Solution

1. Preparation

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

2. Replace Spark Plugs

• Remove the engine cover (if applicable) using a socket set.
• Disconnect the ignition coils from the spark plugs.
• Use a spark plug socket to remove old spark plugs.
• Inspect the new spark plugs for proper gap and install them, tightening them to the manufacturer's torque specification (typically around 13-15 lb-ft).
• Reconnect the ignition coils and secure the engine cover.

3. Inspect and Replace Ignition Coils

• If any coils were found faulty during the inspection, remove them by unscrewing the retention screws.
• Disconnect the electrical connectors from the faulty ignition coils.
• Install new ignition coils, ensuring they click into place and reconnect the electrical connectors.
• Reattach any components removed for access.

4. Clean or Replace Fuel Injectors

• If injectors are clogged, use a fuel injector cleaning kit or replace them with new ones.
• To replace, disconnect the fuel line and electrical connectors.
• Remove old injectors by unscrewing them from the fuel rail and install new ones, ensuring proper sealing with O-rings.
• Reconnect all lines and connectors.

5. Check for Vacuum Leaks

• Inspect all vacuum lines visually for cracks or disconnections.
• Use a smoke machine to identify any leaks if necessary.
• Replace any damaged hoses with new ones.
