Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather all tools and parts required.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface, and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

• Remove the engine cover if applicable.
• Use a spark plug socket and ratchet to remove the spark plugs.
  • Tools Required: Spark plug socket, ratchet, torque wrench.
• Inspect each spark plug for signs of wear or damage.
• Replace with manufacturer-recommended spark plugs and torque to specifications (typically 18-22 lb-ft).

3. Check and Replace Ignition Coils

• Disconnect the electrical connector from each ignition coil.
• Remove the ignition coil using a socket and ratchet.
• Inspect for any cracks or damage.
• Replace faulty coils with OEM or high-quality aftermarket parts.
  • Tools Required: Socket set, ratchet.

4. Clean or Replace Fuel Injectors

• If necessary, remove the fuel rail to access the injectors.
  • Tools Required: Socket set, fuel line removal tool (if applicable).
• Clean injectors using a fuel injector cleaning kit or replace them if clogged.
• Reinstall the fuel rail ensuring all O-rings are properly seated.

5. Inspect Air Intake System

• Check the intake manifold and hoses for any signs of leaks or cracks.
• Replace any damaged components or hoses.
• Clean the throttle body to ensure proper airflow.

6. Verify Fuel Pressure

• Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
• Turn the ignition on (do not start the engine) and check fuel pressure against specifications (typically around 50-60 psi).
• Replace the fuel pump or filter if pressure is low.
