Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shock.

2. Spark Plug Replacement

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, dielectric grease.
• Remove the engine cover if applicable.
• Unscrew and remove each spark plug using the socket wrench.
• Inspect old spark plugs for signs of wear or fouling.
• Install new spark plugs, applying dielectric grease to the threads.
• Torque spark plugs to the manufacturer's specifications (typically around 13-16 ft-lbs).

3. Ignition Coil Inspection and Replacement

• Tools Required: Socket set, multimeter (for testing).
• Remove ignition coils by disconnecting the electrical connector and unscrewing the mounting bolts.
• Test each ignition coil with a multimeter to ensure they are functioning correctly.
• Replace any faulty ignition coils with new ones.
• Reinstall ignition coils and reconnect the electrical connectors.

4. Fuel Injector Cleaning or Replacement

• Tools Required: Fuel pressure gauge, injector cleaning kit (if cleaning).
• Connect the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail to check pressure; compare with specifications.
• If pressure is low, inspect for fuel pump issues or clogged fuel filters.
• If injectors are clogged, use an injector cleaning kit or replace them as necessary.
• Reconnect any lines or components removed during inspection.

5. Vacuum Leak Inspection

• Tools Required: Smoke machine or carburetor cleaner.
• Start the engine and use a smoke machine to detect vacuum leaks around the intake manifold and vacuum lines.
