• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shock.

2. Inspect and Replace Ignition Components

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, spark plug socket, multimeter.
• Remove the engine cover if necessary to access ignition components.
• Check spark plugs for wear and replace if necessary. Use the manufacturer's specified gap and torque values.
• Inspect ignition coils for cracks or damage. Replace any faulty coils.
• Reconnect all electrical connectors securely.

3. Inspect and Test Fuel System

• Tools Required: Fuel pressure gauge, injector cleaner.
• Check fuel pressure using a fuel pressure gauge; compare with manufacturer specifications.
• Clean or replace fuel injectors if they are clogged or malfunctioning.
• Ensure the fuel filter is clean and replace if necessary.

4. Check for Vacuum Leaks

• Tools Required: Smoke machine or soapy water.
• Inspect all vacuum lines for cracks or disconnections.

• Replace any damaged hoses or seals.

5. Compression Test

• Tools Required: Compression tester.
• Remove the spark plugs and install the compression tester in each cylinder.
• Crank the engine and record the compression readings. Compare with manufacturer specifications.
