Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts required for the repair.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical issues during the repair process.

2. Inspect and Repair Air Intake System

• Tools Required: Screwdriver set, vacuum gauge, hose clamps
• Inspect all air intake hoses for cracks or loose connections; replace any damaged hoses.
• Tighten any loose clamps to ensure a proper seal on the air intake system.

3. Clean or Replace MAF Sensor

• Tools Required: MAF sensor cleaner, Torx screwdriver
• Remove the MAF sensor by unscrewing it from its housing.
• Spray the MAF sensor with MAF cleaner and allow it to dry completely before reinstallation.
• Reinstall the MAF sensor securely.

4. Check and Repair Fuel System

• Tools Required: Fuel pressure gauge, socket set
• Connect the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail service port.
• Turn the ignition key to the "On" position (do not start) and check the pressure; it should match manufacturer specifications (usually around 3-4 bar).
• If pressure is low, inspect the fuel pump and replace the fuel filter if clogged. Replace the fuel pump if necessary.

5. Inspect Vacuum Lines

• Tools Required: Visual inspection tools, vacuum gauge
• Inspect all vacuum lines connected to the intake manifold for cracks or disconnections.
• Replace any damaged or leaking vacuum lines to restore proper pressure.
