Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.

2. Replace Spark Plugs

• Remove the ignition coil covers (if applicable).
• Disconnect the electrical connectors from the ignition coils.
• Unscrew and remove the ignition coils.
• Remove the old spark plugs using a spark plug socket.
• Inspect the spark plug gap and condition; replace with new spark plugs if necessary.
• Reinstall the ignition coils and reconnect the electrical connectors.

3. Inspect and Replace Ignition Coils (if necessary)

• Use a multimeter to check the resistance of each ignition coil.
• Replace any faulty ignition coils with new units that match OEM specifications.
• Ensure proper alignment and secure mounting of ignition coils.

4. Clean or Replace Fuel Injectors

• If injectors are clogged, use a fuel injector cleaner or ultrasonic cleaner to restore functionality.
• If damaged, replace the fuel injectors with new ones according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

5. Check and Repair Vacuum Leaks

• Visually inspect all vacuum lines connected to the intake manifold for cracks or loose fittings.
• Replace any damaged vacuum hoses.
• Use smoke testing for a complete leak inspection if necessary.

6. Test and Clean MAF Sensor

• Disconnect the MAF sensor connector and remove the sensor from the intake duct.
• Clean the MAF sensor using MAF cleaner spray and a soft cloth.
• Reinstall the MAF sensor and reconnect the electrical connector.
