Claim 19:
20. A method, comprising:
in an apparatus:
controlling an actuation mechanism to activate an actuator of the actuation mechanism and seal a valve of a combustion chamber of an engine based on the activation of the actuator;
controlling a flow control device to control a flow of a pressurized fluid to the combustion chamber;
controlling a plurality of sensors which comprise a first sensor and a second sensor, wherein,
the first sensor is disposed in an inlet port of the combustion chamber to detect a first flow rate of the pressurized fluid in the inlet port, and
the second sensor is disposed in an exhaust port of the combustion chamber to detect a second flow rate of the pressurized fluid in the exhaust port;

determining a leakage of the pressurized fluid from the combustion chamber based on the detected first flow rate and the detected second flow rate; and
controlling a notification device to generate an alert based on the determined leakage of the pressurized fluid from the combustion chamber.
