Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.
2. Inspect and Replace Engine Mounts
  • Sub-steps:
    • Use a jack to support the engine gently.
    • Remove the bolts securing the engine mounts to the engine block.
    • Check for any signs of cracking or excessive wear in the mounts.
    • Install new engine mounts, ensuring they are aligned properly.
    • Torque bolts to manufacturer specifications (consult service manual for specific values).
3. Replace Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils
  • Sub-steps:
    • Remove the ignition coil cover (if applicable) by unbolting it.
    • Disconnect the electrical connectors from each ignition coil.
    • Remove the ignition coils from the spark plug wells.
    • Unscrew and remove the old spark plugs using a spark plug socket.
    • Install new spark plugs, ensuring they are gapped correctly (refer to service manual).
    • Reinstall the ignition coils and reconnect the electrical connectors.
4. Check and Repair Fuel Delivery System
  • Sub-steps:
    • Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
    • Start the engine and check the fuel pressure reading (compare with specifications).
    • If pressure is low, inspect the fuel pump and filter for blockages or failures.
    • Replace any malfunctioning components as necessary.
    • Recheck fuel pressure after repairs.
