Installing the ignition on the eye by marks

Spark torque sensor location:

1

– spark torque sensor
2
– vacuum regulator
3
– hatch plug in the clutch housing
4
– engine auxiliary drive housing

You will need
  • key "10"
  • strobe (a device for checking and setting the ignition timing of carburetor engines)

Before starting work

Remove the air filter.

The ignition timing is checked and set at engine idle (at a crankshaft speed of 820–900 rpm). The angle should be within 1°± 1° BTDC.

If the ignition timing is incorrectly set, the engine overheats, does not develop full power, and detonation occurs.

Marks for checking the ignition timing

Check the ignition timing using the mark on the flywheel and the scale of the crankshaft rear oil seal holder (the rubber plug has been removed). When the marks on the flywheel are combined with the middle division (notch) on the scale, the piston of the first cylinder is installed at TDC. One division on the scale corresponds to 2° of crankshaft rotation.

The ignition timing can also be checked and set using the marks on the generator drive pulley and the front camshaft drive belt cover. The long mark corresponds to the installation of the first cylinder at TDC, the short mark to the ignition advance by 5° of crankshaft rotation. These marks are used to set the ignition timing on the stand.

9.

To increase the ignition timing angle, turn the sensor housing clockwise (the “+” mark on the flange of the sensor housing is towards the protrusion on the auxiliary drive housing. In this case, one division on the flange corresponds to 8° of crankshaft rotation).

10.

To reduce the ignition timing angle, turn the sensor housing counterclockwise (the “-” mark on the sensor housing flange to the protrusion on the auxiliary drive housing). Tighten the sensor mounting nuts, check and, if necessary, repeat the ignition timing setting. Connect the hose to the vacuum regulator.

Good day!

Some time ago I noticed that my Oka periodically shoots at the silencer. At the same time, I have never heard detonation on it, except very briefly when starting off very sharply. I noticed that the distributor was turned 1 division counterclockwise relative to its average position (i.e., 8 degrees along the crankshaft, as they say in the book). I turned the distributor approximately 1/4 notch clockwise (that is, I set it to 2 degrees earlier). It became noticeably easier to move away (it became almost as easy as driving a UAZ truck - the car stopped either stalling or jerking sharply), and it seemed like the traction at the bottom increased. and the engine stopped firing from the muffler.

Maybe try to tighten it up some more?

I heard that on engines 2108/09 (and therefore on Oka, probably) detonation is not as audible as on other engines (Volga, UAZ, Lada, etc.). And in the instructions they write (unlike the UAZ) to adjust not by detonation, but by strobe (which I don’t have, of course).

How to set the ignition correctly on Oka?

Thanks for any answers!

Setting the ignition “by ear” We set the sensor firmly to “+”, not paying attention to any risks and so on. We find a flat section of the road, accelerate on it to 60-65 km/h (if the jerker is 1111 - up to 55-60 km/h), stick the fourth gas pedal firmly to the floor. Engine detonation will be clearly audible with a characteristic metallic tinkling sound (they still ignorantly say that “fingers are knocking”). We stop, turn the sensor a little to minus, and repeat the ride. The goal is to ensure that when the pedal is pressed to the floor, the detonation knock is practically one or two “dings” and immediately stops. I drove with this setup for several years and didn’t know any grief.

not having an ear for music by the way Teapot

In 1989, car enthusiasts saw the first copies of the VAZ 1111, which became the basis for the family. Three factories mastered the production of small cars: VAZ in Togliatti, KamAZ in Naberezhnye Chelny, Serpukhov, whose car plant specialized in the production of motorized wheelchairs for the disabled. This distribution of forces and resources made it possible to quickly begin production of this model without the construction of new production facilities.

Buyers were offered two versions of the car, which differed only in the power unit. The car has front-wheel drive, and replacing the Oka timing belt is carried out by analogy with VAZ 2108 and VAZ 21083 engines.

About the engine

For these models, engines 2108 and 21083 were taken as the basis. They are 2-cylinder engines with an in-line vertical arrangement of cylinders. The camshaft is installed in the cylinder head. The working volume is 649 cm 3 and 749 cm 3. The increase in volume is obtained by increasing the diameter of the pistons from 76 mm to 82 mm. The cylinder blocks of these engines, heads, flywheels, and pulleys are different.

Many spare parts are unified with their 4-cylinder variants. The power supply system is carburetor, but with changed calibration data. In 1990, the timing belt on the power unit was replaced. If the previous product had semicircular teeth, then on the new one they began to have a trapezoidal shape with a groove at the top of the tooth. The pulleys were changed to match the tooth profile, but the belts themselves are interchangeable; you can use both new and old parts.

