5. Inspect Vacuum Lines

  • Visually inspect all vacuum hoses for cracks or disconnections.
  • Replace any damaged hoses with new ones.
  • Ensure all connections are secure and tight.

6. Conduct Compression Test

  • Remove spark plugs and insert the compression tester into each cylinder.
  • Crank the engine and record the compression readings.
  • Compare with manufacturer specifications; replace engine components if readings are low.
