1. Inspect Hoses:

    • Check all vacuum hoses for cracks or disconnections.
    • Replace any damaged hoses.
  2. Test for Leaks:

    • Use a smoke machine or carburetor cleaner to identify leaks around the intake manifold.
5. Clean Throttle Body
  1. Remove Throttle Body:

    • Disconnect the air intake and electrical connectors.
    • Remove the bolts securing the throttle body.
  2. Clean Interior:

    • Use throttle body cleaner and a soft cloth to remove carbon buildup.
    • Reassemble and reconnect all components.
