Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather tools and parts needed for the repair.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.

Tools Required:

  • OBD-II scanner
  • Spark plug socket and ratchet
  • Compression tester
  • Multimeter
  • Wrench set
  • Torque wrench

2. Replace Spark Plug

  • Remove the ignition coil from cylinder 2 by unfastening any retaining clips or bolts.
  • Disconnect the electrical connector from the ignition coil.
  • Using a spark plug socket, remove the old spark plug from cylinder 2.
  • Inspect the spark plug hole for debris and clean if necessary.
  • Install the new spark plug, hand-tighten it, then torque it to the manufacturer’s specifications (usually around 13-15 lb-ft).
  • Reattach the ignition coil and reconnect the electrical connector.

3. Test and Replace Ignition Coil (if needed)

  • Use the multimeter to check the resistance of the ignition coil for cylinder 2. Compare readings to manufacturer specifications.
  • If the coil is faulty, remove it and replace it with a new one.
  • Reinstall the ignition coil and ensure it is securely connected.

4. Check Fuel Injector

  • Remove the fuel injector from cylinder 2 by disconnecting the electrical connector and unfastening any retaining clips.
  • Inspect the injector for clogs; clean or replace it if necessary.
  • Reinstall the fuel injector, ensuring it is properly seated and secured.

5. Perform Compression Test

  • Remove the spark plug from cylinder 2.
  • Insert the compression tester into the spark plug hole and crank the engine to take a reading.
  • Compare the reading with the manufacturer's specifications. If the compression is low, further investigation may be needed for internal engine issues.

Safety Warnings:

  • Always disconnect the battery before working on the ignition system.
  • Allow the engine to cool before performing any work on engine components.

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