It is possible to obtain maximum efficiency from using an internal combustion engine only with the correct adjustment of the valve timing. There are marks on the timing drive for this purpose. One of them is the protrusion on the rear cover for the drive belt protection, which should coincide with the mark on the camshaft pulley. The second mark is located at the bottom of the cylinder block, and it coincides with the mark on the crankshaft pulley. The piston of the first cylinder should be at top dead center at this time.

Are the valves bending?

This question worries many owners, since after such an “incident” a costly overhaul of the power unit will follow. Mechanics know of cases where, after the pistons met the valves, in addition to bent valves, the piston heads were damaged and the guide bushings in the cylinder head were destroyed. The engine, based on the VAZ 21083 engine, is free from such shortcomings. The pistons of this internal combustion engine have recesses that prevent the valve head from meeting the upward-moving piston.

This problem can occur in two cases:

  • Cutting teeth on the timing belt.
  • The alignment marks on the engine being repaired are not aligned correctly.

To avoid this, you should carefully study the process of replacing the belt, or seek help from service center specialists.

Oka gas distribution mechanism

If you compare old VAZ classic engines with a timing chain drive, you will notice significant differences in the design of the drive. The bulky metal chain was replaced with a timing belt. The design of the cylinder block has become shorter and lighter, since the opening for the chain in the timing drive mechanism has disappeared. The designers changed the principle of opening valves, it became simpler. If on old engines the camshaft cam pressed on the valve stem through the rocker arm, now it acts on it through the adjusting washer. The thermal gap is set on a cold engine by selecting a washer of the required thickness. Manufacturers make them in different sizes, the values ​​of which are marked on the ends of the washer. If the driver adjusts the thermal gap independently, he will have to purchase a certain number of such washers, which is not always economically feasible.

The design of the timing mechanism drive is such that the belt drives the pump in the Oka engine cooling system. Often it is because of the breakdown of this pump that the toothed belt drive fails. Therefore, car manufacturers recommend that the belt drive and pump in the engine cooling system be replaced at the same time. When inspecting, you should pay attention to the condition of the tension roller in the timing mechanism.

Belt replacement procedure

The process of replacing a timing belt on Oka is not very difficult. If you carefully study the process before doing this, you can do it yourself. The work can be done on any level surface.

Before starting the operation, install wheel chocks under the rear wheels and tighten the hand brake cable. The front wheels are turned to the right as far as possible (all the way), and the battery is disconnected. The further procedure will be something like this:

  • In the engine compartment, remove the spare wheel and the windshield washer fluid reservoir. You will also have to dismantle the air filter housing and ignition coil.
  • After loosening the tension on the generator set drive belt, remove it from the pulleys.
  • After this, you can remove the protective plastic timing case.
  • Next, rotate the crankshaft clockwise until all the timing marks in the timing drive are aligned.
  • It is not yet possible to remove the toothed belt; the generator set drive pulley on the engine crankshaft is in the way. There is a hole on the right mudguard in the direction of travel of the car. A 19mm socket wrench is inserted into it to unscrew the bolt on the crankshaft pulley. Before doing this, you should secure the motor from turning. This can be done through a hole in the top of the flywheel housing by inserting a strong screwdriver or suitable pry bar between the flywheel teeth. An assistant should hold it.
  • Unscrew the bolt securing the generator pulley and remove it from the shaft.
  • Next, loosen the tension of the timing belt. To do this, you need a 17mm wrench to loosen the tension roller nut. If it is replaced, then completely remove it from the axle. There is an adjusting washer in front of the roller on the block side.
  • If the pump in the engine cooling system is being replaced, drain the antifreeze and then remove it from the engine block.
  • Remove the toothed belt. Important! The engine cannot be cranked after this, so as not to bend the valves.
  • Carefully inspect the condition of the timing drive pulleys, clean them of possible contamination and traces of engine oil.
  • Installing a new timing belt is done in the reverse order. Before this, carefully check once again how the timing marks in the timing drive mechanism match. At the end of the work, manually turn the engine several times, and again check how the marks match.

Buyers were offered two versions of the car, which differed only in the power unit. The car has front-wheel drive, and replacing the Oka timing belt is carried out by analogy with VAZ 2108 and VAZ 21083 engines.

The gas distribution mechanism (GRM) of a car fills the cylinders with a new portion of fuel and is also responsible for removing exhaust gases. This process occurs in the engine cylinders using overhead valves.

