Systems of a charge and start General information on system All cars considered in this manual have the electric system working with tension of 12 Century. Connection of weight passes through the minus plug of the battery. The battery is in a motive compartment or a luggage carrier, depending on model.
For start of the engine the starter is used. The switch of a starter is a component of the switch of ignition and at inclusion excites the traction relay installed on a starter. The installed generator, the required maximum current depending on the engine calculated (address Specifications), is made by Bosch or Motorola. The generator is put in action from the crankshaft through ridge maple a belt. The regulator installed on a back cover of the generator serves for adjustment of current of a charge. The lamp of control of charging which is built in the dashboard indicates excellent job of electric equipment while the charge of the battery is normal. Coal deposits
|
Symptoms: Availability of soot indicates reenrichment of fuel-air mix or weak intensity of a spark. Causes admissions of ignition, complicates start and results in instability of operation of the engine. Recommendations: Whether check the air cleaner is hammered whether fuel level in the float-operated camera is not too high, whether the air gate is jammed and whether contacts are not too worn-out. Try to use candles with longer insulator that increases the resilience to pollution. | Normal state of a candle
|
Symptoms: Gray-brown color and easy wear of electrodes. The Kalilny number of candles corresponds to type of the engine and its general state. Recommendations: When replacing candles establish candles of the same type. | Oiling
|
Symptoms: Oiling of a candle is caused by wear of maslootrazhatelny caps. Oil gets to the combustion chamber through worn-out guides of valves or piston rings. Causes admissions of ignition, complicates start and results in instability of operation of the engine. Recommendations: Perform mechanical recovery work and replace candles. | Peploobrazovaniye
|
Symptoms: Soft deposits of brownish color on one or both electrodes of a candle. A source of their education are the applied additives to oil and/or fuel. Excessive accumulation can lead to isolation of electrodes and cause admissions of ignition and unstable operation of the engine at acceleration. Recommendations: At bystry accumulation of deposits change maslootrazhatelny caps that will prevent hit of oil in combustion chambers. Try to replace fuel brand. |
Overheat
|
Symptoms: Porous, white insulator, erosion of electrodes and lack of any deposits. Leads to reduction of service life of a candle. Recommendations: Check whether the kalilny number of the established candles conforms to requirements of Specifications, whether the ignition advancing corner is correctly exposed, whether too poor fuel-air mix moves, whether there is no leak of vacuum of the inlet pipeline and whether valves are jammed. Check also the level of a cooler and whether the radiator is corked. | Wear
|
Symptoms: A rounding off of electrodes with a small congestion of deposits on the working end. Color is normal. Leads to difficulty of start of the engine in cold damp weather and to increase in fuel consumption. Recommendations: Change candles on new, the same type. | Too early ignition
|
Symptoms: Electrodes are melted off. The insulator has white color, but maybe is polluted owing to admissions of ignition or hit in combustion chambers of foreign particles. Can lead to an engine exit out of operation. Recommendations: Check kalilny number of the established candles, an ignition advancing corner, quality of mix (whether it is not too grown poor) whether the cooling system is corked and whether the lubrication system normally functions. | Detonation
|
Symptoms: Insulators can be chopped off or burst. Also inaccurate technology of adjustment of a candle gap can lead to damage of the insulator. Can lead to damage of pistons. | Electroconductive luster
|
Symptoms: The insulator has yellowish color and the polished appearance. Speaks about sudden temperature increase in combustion chambers at sharp acceleration. Usual deposits at the same time are melted off, taking a form of a varnish covering. Leads to admissions of ignition at high speeds of the movement. Recommendations: Replace candles (colder, at preservation of a manner of driving). | Zabryzgivaniye
|
Symptoms: After admissions of ignition during a long period of adjournment can be loosened at preservation of working temperature in the combustion chamber. At high speeds of adjournment in flakes come off the piston and stick to the hot isolation center, causing admissions of ignition. Recommendations: Replace candles or smooth out and establish into place old. | Short circuit of electrodes
|
Symptoms: Waste of products of combustion gets to interelectrode space. Firm deposits accumulate, forming a crossing point between electrodes. Leads to refusal of ignition in the cylinder. Recommendations: Remove deposits from interelectrode space. | Mechanical damages
|
Symptoms: Can be caused by hit of foreign materials in the combustion chamber or arise at blow of the piston about too long candle. Lead to refusal of functioning of the cylinder and to damage of the piston. Recommendations: Remove foreign particles from the engine and/or replace. |
