Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
• Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.

2. Inspect and Replace Engine Mounts

• Sub-steps:
  • Locate the engine mounts (usually located on the front and sides of the engine).
  • Visually inspect for cracks or excessive wear.
  • If damaged, support the engine with a jack and remove the bolts securing the mounts.
  • Replace with new engine mounts and torque bolts to manufacturer specifications (typically 40-55 ft-lbs).

3. Check and Replace Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils

• Sub-steps:
  • Remove the engine cover if necessary.
  • Disconnect the ignition coils and remove them.
  • Replace spark plugs with new ones, ensuring the gap is set to manufacturer specifications (usually around 0.043 inches).
  • Reinstall ignition coils and secure them.

4. Clean Throttle Body

• Sub-steps:
  • Remove the intake duct to access the throttle body.
  • Use throttle body cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the inside of the throttle body.
  • Ensure the throttle plate moves freely after cleaning before reassembling.

5. Inspect Tires and Wheels

• Sub-steps:
  • Check tire pressure and inflate to the recommended PSI.
  • Inspect tires for signs of uneven wear and replace if necessary.
  • Have wheels balanced and aligned by a professional if misalignment is suspected.
