Solution

1. Preparation

Gather tools: OBD-II scanner, fuel pressure gauge, multimeter, socket set, and cleaning supplies.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cool.

2. Address Fuel Delivery Issues

Check Fuel Pressure:
- Connect the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
- Start the engine and observe the pressure reading; it should be within manufacturer specifications (usually around 50-60 psi).
- If pressure is low, inspect the fuel pump and fuel filter for blockages or failures.
Replace Fuel Filter (if necessary):
- Locate the fuel filter (refer to the service manual for exact location).
- Relieve fuel system pressure by removing the fuel pump fuse and starting the engine until it stalls.
- Disconnect fuel lines and remove the old filter.
- Install the new filter in the correct orientation and reconnect fuel lines.

3. Clean or Replace Idle Air Control Valve (IAC)

Remove IAC:
- Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts.
- Locate the IAC (typically near the throttle body).
- Remove the electrical connector and bolts securing the IAC.
- Clean the IAC with throttle body cleaner or replace it if it appears damaged.

4. Inspect and Clean Throttle Body

Throttle Body Cleaning:
- Remove the intake duct connected to the throttle body.
- Spray throttle body cleaner inside the throttle body while opening the throttle plate manually.
- Wipe clean with a lint-free cloth and ensure no debris falls into the intake.

5. Reassemble and Test

Reconnect all components removed during the process.
Reconnect the battery and clear any trouble codes using the OBD-II scanner.
Start the engine and allow it to idle; check for any irregularities.