The camshaft controls the operation of the valves. It is located at the very top of the valves and rotates from the crankshaft using a toothed belt, which in addition to them also drives the water pump (pump).

Replacement timing

The vehicle operation regulations recommend that owners check the condition of the belt drive and belt tension after a run of 30 thousand km (more often). It is recommended to replace it after 60 thousand km. If the car owner does not change the belt within this period, it may be destroyed.

It is not allowed to operate the Oka with traces of engine oil leaks in the area where the toothed belt operates. It has a bad effect on the belt material and accelerates its destruction. Engine oil leaks should be repaired and the toothed belt replaced with a new spare part. If you carry out maintenance work on the power unit in a timely manner and with high quality, then there will be no problems for the owner.

To ensure normal engine starting in any weather, a huge number of different devices and parts are used. However, they are combined into one system - ignition (I). You will learn more about SZ for the Oka car below. What functions does the Oka ignition coil perform, what malfunctions are typical for SZ as a result, and how to set the advance angle - read below.

Well before we talk about how to set and adjust the ignition on the Oka at home in accordance with the diagram, it is necessary to understand the features of the SZ.

The ignition system on any car means several different components, the main ones being:

  1. Spark timing controller. This device is equipped with vacuum and centrifugal regulators. The device is designed to ensure the moment of spark formation, taking into account its standard setting, the number of engine revolutions, and the load on the engine. The signal reading procedure is based on the Hall effect.
  2. A switching device is designed to open the supply circuit of the primary winding of a short circuit, thus converting control signals into current pulses. When the ignition is activated, the connector of the switching device cannot be disconnected under any circumstances, as this will lead to damage not only to this unit, but also to other parts of the SZ.
  3. Coil. In the ignition systems of Oka cars, in accordance with the circuit, a two-terminal short circuit with an open or closed magnetic circuit is used.
  4. Candles. This commonly heard element is designed to transmit a high-voltage pulse, which promotes the ignition of the flammable mixture in the cylinders of the internal combustion engine. The service life of spark plugs is about 10,000 km; alas, the myth figure changes enormously according to the specificity of the spark plugs themselves. Or to the minimum, if for some reason the service life of the spark plugs is reduced.
  5. High-voltage cables designed to connect spark plugs to a distributor. In Oka, high-voltage circuits with distributed resistance are used. You should not touch them while the engine is running, as this can be a prerequisite for serious injury. It is also prohibited to start the unit if the high-voltage circuit is broken (the wires may be broken or crumpled, their insulation may be damaged). If the insulation is broken, then, of course, other elements of the accounting system will fail in accordance with the diagram.
  6. Egnition lock. In accordance with the diagram, the lock is designed to start the engine by supplying voltage to an additional relay when the key is turned (video creator - Nail Poroshin).

Operation of the Oka car ignition system and possible problems with it

To ensure normal engine starting in any weather, many different mechanisms and elements are used. But they are all combined into one system - the ignition system (I). We will tell you more about the SZ for the Oka car below. What functions does the Oka ignition coil perform, what malfunctions are typical for SZ in general, and how to set the advance angle - read below.

Early ignition of the eye VAZ1111

Among the defects of SZ, the following should be highlighted:

  1. Coil failure. Such a discrepancy rarely happens, however, it does happen sometimes.
  2. Distributor failure. You can easily read more about distributor defects and additional troubleshooting here.
  3. Spark plugs are worn out or carbon deposits appear there. This problem is of great concern to the majority of our fellow citizens. Read about the reasons why carbon deposits occur and what methods are available to eliminate this problem.
  4. Malfunction of high-voltage wires. Wires can be broken (broken), in other words, you will like them better if the insulation is broken. Operating a vehicle with such a discrepancy is not allowed.
  5. Broken ignition switch. Wear of the inside of the lock will result in the driver being unable to start the engine with the existing key. The problem can be solved by changing the lock cylinder (the creator of the video is Misha Burashnikov).

How to set the ignition correctly

You will learn more about SZ for the Oka car below. What functions does the Oka ignition coil perform, what malfunctions are typical for SZ as a result, and how to set the advance angle - read below.

Well before we talk about how to set and adjust the ignition on the Oka at home in accordance with the diagram, it is necessary to understand the features of the SZ.

The ignition system on any car means several different components, the main ones being:

Design

The ignition system of the VAZ Oka consists of only seven main elements:

  1. Auxiliary relay;
  2. Egnition lock;
  3. Circuit breakers;
  4. Switch;
  5. Spark moment sensor;
  6. Coil;
  7. Candles;

All elements are connected to each other by wiring.

