Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools: OBD-II scanner, fuel pressure gauge, socket set, multimeter, and basic hand tools.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool.
2. Address Fuel Delivery Issues

  1. Check Fuel Pump Operation

    • Locate the fuel pump relay and check for proper function.
    • If necessary, replace the fuel pump. (Refer to repair manual for specific steps)

  2. Replace Fuel Filter

    • Disconnect the battery.
    • Relieve the fuel system pressure by removing the fuel pump fuse and starting the engine until it stalls.
    • Disconnect fuel lines from the filter and remove the old filter.
    • Install the new filter, ensuring proper orientation.
    • Reconnect fuel lines and battery.
3. Inspect and Replace Ignition Components

  1. Inspect Spark Plugs

    • Remove the spark plug wires and unscrew the spark plugs using a socket.
    • Check for wear and replace if necessary with OEM specifications.
    • Torque new plugs to manufacturer specifications (typically around 13 lb-ft).

  2. Check Ignition Coils

    • Remove the ignition coils and test with a multimeter for resistance.
    • Replace any faulty coils.
4. Test and Replace Sensors

  1. Test Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)

    • Disconnect the TPS connector.
    • Use a multimeter to check the resistance across the terminals while moving the throttle.
    • Replace if readings are inconsistent with specifications.

  2. Inspect Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor

    • Disconnect the MAF sensor and clean it using MAF cleaner.
    • Reinstall and check if the stalling issue persists.
