Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to avoid electrical shock.

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the engine cover (if applicable) using a socket set.
  2. Disconnect the spark plug wire or ignition coil connector.
  3. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plug.
  4. Inspect the spark plug for wear and carbon buildup; replace if necessary.
  5. Check the spark plug gap with a feeler gauge and adjust or replace to manufacturer specifications.
  6. Install the new or cleaned spark plug and reattach the ignition coil or spark plug wire.

3. Inspect and Replace Ignition Coils

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the ignition coil(s) by unscrewing any retaining bolts.
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector from the ignition coil.
  3. Inspect the ignition coil for cracks or carbon tracking; replace if any damage is found.
  4. Install the new ignition coil and reconnect the electrical connector.
  5. Secure the ignition coil with the retaining bolts to the manufacturer's torque specifications.

4. Clean or Replace Fuel Injectors

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the fuel rail by disconnecting any retaining bolts and electrical connectors.
  2. Carefully pull the fuel injectors out of the rail; inspect for clogs or leaks.
  3. Clean the injectors using a fuel injector cleaning kit or replace them if they are damaged.
  4. Reinstall the fuel injectors into the rail and secure the fuel rail back to the engine.

5. Check for Vacuum Leaks

• Sub-steps:
  1. Visually inspect all vacuum lines for cracks or disconnections.
  2. Use a smoke machine or carb cleaner to check for leaks by spraying around the intake manifold and vacuum lines.
  3. Replace damaged vacuum lines or reseal with appropriate materials.
