Solution

1. Preparation

• Tools Required: OBD-II scanner, socket set, jack stands, safety glasses, gloves.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool.

2. Inspect and Replace Faulty Catalytic Converter

• Sub-steps:
  1. Raise the vehicle using a jack and secure it on jack stands.
  2. Locate the catalytic converter in the exhaust system.
  3. Use a socket set to remove the bolts securing the catalytic converter to the exhaust pipes.
  4. Inspect the catalytic converter for signs of damage, such as cracks or excessive soot build-up.
  5. If damaged, replace the catalytic converter with a new component, ensuring all gaskets are replaced.
  6. Reinstall and torque the bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications.

3. Check and Replace Fuel Injectors (if necessary)

• Sub-steps:
  1. Relieve fuel system pressure by removing the fuel pump fuse and starting the engine until it stalls.
  2. Disconnect the fuel lines and electrical connectors from the fuel injectors.
  3. Remove the fuel injectors using a socket set.
  4. Inspect the injectors for leaks or clogs; replace if necessary.
  5. Install new injectors, ensuring proper seating and connections.

4. Fuel System Cleaning

• Sub-steps:
  1. Add a high-quality fuel system cleaner to the fuel tank according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. Fill the tank with fuel to ensure the cleaner is adequately mixed.
  3. Drive the vehicle to allow the cleaner to circulate through the fuel system.
