Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather all necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.

2. Inspect and Repair Vacuum Leaks

• Tools Required: Vacuum gauge, hose clamps, silicone sealant
• Inspect all vacuum hoses and connections around the intake manifold.
