1. Use the Techstream to check for DTCs and confirm the condition. If misfires are present, continue to Step 2.

2. Perform cylinder leakdown test on each cylinder. Note any cylinders with high compression loss. If loss is found, listen at the exhaust, intake and crankcase to determine the source of the leakage.

3. Replace the cylinder head (including all exhaust and intake valves for the affected cylinder(s).

4. Clear all DTCs and test drive to confirm the fix.
