Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather all necessary tools and parts before starting the repair.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical systems.
2. Inspect and Clean Throttle Body
  • Remove the air intake duct connected to the throttle body using a socket set.
  • Use throttle body cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the throttle plate and surrounding areas.
  • Reinstall the air intake duct, ensuring all clamps are tight.
3. Replace Fuel Filter
  • Locate the fuel filter (usually under the vehicle near the fuel tank).
  • Relieve fuel system pressure by removing the fuel pump fuse and starting the engine until it stalls.
  • Disconnect the fuel lines from the filter using a fuel line disconnect tool.
  • Install the new fuel filter, ensuring the flow direction matches the markings on the filter.
  • Reconnect the fuel lines and the fuel pump fuse.
4. Replace Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils
  • Remove the engine cover if applicable using a socket set.
  • Disconnect the ignition coil connectors and remove the ignition coils using a socket set.
  • Remove old spark plugs using a spark plug socket; inspect for wear or carbon buildup.
  • Install new spark plugs to the manufacturer’s specified torque (typically 13-15 lb-ft).
  • Reinstall ignition coils and reconnect the electrical connectors.
