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.
    5. Inspect the old spark plugs for wear; replace if necessary with OEM plugs.
    6. Install new spark plugs, tightening to manufacturer specifications (typically around 15-20 Nm).
    7. Reinstall ignition coils and reconnect their connectors.

3. Test and Replace Ignition Coils (if necessary)
