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 prevent electrical shock.

2. Inspect and Replace Ignition Components

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, ratchet, spark plug socket
• Remove the engine cover (if applicable) to access ignition coils and spark plugs.
• Disconnect the electrical connectors from each ignition coil.
• Remove the ignition coils by unscrewing the retaining bolts.
• Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs.
• Inspect spark plugs for signs of wear; replace if necessary (spark plug gap should match specifications).
• Install new spark plugs and torque them to the manufacturer's specifications.
• Reinstall ignition coils and reconnect electrical connectors.

3. Inspect and Clean Fuel Injectors

• Tools Required: Fuel injector cleaner, cleaning kit (if applicable)
• Disconnect the fuel rail and remove the fuel injectors.
• Clean the injectors using a fuel injector cleaning kit.
• Inspect O-rings and replace if damaged.
• Reinstall the injectors and fuel rail, ensuring all connections are secure.

4. Check for Vacuum Leaks

• Tools Required: Smoke machine or carburetor cleaner
• Inspect all vacuum lines visually for cracks or disconnections.
• Use a smoke machine to detect leaks in the intake manifold and vacuum lines.
• Repair or replace any damaged vacuum components identified.

5. Verify Fuel Pressure

• Tools Required: Fuel pressure gauge
• Attach the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail service port.
• Turn the ignition key to the "On" position (do not start).
• Check that the fuel pressure reading matches manufacturer specifications.
• If pressure is low, inspect the fuel pump and filter for blockages or failures.
