Solution

1. Preparation

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

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the engine cover (if applicable) using a socket set.
  2. Disconnect the ignition coil connectors.
  3. Unscrew the ignition coils and remove them.
  4. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs.
