Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the vehicle's battery.
  • Ensure the engine is cool before starting work.

2. Replace Spark Plugs

  • Remove the ignition coil cover (if applicable) using a socket set.
  • Carefully disconnect the ignition coils from the spark plugs.
  • Remove the old spark plugs using a spark plug socket.
  • Install new spark plugs, ensuring they are gapped according to manufacturer specifications (usually around 0.9mm).
  • Torque the new spark plugs to the manufacturer’s specification (typically around 25 Nm).

3. Inspect and Replace Ignition Coils

  • If damaged, replace the ignition coils.
  • Remove the ignition coils by unscrewing them from the cylinder head.
  • Install the new ignition coils and ensure they are securely fastened.
  • Reconnect electrical connectors to the ignition coils.

4. Check and Repair Fuel System

  • Attach a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
  • Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position (without starting the engine) to check the fuel pressure.
  • If pressure is low, inspect and replace the fuel filter or fuel pump as needed.

5. Inspect and Repair Air Intake System

  • Check the intake manifold and vacuum hoses for leaks.
  • Replace any damaged hoses or gaskets.
  • Clean the throttle body if carbon buildup is present.

6. Reassemble and Reconnect Battery

  • Reinstall any components removed during the process.
  • Reconnect the battery terminals, ensuring they are tight.
  • Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature.

Verification

After completing the repair, verify that the issue has been resolved:
