2. Addressing Faulty Components

A. Replace Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils (if necessary)

  • Remove the engine cover (if applicable) using a socket set.
  • Disconnect the ignition coil connectors.
  • Remove the ignition coils by unscrewing them and gently pulling them out.
  • Remove old spark plugs using a spark plug socket, being careful not to drop debris into the cylinder.
  • Install new spark plugs, torquing to the manufacturer’s specifications (usually around 15-20 ft-lbs).
  • Reinstall the ignition coils and reconnect the electrical connectors.

B. Check and Replace Vacuum Hoses (if damaged)

  • Inspect all vacuum hoses for cracks or disconnections.
  • Remove any damaged hoses and replace them with new ones.
  • Ensure all connections are secure.
3. Fuel System Inspection
  • Inspect the fuel injectors for clogs or leaks.
