• Allow the engine to cool if it has been running.

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the engine cover (if applicable) using a socket set.
  2. Disconnect the ignition coils by unclipping the connectors and removing the mounting bolts.
  3. Extract the spark plugs using a spark plug socket and ratchet.
  4. Inspect the spark plugs for wear or damage; replace them if necessary with OEM specifications.
  5. Gap new spark plugs according to manufacturer specifications and install them.

3. Check and Replace Ignition Coils

• Sub-steps:
  1. If the ignition coils are found to be faulty, remove them from the cylinder head.
  2. Install new ignition coils, ensuring they are seated correctly and reattach the connectors.

4. Inspect and Repair Vacuum Leaks

• Sub-steps:
  1. Conduct a visual inspection of all vacuum lines and hoses connected to the intake manifold.
  2. Replace any damaged or cracked hoses.
  3. Use RTV sealant to reseal any leaks found at the intake manifold gasket.

5. Test and Replace Fuel System Components

• Sub-steps:
  1. Connect the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail and turn the ignition to the ON position (do not start the engine) to check fuel pressure.
  2. If pressure is below specifications, inspect the fuel pump and filter for operation; replace if necessary.
  3. Ensure the fuel injectors are functioning correctly; clean or replace if clogged.
