Solution

1. Preparation

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

2. Replace Spark Plugs

• Remove the ignition coil cover if applicable.
• Disconnect ignition coils from spark plugs.
• Use a spark plug socket to remove old spark plugs.
• Inspect the spark plug wells for oil or debris.
• Install new spark plugs, ensuring they are gapped correctly.
• Reconnect the ignition coils securely.

3. Inspect and Replace Ignition Coils

• Check the resistance of the ignition coils with a multimeter (specific values can be found in the service manual).
• If any coil is out of specification, remove it using a socket set.
• Replace with new ignition coils and secure them in place.
• Reconnect electrical connectors.

4. Check Fuel Injectors

• Remove the fuel injector connectors carefully.
• Use a noid light to test the electrical signal to the injectors.
• If an injector is not receiving a signal, trace wiring and connections.
• Replace any faulty fuel injectors.

5. Inspect Vacuum Lines

• Visually inspect all vacuum hoses for cracks, breaks, or loose connections.
• Replace any damaged vacuum hoses with new ones.
• Clear any debris from the intake manifold area.

6. Compression Test

• Remove spark plugs to access cylinders.
• Use a compression tester to check each cylinder's compression.
• If compression is low, further investigation may be required for internal engine issues.
