Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts.

2. Spark Plug Inspection and Replacement

• Step 1: Remove the engine cover (if applicable) using a socket set.
• Step 2: Disconnect the ignition coils from the spark plugs.
• Step 3: Remove the spark plugs using a spark plug socket and ratchet.
• Step 4: Inspect the spark plugs for wear, carbon buildup, or damage. Replace with OEM replacements if needed, ensuring the gap is set to manufacturer's specifications.

3. Ignition Coil Inspection and Replacement

• Step 1: Test each ignition coil using a multimeter to check for primary and secondary resistance.
• Step 2: If a coil is faulty, remove the electrical connector and unscrew it from the engine.
• Step 3: Install the new ignition coil and reconnect the electrical connector.

4. Fuel Injector Cleaning or Replacement

• Step 1: If injectors are suspected to be clogged, consider using a fuel injector cleaner additive or remove and clean them using an ultrasonic cleaner.
• Step 2: Reinstall the injectors and ensure all connections are secure.

5. Vacuum Leak Inspection

• Step 1: Visually inspect vacuum lines for cracks or disconnections.
• Step 2: Use a smoke machine or carb cleaner to identify leaks while the engine is running.

6. Compression Testing

• Step 1: Remove all spark plugs to access the cylinders.
• Step 2: Insert the compression gauge into the spark plug hole of each cylinder and crank the engine.
• Step 3: Record the compression readings and compare them against the manufacturer’s specifications. Address any low compression issues accordingly.
