1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts needed for repairs.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts.

Tools Required:

• OBD-II scanner
• Socket set
• Torque wrench
• Fuel pressure gauge
• Screwdrivers
• Multimeter

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

• Remove the ignition coil cover if applicable.
• Unplug the ignition coils and remove them using the socket set.
• Extract the spark plugs using a spark plug socket.
• Inspect for wear or fouling and replace with new spark plugs (ensure correct gap according to the manufacturer’s specifications).
• Reinstall the ignition coils and reconnect them.

3. Check and Replace Ignition Coils (if needed)

• If the coils are found to be faulty during inspection, replace them with OEM or high-quality aftermarket parts.
• Ensure the connection is secure and reinstall the coil cover.

4. Test Fuel Pressure

• Connect the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail test port.
