Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the vehicle battery to ensure safety during electrical checks.
  • Allow the engine to cool if it has been running.
2. Address Faulty Components

a. Replace Spark Plugs

  • Remove the ignition coil using a socket set.
  • Unscrew and remove the old spark plugs using a spark plug socket.
  • Install new spark plugs, ensuring they are gapped correctly (typically 0.8-1.0 mm for Clio).
  • Reattach the ignition coil and torque to manufacturer's specifications (usually around 10-12 Nm).

b. Clean or Replace MAF Sensor

  • Disconnect the electrical connector from the MAF sensor.
  • Unscrew the sensor from the intake duct and gently remove it.
  • Clean the MAF sensor with MAF cleaner or replace it if damaged.

c. Inspect and Replace TPS (if necessary)

  • Disconnect the battery.
  • Locate the throttle body and unplug the TPS connector.
  • Remove the mounting screws and replace the TPS with a new sensor.
  • Reconnect the battery.
3. Check Fuel System
  • Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
  • Start the engine and monitor the fuel pressure; it should typically be around 3-4 bar.
  • If pressure is low, inspect and replace the fuel pump or fuel filter as needed.
4. Reassemble and Reconnect
  • Once all necessary repairs are made, reassemble any components removed.
  • Reconnect the battery and clear any error codes using the OBD-II scanner.
