Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts.

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

• Remove the ignition coil cover if necessary.
• Disconnect the ignition coil connectors.
• Remove the ignition coils using a socket set.
• Inspect the spark plugs for wear; replace if damaged or fouled.
• Install new spark plugs, ensuring correct torque (typically around 22 Nm).
• Reinstall the ignition coils and reconnect the connectors.

3. Check and Replace Ignition Coils (if necessary)

• Use a multimeter to test the primary and secondary resistance of each ignition coil.
• Replace any coils that do not meet specifications.
• Reinstall any replaced ignition coils as previously instructed.

4. Inspect and Clean Fuel Injectors

• Remove the fuel rail if necessary to access injectors.
• Check fuel injectors for clogs; use a fuel injector cleaner if needed.
• Replace any defective injectors with new ones.

5. Repair Vacuum Leaks

• Visually inspect all vacuum hoses and gaskets for damage.
• Replace any damaged hoses or gaskets to eliminate vacuum leaks.

6. Check Fuel Pressure

• Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
• Start the engine and check that the pressure is within the manufacturer's specifications (typically around 50-60 psi).
• If pressure is low, inspect the fuel pump and fuel filter for blockages or failures.
