4. Inspect and Repair Vacuum Leaks

• Sub-steps:
  1. Inspect all vacuum hoses and connections for cracks or disconnections.
  2. Replace any damaged hoses.
  3. Use a smoke machine or carb cleaner to detect leaks around the intake manifold.
  4. Re-seal the intake manifold if leaks are found.

5. Check and Clean MAF Sensor

• Sub-steps:
  1. Locate the mass airflow sensor in the intake duct.
  2. Carefully disconnect the electrical connector and remove the sensor.
  3. Clean the MAF sensor with MAF cleaner; do not touch the sensor elements.
