2. Replace Spark Plugs

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, spark plug socket.
• Remove the ignition coils by unscrewing the bolts and disconnecting the electrical connectors.
• Use a spark plug socket to carefully remove the old spark plugs.
• Inspect the old spark plugs for damage; if worn, replace with OEM specifications.
• Install new spark plugs by hand, then torque to manufacturer's specification (typically around 22 lb-ft).
• Reinstall the ignition coils and ensure connectors are secure.

3. Check and Replace Ignition Coils (if necessary)

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench.
• After removing the ignition coils, inspect for cracks or wear.
• If faulty, replace with new ignition coils.
• Reinstall coils ensuring proper alignment and secure connections.

4. Clean or Replace Fuel Injectors
