Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the vehicle's battery to ensure safety.
• Allow the engine to cool down before proceeding.

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

• Remove the ignition coil cover using a socket set.
• Disconnect the wiring harness from each ignition coil.
• Remove the ignition coils using a socket wrench.
• Remove the spark plugs using a spark plug socket.
• Inspect the spark plugs for wear, cracks, or excessive carbon buildup.
• Replace with OEM or recommended spark plugs, torquing to 20 Nm (15 lb-ft).

3. Inspect and Replace Ignition Coils

• If the spark plugs are in good condition, proceed to inspect ignition coils.
• Replace any faulty ignition coils with new ones, ensuring proper seating.
• Torque the ignition coils to manufacturer specifications (typically around 10 Nm or 7 lb-ft).

4. Check Fuel Injectors

• If misfire persists, inspect fuel injectors for proper operation.
• Disconnect the fuel injector harness and perform a balance test to ensure each injector is firing.
• Replace any malfunctioning fuel injectors.

5. Inspect Vacuum Lines and Intake

• Visually inspect all vacuum lines for cracks or disconnections.
• Check the intake manifold for any leaks using a smoke machine or carburetor cleaner.
• Repair or replace any damaged vacuum lines or gaskets as necessary.

6. Verify Fuel Pressure

• Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
• Turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine.
• Ensure fuel pressure is within the specified range (typically around 50-60 psi for the Golf).
• Replace the fuel pump or fuel filter if pressure is outside specifications.
