Repair Time
2-4 hours

Safety Warnings

  • ⚠Disconnect battery before working on electrical systems.
  • ⚠Allow engine to cool before working on any components.

Symptoms

  • •Check engine light illuminated
  • •Engine stalling when coming to a stop
  • •Rough idle when stationary
  • •Loss of power during acceleration
  • •Poor fuel economy
  • •Increased emissions

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Scan for error codes using an OBD-II scanner to identify potential faults.
  2. 2Check engine oil level and condition; low oil can cause stalling.
  3. 3Inspect the air filter for clogs or excessive dirt that could affect airflow.
  4. 4Test the battery and charging system to ensure proper voltage output.
  5. 5Examine fuel pressure with a fuel pressure gauge to check for adequate fuel supply.
  6. 6Inspect the throttle body for carbon buildup or malfunction.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working.
  • Allow the engine to cool before beginning work.

2. Clean or Replace Air Filter

  • Remove the air filter housing cover.
  • Take out the air filter and inspect for dirt and debris.
  • If excessively dirty, replace with a new air filter.
  • Reinstall the air filter and housing cover.

3. Inspect and Clean Throttle Body

  • Locate the throttle body and remove the intake duct connected to it.
  • Use a throttle body cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the throttle plate and surrounding areas.
  • Ensure the throttle plate moves freely and is not sticking.
  • Reassemble the intake duct securely.

4. Test and Replace Fuel Filter (if needed)

  • Locate the fuel filter and relieve fuel pressure by disconnecting the fuel pump fuse and running the engine until it stalls.
  • Disconnect the fuel lines carefully and remove the old fuel filter.
  • Install a new fuel filter and reconnect the fuel lines securely.
  • Reinstall the fuel pump fuse and start the engine to check for leaks.

5. Check and Replace Battery (if necessary)

  • Test the battery voltage with a multimeter; it should read around 12.6 volts when fully charged.
  • If the voltage is low, replace the battery with a new one.
  • Ensure all connections are tight and corrosion-free.

Verification

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

  • Test the affected component to ensure it functions correctly
  • Check for any error codes or warning lights
  • Monitor the vehicle for a few days to ensure the issue does not recur
