Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather tools and parts required for the repair.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts.
  • Allow the engine to cool before starting work.

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

  • Remove the fuel rail to access the injectors.
  • Inspect each injector for clogs and ensure they are clean.
  • If any injectors are faulty, replace them with new ones.
  • Reassemble the fuel rail and reconnect the fuel line and electrical connectors.

5. Perform Compression Test

  • Remove all spark plugs to access the cylinders.
  • Insert a compression gauge into each spark plug hole.
  • Crank the engine to measure the compression for each cylinder.
  • Compare the readings to the manufacturer's specifications; replace any cylinders with low compression.
