Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather all necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cool.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts.

2. Replace Spark Plug and Ignition Coil

  • Spark Plug Replacement:

    • Remove the engine cover if applicable.
    • Remove the spark plug wire or ignition coil connector from cylinder 2.
    • Use a spark plug socket and ratchet to remove the spark plug from cylinder 2.
    • Inspect the old spark plug for wear and gap.
    • Install a new spark plug (ensure proper gap per manufacturer specifications).
    • Torque the spark plug to the manufacturer's specifications (typically around 13-16 lb-ft).
  • Ignition Coil Replacement:

    • If the ignition coil is faulty, remove the ignition coil from cylinder 2 by unbolting it and pulling it straight out.
    • Install the new ignition coil and secure it with bolts to the manufacturer's torque specifications (typically around 5-7 lb-ft).
    • Reconnect the ignition coil connector.

3. Test and Replace Fuel Injector (if necessary)

  • Remove the fuel injector connector from cylinder 2.
  • Use a noid light to verify the injector is receiving the correct signal.
  • If the injector is not functioning correctly, remove it by unbolting the fuel rail and lifting it off.
  • Replace the faulty fuel injector with a new one, ensuring to lubricate the O-rings for proper sealing.
  • Reassemble the fuel rail and reconnect the fuel injector connector.

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
