Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts.
• Allow the engine to cool before beginning work.

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

• Remove the engine cover (if applicable) using a socket set.
• Disconnect the ignition coils from the spark plugs.
• Remove the spark plugs using a spark plug socket and ratchet.
• Inspect each spark plug for wear; replace if necessary with OEM or equivalent specifications.
• Torque new spark plugs to the manufacturer's specification (typically 13-15 lb-ft).

3. Check and Replace Ignition Coils

• If spark plugs are in good condition, test each ignition coil using a multimeter to check for resistance according to the manufacturer’s specs.
• If a coil is faulty, remove it by unscrewing the mounting bolts.
• Install the new ignition coil and torque to manufacturer's specifications.

4. Inspect Fuel Injectors

• If ignition coils are operational, check fuel injectors for clogs.
• Remove the fuel rail (if necessary) to access injectors.
• Clean or replace any clogged injectors with OEM parts.
• Reinstall the fuel rail and secure it according to specifications.

5. Check for Vacuum Leaks

• Inspect all vacuum lines for cracks or disconnections.
• Replace any damaged hoses and ensure all connections are secure.

6. Test Fuel Pressure

• Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
• Turn the ignition on (without starting the engine) and check the pressure reading.
• If pressure is below specifications, investigate the fuel pump and filter for replacement.
