• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the engine cover if applicable.
  2. Disconnect the ignition coils from the spark plugs.
  3. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs.
  4. Inspect the spark plugs for wear and ensure the gap is within specifications (consult the owner’s manual).
  5. Replace any damaged or worn spark plugs with new ones, ensuring proper torque (typically 13-16 ft-lbs).
  6. Reconnect the ignition coils and engine cover.

3. Check and Replace Ignition Coils

6. Verify Fuel Pressure

• Sub-steps:
  1. Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
  2. Turn the ignition to the "on" position without starting the engine to check the pressure.
  3. Compare the reading to the manufacturer’s specifications and replace the fuel pump if pressure is low.