Using the ignition switch, the driver controls the power supply to the system from a source - the battery, while the voltage passes through the auxiliary relay and fuses. The lock has three positions - “0”, in which all electrical consumers are turned off, “1” - voltage is supplied to the ignition system and a number of other devices, and “2” - current is supplied to the starter. This switching sequence ensures that the ignition system is activated at the moment the engine starts.

How it all works

The principle of operation of the ignition system is as follows: after turning the key to position “1” el. Energy from the battery is supplied to the ignition system components through the lock, fuses and auxiliary relay. In this case, high voltage pulses are not generated, since the spark torque sensor is not yet operational.

After activating the starter, the timing drive begins to rotate the camshaft, and accordingly the sensor shaft - the Hall sensor begins to interact with the screen, due to which control pulses are created.

Arriving at the commutator, these pulses interrupt the power supply circuit of the coil winding. When the power circuit is broken, a high voltage pulse is induced in the coil, which is transmitted through high-voltage wires to the spark plug, which leads to the formation of a spark between its electrodes.

Timing belt

The timing belt is quite an important element of any car. Thanks to it, the operation of the camshaft and crankshaft is synchronized in all vehicle engines. Due to the material used, the operation of the timing belt is almost silent, and it is not susceptible to any corrosion processes.

Due to the low cost of rubber, the price of the belt is relatively low. Any car owner can buy a timing belt online or in specialized stores. The cost of a belt depends on its manufacturer and quality.

There is both an original Oka timing belt with article number 11116, and analogues that are in no way inferior in quality to the original.

Timing belt VAZ-2108-099, set with roller GATESK0155211200
Timing belt VAZ-2108-092108-1006040-10RU450
Timing belt VAZ 1111 OKABD111350

The task of the timing belt is to provide the necessary operating parameters of the gas distribution system. During the production process, all products undergo mandatory quality control, since a broken belt leads to very sad consequences. This is fraught with long and expensive repairs to the car engine. The combination of materials used for the production of belts allows you to increase them:

  • wear resistance;
  • elasticity;
  • reliability of transmitted torque;

Western manufacturing companies have launched the production of reinforced belts that can operate under heavy loads. This reduces the risk of belt damage, and therefore increases the period of operation without replacement.

Each type of engine has its own characteristics, and therefore timing belts differ in the following parameters:

The belt's high-strength polyester reinforced with spirally laid fiber optics increases its ability to maintain stable tension even under increased loads. At the same time, the length of the belt is completely preserved.

Malfunctions

The simplified design of the ignition system and the absence of moving components ensures high reliability and ease of maintenance.

There are not so many malfunctions in the Oka ignition system:

  • Switch failure;
  • Hall sensor malfunction;
  • Coil failure;
  • Breakage or breakdown of wires, oxidation of contacts;
  • Spark plug malfunction;
  • Violation of the ignition timing;

Since the ignition system is directly involved in the operation of the engine, any malfunction in it immediately affects the performance of the engine - interruptions occur, the unit does not develop power, popping noises appear, or the unit simply does not start.

Diagnosis of a malfunction is carried out by visual inspection of the wiring and its connections, as well as by sequentially replacing all components with known good ones. A check using measuring instruments allows you to more accurately determine the faulty element.

The search for the problematic element is carried out from the candles. That is, first the presence of a spark is checked on them, then the high-voltage wires are inspected, and then the performance of the coil, switch, and Hall sensor is diagnosed.

The components of the ignition system are non-repairable, so if they break down they must be replaced.

Setting the advance angle

Setting the ignition timing is the only operation that is performed in the ignition system.

A strobe light is used to set the angle correctly. The technology for performing the work is not complicated. The algorithm of actions is as follows:

  • We connect the strobe to the power source and the tip of the spark plug of the 1st cylinder (according to the instructions for the device);
  • Remove the plug from the inspection window on the clutch housing;
  • We start the engine (it should be idling);
  • We direct the beam of light from the strobe into the viewing window;
  • We determine the position of the marks (with the angle correctly set, the mark on the flywheel at the moment the strobe light beam flashes should be located between the central and rear marks on the crankcase);
  • If the marks are not positioned correctly, make adjustments. To do this, loosen the bolts securing the spark moment sensor and rotating it around its axis until the marks match;

After adjustment, tighten the sensor fasteners, turn off the engine, disconnect the strobe light and replace the plug.

