Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather all necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to ensure safety.
• Allow the engine to cool down before starting work.

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, spark plug socket, anti-seize compound.
• Remove the ignition coils by unbolting them and disconnecting the electrical connectors.
• Remove the spark plugs using the spark plug socket.
• Inspect the spark plugs for wear and replace them if necessary. Use OEM or high-quality aftermarket plugs.
• Apply anti-seize compound to the threads of the new spark plugs and install them with the proper torque specification (typically 13 lb-ft).
• Reinstall the ignition coils securely.

3. Test and Replace Ignition Coils

• Tools Required: Multimeter.
• Test each ignition coil for primary and secondary resistance according to manufacturer specifications.
• If any coils are out of specification, replace them with new coils.
• Reconnect all electrical connectors and ensure the coils are seated properly.

4. Clean or Replace Fuel Injectors

• Tools Required: Fuel injector cleaner kit or replacement injectors.
• If injectors are clogged, use a fuel injector cleaning kit to clean them.
• If they are damaged, replace the faulty fuel injectors.
• Reinstall all fuel lines and connectors securely.

5. Check Vacuum Lines
