• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
• Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent electrical shock.

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the ignition coil covers if applicable.
  2. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs.
  3. Inspect the condition of the spark plugs; replace if they are fouled or worn.
  4. Gap new spark plugs to manufacturer specifications (typically around 0.028-0.031 inches).
  5. Install new spark plugs and torque to manufacturer specifications (usually around 13-15 lb-ft).

  5. Reconnect the electrical connectors securely.

4. Verify Fuel Pressure

• Sub-steps:
  1. Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail test port.
  2. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine to check the initial pressure.
  3. Start the engine and observe pressure readings; compare with factory specifications.
  4. Replace the fuel pump or filter if pressure is below specifications.

5. Inspect Intake System

• Sub-steps:
  1. Check the air intake hose for cracks, tears, or loose connections.
  2. Inspect the mass air flow (MAF) sensor for dirt or damage, and clean if necessary.
  3. Ensure the air filter is clean and replace if necessary.
