Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather tools and parts needed.
  • Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shock.
  • Allow the engine to cool completely.

2. Replace Spark Plugs

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Remove the engine cover (if applicable) using a socket set.
    2. Disconnect the ignition coils by pulling the connectors off.
    3. Remove the ignition coils using a socket.
    4. Use a spark plug socket to remove old spark plugs.
    5. Install new spark plugs (torque to manufacturer specification, usually around 13 lb-ft).
    6. Reinstall ignition coils and connectors.

3. Inspect and Replace Ignition Coils (if necessary)

  • Sub-steps:
    1. If any ignition coils were found defective, disconnect the battery again.
    2. Remove the faulty ignition coils using a socket.
    3. Install new ignition coils (ensure they are compatible with the CR-V).
    4. Reconnect the battery.

4. Check and Clean Fuel Injectors (if necessary)

  • Sub-steps:
    1. If fuel injectors are suspected of malfunction, remove them from the intake manifold.
    2. Use a fuel injector cleaner and a cleaning kit to flush each injector.
    3. Reinstall cleaned or new injectors back into place.

5. Inspect for Vacuum Leaks

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Visually inspect vacuum hoses for cracks or disconnections.
    2. Use a smoke machine or carburetor cleaner to identify leaks around the intake manifold and hoses.
    3. Replace any damaged hoses and reseal the intake manifold if necessary.