Ignition problems quite often occur on VAZ cars. That is why experienced motorists have developed several methods with which you can quickly and easily adjust the ignition of a VAZ. Since adjustment can take a long time, quite often it is only done

Perhaps, one of the ways to most accurately determine for yourself the correctness of the ignition timing set in a car engine is to determine the specified parameter using a strobe light, which is always available for sale in any store that sells vehicles.

The ignition timing in a car is determined by the angle of rotation of the crankshaft from the moment the spark appears at the spark plug to the position of the piston at top dead center. The ignition angle is lost due to a poorly tensioned chain or a twisted belt. For good engine operation it is necessary to set the angle

For reliable operation of the Buran snowmobile engine in difficult operating conditions, it is necessary to correctly adjust the ignition system. The most important parameter that has to be taken into account when adjusting is the ignition timing setting. As a rule, even the factory setting

Installing the ignition on a VAZ (“classic”)

They are equipped with one of two types of ignition. The first is contact: here the opening is carried out by turning the distributor shaft (mechanical method). The second type of ignition is electronic, non-contact: it uses a Hall sensor, which determines the time of spark formation.

How the ignition system works

When the piston reaches the TDC position, it compresses the combustible mixture with maximum force. At this time, a high voltage is formed in the coil. From the distributor cover it is supplied through high-voltage wires to the spark plugs, where a spark is formed that ignites the mixture. When the crankshaft speed increases, the ignition timing changes. This procedure is “carried out” by a vacuum regulator (attached to the ignition distributor), connected via a tube to the intake manifold. As a result, optimal power is achieved in any engine operating mode.

Symptoms of a problem

  • the engine cannot be started or it runs extremely unstable (stalls);
  • deterioration in driving dynamics: sluggish acceleration;
  • increased fuel consumption;
  • pops in the muffler;
  • vibration during operation of the power plant.

How to set the ignition timing with a strobe light

This is a fairly accurate method that does not require dismantling the valve covers and distributor. The procedure takes literally a few minutes and consists of the following steps:

  • with the engine turned off, loosen the nut securing the ignition distributor (key 13), noticing its original position;
  • clean the front motor cover (under the pulley) from dirt so that the marks are visible (one long, two shorter);
  • Connect the negative terminal of the strobe to the engine ground, the positive terminal to the ignition coil (terminal or nut on the side), fix a separate clamp on the high voltage wire of the 1st cylinder.
  • start the engine and point the strobe light at the pulley;
  • the mark on it should coincide with the central tide on the front cover of the BC if A80 gasoline is used, and with the longest outer one if the fuel is AI92;
  • if this is not the case, smoothly turn the distributor until a match occurs.

How to set the ignition on a car using a light bulb

If you don’t have a strobe light, you can use a regular car light bulb to which you need to solder a couple of wires. A voltmeter will also work. Adjustment steps:

  • Unscrew the spark plug from cylinder 1;
  • rotate the crankshaft (with a handle or a wrench) until compression begins: this can be determined by inserting a screwdriver into the spark plug hole and waiting until the piston touches it and begins to move down;
  • at the same time look at the marks on the engine cover: one of them (this depends on the octane number of gasoline) should align with the mark on the pulley;
  • remove the PP cover: the rotor should “look” towards the 1st cylinder;
  • slightly unscrew the nut securing the distributor;
  • Fix one wire from the light bulb to the body, the second to the PP contact, which is located on the side;
  • turn on the ignition without starting the engine: if the ignition timing is correct, the light will not light up;
  • if it is on, turn the distributor until it goes out;
  • secure the distributor.

How to adjust the ignition by ear

That is, you can achieve the correct setting without tools at all: you only need a 13 key. The method is effective, but only if the valves are adjusted correctly and the carburetor is in good working order:

  • warm up the power unit to operating temperature;
  • loosen the distributor fastening with a 13mm wrench and slowly turn it clockwise and counterclockwise;
  • achieve smooth, stable engine speed at idle (800-850 rpm);
  • fix the PP in the found position.

How to check correct ignition while driving

To do this, you need to accelerate the car to a speed of 50 km/h in fourth gear and sharply press the gas pedal. If the ignition angle is set correctly, a detonation ringing will appear, disappearing after a couple of seconds. If it does not disappear, the ignition is too early.

If there is no detonation at all, and acceleration is sluggish, this indicates late ignition of the mixture in the cylinders. In such cases, stop the car and turn the RR 3-5 degrees, then accelerate again. Repeat the operation until you achieve the desired result.

The frequency of checking the ignition timing on engines with a carburetor is every 15 thousand km.
