Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts for the repair.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent any electrical shorts.
• Allow the engine to cool down before starting work.

2. Inspect for Vacuum Leaks

• Use a smoke machine or spray soapy water around the intake manifold, hoses, and connections while the engine is running.
• Listen for a hissing sound or watch for bubbles indicating a leak.
• Tighten or replace any loose or damaged hoses or gaskets found during the inspection.

3. Clean or Replace MAF Sensor

• Remove the MAF sensor from the air intake duct.
• Use MAF sensor cleaner to spray the sensor element. Do not touch the sensor with your fingers.
• Allow it to dry completely before reinstallation.
• If cleaning does not resolve the issue, replace the MAF sensor.

4. Check and Adjust Fuel Pressure

• Attach the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail test port.
• Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (do not start the engine) and read the fuel pressure.
• Compare the reading with the manufacturer’s specifications. If the pressure is low, check the fuel pump and fuel filter.
• If the fuel pressure is satisfactory, proceed to check injectors.

5. Inspect Fuel Injectors

• Remove the fuel rail with injectors attached.
• Check for clogged injectors using a multi-tester or resistance meter.
• Clean injectors with a professional cleaning kit or replace them if necessary.
