Solution

1. Preparation

  • Tools Required: OBD-II scanner, socket set, torque wrench, multimeter, fuel pressure gauge.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical issues during the repair.

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

  • Remove the engine cover (if applicable) using a socket set.
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Remove the ignition coil connectors by pressing the release tab.
    2. Unbolt the ignition coils and set them aside.
    3. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs.
    4. Inspect the spark plugs for wear; replace with OEM plugs if necessary.
    5. Torque new spark plugs to the manufacturer’s specifications (usually around 20 Nm).

3. Check and Replace Ignition Coils

  • Tools Required: Torque wrench, socket set.
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Inspect the ignition coils for cracks or damage.
    2. Test each coil with a multimeter to ensure it is within the specified resistance range.
    3. Replace any faulty ignition coils with OEM parts.
    4. Reinstall coils, ensuring they are seated properly and torque bolts to manufacturer specifications.

4. Inspect and Clean Fuel Injectors

  • Tools Required: Fuel pressure gauge, injector cleaning kit (if necessary).
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail to check for adequate pressure; it should match manufacturer specifications.
    2. If pressure is low, consider replacing the fuel filter and testing the fuel pump.
    3. If injectors are suspected to be clogged, use an injector cleaning kit according to the manufacturer's instructions.
    4. Reinstall injectors and ensure all connectors are secured.

5. Vacuum Leak Inspection
