Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather tools and parts required for the repair.
  • Disconnect the battery negative terminal to prevent electrical shorts.
  • Allow the engine to cool down if it has been running.

2. Inspect and Replace Ignition Coil

  1. Remove the Engine Cover (if applicable)
    • Use a socket set to remove bolts securing the engine cover.
  2. Disconnect the Ignition Coil
    • Unplug the electrical connector from the ignition coil on cylinder 3.
  3. Remove the Ignition Coil
    • Unscrew the ignition coil using a socket wrench and lift it out.
  4. Install New Ignition Coil
    • Place the new ignition coil into the cylinder head and torque it to the manufacturer’s specification (usually around 15-20 Nm).
  5. Reconnect the Electrical Connector
    • Ensure the connector clicks into place securely.

3. Inspect and Replace Spark Plug

  1. Remove the Spark Plug
    • Using a spark plug socket, unscrew and remove the spark plug from cylinder 3.
  2. Inspect the Spark Plug
    • Look for signs of fouling, wear, or incorrect gap. Replace if necessary.
  3. Install New Spark Plug
    • Set the gap according to manufacturer specifications (usually around 0.028-0.031 inches).
    • Hand-tighten the spark plug, then torque it to the manufacturer’s specifications (typically around 20-30 Nm).

4. Inspect Fuel Injector

  1. Remove Fuel Injector Connector
    • Unplug the fuel injector connector on cylinder 3.
  2. Test the Fuel Injector
    • Use a multimeter to check for proper resistance (should be around 12-16 ohms).
  3. Replace Fuel Injector (if faulty)
    • Remove any retaining clips and unscrew the injector from the rail.
    • Install a new injector, ensuring proper seating and sealing.
