Solution

1. Preparation

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

2. Inspect and Replace Ignition Components

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, spark plug socket, multimeter.
• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the engine cover if necessary.
  2. Disconnect the ignition coil connectors and unscrew the coils from the cylinder head.
  3. Inspect the spark plugs for wear or carbon buildup; replace if necessary.
  4. Replace faulty ignition coils, ensuring they are securely fastened and the connectors are reattached.
  5. Reinstall the engine cover.

3. Check and Replace Fuel Injectors

• Tools Required: Fuel injector puller, socket set.
• Sub-steps:
  1. Disconnect the fuel pump relay to relieve fuel pressure.
  2. Remove the intake manifold if necessary to access the fuel injectors.
  3. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the fuel injectors.
  4. Use a fuel injector puller to remove the injectors from the fuel rail.
  5. Inspect the O-rings and replace if damaged; install new or cleaned injectors.
  6. Reassemble the intake manifold and reconnect the fuel pump relay.

4. Perform a Compression Test

• Tools Required: Compression tester.
• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove all spark plugs to allow easier cranking.
  2. Insert the compression tester into the spark plug hole of each cylinder.
  3. Crank the engine and record the compression readings for each cylinder.
  4. If any cylinder shows significantly lower compression, further investigation is needed, such as checking for valve issues or head gasket leaks.
