Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts required for the repair.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical short circuits.

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

• Remove the ignition coil cover if applicable.
• Carefully remove the spark plugs using a spark plug socket and ratchet.
• Inspect each spark plug for wear, carbon buildup, or damage.
• Replace with OEM or equivalent spark plugs, tightening to the manufacturer’s specified torque (usually around 20 Nm or as per vehicle specifications).

3. Check and Replace Ignition Coils (if necessary)

• Remove the ignition coils from the spark plug wells.
• Test each coil with a multimeter; if any coil is outside the resistance range specified in the service manual, replace it.
• Install new ignition coils, ensuring they click into place firmly.

4. Inspect Fuel Injectors

• Use a fuel injector cleaner or replace clogged injectors if identified.
• Reconnect any fuel lines or connectors removed during inspection.

5. Check Vacuum Lines

• Visually inspect vacuum hoses for cracks or disconnections.
• Replace any damaged hoses with new ones, ensuring a secure fit.

6. Reassemble and Reconnect Battery

• Reinstall any components removed during the process.
• Reconnect the battery terminals, ensuring they are tight and secure.
