Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts for the repair.
• Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent electrical shorts.
• Allow the engine to cool down if it has been running.

2. Replace Spark Plugs

1. Remove the engine cover if applicable.
2. Using a socket set, remove the bolts securing the ignition coil.
3. Carefully pull the ignition coil off the spark plug.
4. Use a spark plug socket to unscrew and remove the old spark plug.
5. Inspect the old spark plug for wear and compare it to the new one.

7. Reinstall the ignition coil and secure it with bolts.

3. Inspect and Replace Ignition Coils (if necessary)

1. If the ignition coils were found to be faulty during diagnostics, remove them following the instructions in the previous step.
2. Install new ignition coils, ensuring they are seated properly onto the spark plugs.
3. Reconnect the electrical connectors to each ignition coil.

4. Check Fuel Injectors

1. Remove any components obstructing access to the fuel injectors.
2. Inspect each fuel injector for leaks or clogs.
3. If needed, replace faulty fuel injectors with new units.
4. Reassemble any removed components.

5. Inspect Vacuum Hoses
