Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface, and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the battery to avoid electrical shocks.

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench
• Remove the engine cover (if applicable).
• Disconnect the ignition coil connectors and remove the ignition coils.
• Remove the old spark plugs using a spark plug socket.
• Inspect the spark plugs for signs of wear or fouling; replace if necessary.
• Install new spark plugs, ensuring to torque them to the manufacturer’s specifications (typically 20-25 Nm).
• Reinstall the ignition coils and reconnect the connectors.

3. Check and Replace Ignition Coils (if necessary)

• If the ignition coils show signs of damage or wear, replace them.
• Tools Required: Socket set
• Remove the faulty ignition coil and install a new one, ensuring it clicks into place.

4. Inspect Fuel System

• Tools Required: Fuel pressure gauge
• Connect the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
• Turn the ignition to the ON position (do not start the engine) to check the fuel pressure.
• If pressure is below specifications, inspect the fuel pump and filter for blockages or failure.

5. Check for Vacuum Leaks

• Inspect all vacuum lines for cracks or disconnections.
• Use a smoke machine or carburetor cleaner to identify leaks.
• Replace or repair any damaged vacuum lines found.

6. Reconnect Battery and Clear Codes
