Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is off.
• Disconnect the battery to avoid electrical shorts while working.

2. Replace Fuel Filter

• Locate the fuel filter, typically found along the fuel line.
• Use a wrench to disconnect the fuel lines from the filter (be cautious of fuel spillage).
• Remove the old fuel filter and install the new one, ensuring proper orientation.
• Reconnect the fuel lines securely.

3. Clean Throttle Body

• Remove the air intake duct to access the throttle body.
• Use throttle body cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the throttle plate and surrounding areas.
• Ensure no cleaner residue is left behind before reassembling.

4. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

• Remove the ignition coil or spark plug wires to access the spark plugs.
• Use a spark plug socket to remove the old spark plugs.
• Check the gap on the new spark plugs and install them to the manufacturer’s specifications.
• Reattach the ignition coils or spark plug wires.

5. Check and Replace Air Filter
