Symptoms:
- Rough idling and hesitation during acceleration
- Check Engine Light (CEL) illumination
- Reduced fuel efficiency
- Occasional stalling or misfires
- Unusual engine noises, such as ticking or knocking

Diagnosis:
- Use an OBD-II scanner to check for stored trouble codes related to ignition coils, fuel injectors, or sensors.
- Inspect spark plugs and ignition coils for wear or damage, as these are common failure points.
- Perform a compression test to rule out internal engine issues.
- Check for vacuum leaks around intake manifold gaskets and hoses.

- Inspect the timing chain and tensioner, as premature wear can cause engine noise and performance issues.

Fixes:
- Replace faulty ignition coils and worn spark plugs to restore proper combustion.
- Repair or replace damaged vacuum hoses and intake manifold gaskets to eliminate leaks.
- Clean or replace the PCV valve to maintain proper crankcase ventilation.
- If timing chain wear is detected, replace the chain and tensioner to prevent engine damage.
- Address any sensor faults (e.g., MAF, oxygen sensors) by cleaning or replacing the sensors.
- Regularly change engine oil and use manufacturer-recommended grades to ensure proper lubrication and reduce wear.

Prevention:
- Follow the recommended maintenance schedule, including timely oil and filter changes.
- Use high-quality spark plugs and ignition components to improve reliability.
- Avoid prolonged idling and aggressive driving to reduce engine stress.
- Regularly inspect vacuum lines and replace any brittle or cracked hoses.
