Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather all necessary tools and parts.

  • Visually inspect each injector for clogs or leaks.
  • Clean or replace any faulty injectors.

6. Examine Exhaust System

  • Inspect the exhaust manifold and pipes for any visible leaks or cracks.
  • Repair or replace any damaged components to ensure proper exhaust flow.
