Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety.

2. Replace Spark Plugs

1. Remove the engine cover (if applicable) using a socket set.
2. Disconnect the ignition coils from the spark plugs.
3. Use a spark plug socket to remove the old spark plugs.
4. Install new spark plugs, ensuring they are gapped correctly to manufacturer specifications.
5. Reconnect the ignition coils and replace the engine cover.

3. Inspect and Replace Ignition Coils

1. Remove the ignition coils from the spark plugs.
2. Use a multimeter to test each coil for primary and secondary resistance.
3. Replace any faulty coils with new ones, ensuring proper seating and connection.
4. Reinstall the ignition coils and reconnect any electrical connectors.

4. Clean or Replace Fuel Injectors

1. Remove the fuel rail from the engine, detaching any necessary electrical connectors and fuel lines.
2. Inspect fuel injectors for clogs; use fuel injector cleaner if necessary, or replace injectors if they are damaged.
3. Reassemble the fuel rail with new gaskets and reconnect it to the engine.

5. Perform Compression Test

1. Remove spark plugs to access the cylinders.
2. Use a compression tester to measure the compression in each cylinder.
3. Document the readings; compare them to manufacturer specifications to identify any issues.
4. Address any cylinders with low compression by investigating further (e.g., checking valves, head gasket).
