Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather all necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety.
  • Allow the engine to cool down.

2. Inspect and Replace Ignition Components

  • Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, spark plug socket, multimeter.
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Remove the engine cover if applicable.
    2. Disconnect the ignition coil connectors from each coil.
    3. Remove the ignition coils by unscrewing the retaining bolts.
    4. Inspect spark plugs for wear; replace if necessary. Use OEM spark plugs specified for Mustang S650.
    5. Test ignition coils with a multimeter to ensure they are within specifications. Replace any faulty coils.
    6. Reinstall the ignition coils and connectors, ensuring they are seated properly.

3. Check and Replace Fuel System Components

  • Tools Required: Fuel pressure gauge, basic hand tools.
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Connect the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail service port.
    2. Turn the ignition on without starting the engine and check the fuel pressure. Refer to specifications for proper pressure range.
    3. If pressure is low, check the fuel pump and replace if necessary.
    4. Inspect fuel injectors for clogs or leaks; clean or replace as needed.

4. Inspect Air Intake and Vacuum Lines

  • Tools Required: Basic hand tools.
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Remove the air intake duct and check for blockages or damage.
    2. Inspect the throttle body for carbon buildup and clean if necessary.
    3. Check all vacuum lines for cracks or leaks; replace any damaged hoses.

5. Perform Compression Test

  • Tools Required: Compression tester, spark plug socket.
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Remove all spark plugs to allow for accurate testing.
    2. Install the compression tester in the first cylinder and crank the engine for a few seconds.
    3. Record the reading and repeat for all cylinders.
    4. Compare results to manufacturer specifications; if readings are low, further diagnosis may be required for internal engine components.

Verification

After completing the repair, verify that the issue has been resolved:

  • Test the affected component to ensure it functions correctly
