Good day,
First of all, the topic is addressed to those who had at least some experience of operating a LADA car.
The cause of the malfunction in the engine (1.6, injector, 8 cl. Euro-3).
Signs:so that everyone understands what is wrong with the engine - I’ll say more simply: all the signs of an advanced stage of a clogged catalyst!
(i.e., poor engine start, does not develop revs, high operating temperature of the engine during prolonged operation, does not eat AT ALL in any way, you have to unload like an old motorcycle, even in order to get off normally). I'll say right away - it's not about him!

Now a little background:the car was purchased new in 2005, initially the engine seemed "strangled". But without paying attention to this, they referred to the reason for its Euro-3 environmental class (it was not possible to compare the dynamics of the engine at that time). So we traveled for several years.
By that time, the engine was becoming less dynamic, and, referring to its mileage (50-70 t.km), they decided that the catalyst had definitely melted. After listening to stories about how easy it is to get rid of him, we did not take into account one thing :) If everything were so simple, he turned out to be metal, not kiramic))). A separate story is how we got rid of it, but the result was still achieved. We start the engine, get under way and ... OH GOD! its dynamics did not change in any way, only it became louder ((((
At about the same time, another malfunction appeared: the engine started to warm up during operation (high-quality antifreeze was used from the moment the car was operated !!). Now he not only does not pull, but also heats up.
The next struggle began with the second wrong.
The temperature sensor was replaced, then the pump, then the thermostat, then again the temperature sensor, and then the radiator itself. All of this continued throughout the year.
Here we decided that the increased operating temperature of the engine is a side effect of its first malfunction.
Are the tags lost? No, everything is fine.
Again all forces were thrown into the search for the first reason.
The next step was to change the engine program to Euro-2 class. We get under way - the result is zero! ... We continue to ride.
The dynamics of the car over time became comparable to a loaded car with 3, 4, 5, 10 sacks of potatoes, and then it was as if you were towing a car. Mileage is already 100-130 t.km.
It's time to change the grid of the fuel pump - the result is zero, then the fuel pump - the result is zero, cleaning the injectors - the same story.
I am already silent how many diagnostics have been done since the moment of operation. The parameters are always normal, but the question "why does not it pull?" there are no exact answers. "Try to change that, do this, check the labels."
I've been checking the timing marks like a fool almost every month for several years now - in case they suddenly got lost?
If only I knew earlier what result these troubleshooting would lead to (
What is most interesting is that all the repairs done were typical for the operation of a LADA car, but only now I understand that most of them were in vain.
Perhaps I would have continued to drive like this, but since last week the car stopped driving altogether. It accelerates only to a quarter of the gas and then in a straight line, and when starting up the hill, where it is necessary to give more gas, it completely chokes (buzzing and eating 1-2 km / h).

Maybe there are GURU and SENSEY among you who will tell you what is the reason?

PS I have the most extensive experience in operating the domestic auto industry, and I myself am a mechanic by profession, I thought that LADA cars were studied up and down. He was doing the repairs himself, and it seemed that the signs were typical. BUT THIS OCCASION PUT ME ON KEEL.
