Carburetor engine
The operation of an engine with a carburetor has a classic scheme:
- When the ignition key is turned to the "Starter" position, the electronic system supplies power to it.
- The generator starts working.
- The generator transmits electric current to the coil. It is used to produce high-voltage currents. Low voltage currents are supplied to the coil. Passing through the module, they are transformed into high-voltage ones and transmitted via a high-voltage wire to the distributor.
- Using high-voltage currents, the distributor drive rotates the crankshaft of the power unit. He closes the contacts in order of priority and delivers an electric discharge to the spark plugs.
The principle of operation is reflected in the electrical circuit of an engine with a carburetor.
Classic wiring diagram - carburetor
Classic ignition
The contact system includes the following elements:
- switch;
- coil;
- distributor;
- high voltage wires;
- candles.
Thanks to the distributor, the circuit of the primary winding of the ignition module is interrupted, and then the high-voltage current is distributed in the required sequence to the spark plugs. With the help of a coil, low voltage current is converted into high voltage current. The spark plugs ignite the fuel mixture in the engine cylinders.
Classic ignition system
If the engine does not start when you turn the ignition key, the reason may be as follows:
- An open circuit between the generator and the coil. In this case, you need to check all contacts and the integrity of the electrical wiring.
- The coil is faulty. It can be checked using a spark: remove the wire from the distributor and touch the metal part. If a spark appears during operation of the power unit, it means the module is working.
- A break in the electrical circuit between the distributor and the spark plugs. In this case, you need to check inside the distributor cover, the slider located there, and the high voltage wiring connecting the distributor cover to the spark plugs.

After identifying and eliminating a malfunction in the carburetor, the engine should start without problems if the other components of the car are working properly.
Electronic ignition
Some VAZ 2107 models that were produced after 1987 had a contactless ignition system installed. Although the car was more expensive, it was in demand. The innovation was that an electronic switch was installed between the distributor and the coil.
The contactless ignition system includes:
- switch;
- ignition switch;
- coil;
- distributor sensor;
- high voltage wires;
- candles.
Contactless ignition system
Using the distributor sensor, control signals are transmitted to the switch to generate a spark and high-voltage current pulses are distributed across the spark plugs. The function of the switch is to convert control pulses from the contactless sensor into a pulse current that is supplied to the primary winding of the coil. Thus, it improves spark formation if the engine runs on a lean fuel mixture.
The switch is tested with a spark. If during testing the distributor does not receive a high voltage pulse, it means that the switch is faulty and requires replacement.
If after replacing the switch with a new one the problem remains, then it is necessary to replace the electrical wiring on the VAZ 2107. Most likely, the reason lies in the high resistance of the wiring cores, this entails a weak spark formation.
