Solution

1. Preparation

• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shock.

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, spark plug socket.
• Remove the engine cover if necessary.
• Use the spark plug socket to carefully remove each spark plug.
• Inspect for wear or damage; replace if necessary.
• Install new spark plugs and torque to manufacturer specifications (typically around 25 Nm for BMW spark plugs).

3. Check and Replace Ignition Coils

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench.
• Remove the electrical connector from each ignition coil.
• Unscrew the ignition coil using the socket set and remove it from the cylinder head.
• Install new ignition coils, ensuring they are seated properly.
• Reattach the electrical connectors and torque to manufacturer specifications.

4. Inspect Fuel Injectors

• Tools Required: Fuel pressure gauge, basic hand tools.
• Remove the fuel rail if necessary to access the injectors.
• Check for clogs or leaks; clean or replace injectors as needed.
• Reinstall the fuel rail and ensure all connections are secure.

5. Check Vacuum Lines

• Inspect all vacuum lines visually for cracks or disconnections.
• Replace damaged vacuum lines with new ones to prevent air leaks.

6. Measure Fuel Pressure

• Tools Required: Fuel pressure gauge.
• Connect the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
• Turn the ignition key to the ON position (without starting the engine) and check the fuel pressure reading.
• Compare the reading to the manufacturer’s specifications; replace the fuel pump if the pressure is low.
