Search of malfunctions in ignition

The one who wishes to reveal defect in ignition, should operate on system:

  • Whether there is in general an ignition spark, is found out by simple check of pressure.
  • Current giving to ignition/injection system is carried out through safety locks 28, 29, 32 or 34 (depending on engine model). At ignition refusal check up these safety locks (the head the Electrotechnical equipment).
  • The attentive visual control often finds out the most widespread sources of malfunctions (a wire, sockets, pressure breakdowns).
  • Only after that serially check up the coil () ignitions, the Hall gauge, or the gauge of number of turns of the engine, or the gauge of the moment of ignition.
  • If all it was unsuccessful, let in a workshop will interrogate the computer.

Switch off ignition, having taken out a socket on terminal cascades.

At the left: in the four-cylinder engine of 1,6 l the socket (2) is disconnected on the terminal cascade (3) near to the coil of ignition (1).

On the right: in four-cylinder турбодвигателе and in the six-cylinder engine both sockets (arrow) on the terminal cascade are disconnected.

Whether there is a pressure of ignition?

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. The engine capacity of 74 kw: remove one of wires on a spark plug, unscrew a candle.
  2. Again connect to a candle a wire of a high voltage and put it on the engine block so that it had a reliable contact to the block. Even better, for conductivity maintenance to connect an auxiliary starting wire a cut part of a candle to the engine.
  3. Let your assistant will turn the engine a starter.
  4. If on candle electrodes slip powerful sparks pressure of ignition is, i.e. the ignition system works. But there can be wrong a basic adjustment of the distributor.
  5. The engine capacity of 92 kw: basically that way of actions as at the engine capacity of 74 kw, but it is necessary to check up (to be convinced that both coils) candles of 1st and 2nd cylinders work.
  6. Leave candles of 3rd and 4th cylinders established.
  7. The four-cylinder engine capacity of 110 kw: unscrew the ignition coil, unscrew a candle.
  8. The coil and candle again connect and fix on the engine so that the candle had a contact to weight, and engine movement could not shake it. It is reached, for example, as follows: a carving part of a candle connect to the engine, providing conductivity, by means of the plug of an auxiliary wire for its start.
  9. In the rest the same actions, as at the engine capacity of 74 kw if it is necessary, repeat the same on other cylinders.
  10. Six-cylinder engines: Basically the same way of actions as at the engine capacity of 74 kw, but it is necessary to check up (to be convinced that all three coils) candles 1, 2 and 3rd cylinders work.
  11. For all engines: if there is no spark repeat attempt with a candle of other cylinder. If still there are no sparks check up all system of ignition.

At the left: whether here there is in general a spark in ignition system. For the sake of reliability the candle should be fixed on the engine by means of a starting wire for conductivity maintenance. Here it is not shown for the sake of presentation.

On the right: on the removed socket (2) it is checked concerning weight (3), whether pressure on the terminal cascade (1) moves.

The open distributor of ignition (here the four-cylinder engine)

1 – the Hall gauge;
2 – диафрагменный a rotor;

  3. Whether there are on wires obvious damages?
  4. Whether the weight is squeezed out in the ignition coil заливочная? Probably, it is faulty at the expense of it?
  5. Whether is on the case of the coil of ignition of a crack or traces of burns from slipping sparks?
  6. In addition check up, whether wires of a high voltage are strongly fixed and whether there are no isolation damages. Modern systems of ignition at the expense of high pressure of ignition react to jumping sparks and creeping currents more sensitively.
  7. Whether there are damages on a cover of the distributor of ignition (74 kw)? Special attention turn on an inside.
  8. Whether all knots of system of ignition pure and dry? The damp dirt promotes pressure breakdowns.

 Council: At following measurements pay attention that measuring and control devices should be connected and be disconnected only at the switched off ignition. If the engine for check and carrying out of measurements is repeatedly turned by a starter without start it is preliminary necessary to disconnect sockets of wires on injection valves.

The gauge of number of turns of the engine is located on a gear wreath of a flywheel. Shtyrkovoe connection of its wire is taken away upwards to an arm on a back wall of an impellent compartment, therefore measurement does not need to be spent under the car.

Check of the gauge of the moment of ignition

The six-cylinder engine

 Councils: Other check consists in unscrewing of the gauge and cleaning of its front party. It is necessary to pay attention: never unscrew a gauge arm, but only the gauge.

The gauge of the moment of ignition is established at the left behind directly on the case картера. It is checked on black three-polar штекерном a socket in an arm on a back wall of an impellent compartment.

Direct check is identical to how it becomes on the gauge of number of turns of the engine. It is not necessary to clean the front party only.

Check of the block of management

For check of the block of management of system of ignition/injection there are no methods in traditional understanding. But defect is found out in a workshop by reading of the computer remembering malfunctions.

Detonation sensor control

The detonation sensor control (since their 1,8-litre engine it is put two) is checked by computer interrogation. Other possibilities for check are not present. Sometimes the defective sensor control of a detonation draws to itself attention an intensive ring in the engine at acceleration. At installation of a new sensor control of a detonation necessarily consider the correct moment of an inhaling of a fixing bolt in 20 Nanometers.
