Solution

1. Preparation

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

2. Replace Spark Plug

• Tools Required: Spark plug socket, ratchet, torque wrench.
• Remove the ignition coil cover if applicable.
• Disconnect the ignition coil connector and remove the ignition coil from cylinder 1.
• Using a spark plug socket, remove the spark plug from cylinder 1.
• Inspect the old spark plug for signs of wear or damage (e.g., excessive carbon buildup).
• Install a new spark plug, ensuring it is gapped correctly according to the manufacturer’s specifications (typically 0.043 inches for many Honda vehicles).
• Torque the spark plug to the manufacturer's specification (usually around 13 lb-ft).

3. Replace Ignition Coil

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench.
• After removing the ignition coil, visually inspect it for cracks or carbon tracking.
• Install the new ignition coil onto cylinder 1, aligning it correctly.
• Torque the ignition coil mounting bolts to the specified torque (typically around 8 lb-ft).
• Reconnect the ignition coil connector.

4. Inspect and Clean Fuel Injector

• Tools Required: Fuel injector cleaning kit (optional), socket set.
• Remove the fuel rail to access the injector for cylinder 1.
• Inspect the fuel injector for blockages and clean it if necessary using a fuel injector cleaner or replace it if defective.
• Reinstall the fuel rail and ensure all connections are secure.

5. Reassemble and Reconnect Battery

• Reinstall any components removed during the process (e.g., engine cover).
• Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
