Any work car engine depends not only on the state of mechanisms and assemblies, but also on the correctly set ignition angle (hereinafter - US). Naturally, domestic cars, in particular, we will talk about the legendary "Sixes", are no exception. This material will allow you to find out how to set the ignition on a VAZ 2106 and what nuances should be taken into account in order to avoid mistakes.

Step-by-step guide to tuning ignition

As you know, in the work of electronic or contactless ignition there are no disadvantages typical for contact systems. For example, a car enthusiast is not faced with adjusting and setting the gap in the contact group. If you do not know how to properly adjust the advance angle by the light bulb and by marks, then below is presented detailed instructions for setting on the first cylinder.

Before we explain how posting is done, check out what the labels mean:

• the first mark is located clockwise, it means that the ultrasound is 10 degrees;
• the second, that is, the middle mark is used to adjust the ultrasound by five degrees;
• as for the last mark, in accordance with it, an ultrasound equal to zero degrees is set; with this setting, the combustible mixture will ignite at the moment when the piston enters TDC.

The marks themselves are aligned by rotating the crankshaft or by acting on the ratchet. Alternatively, you can use a special wrench to adjust the nut.

Tools and materials

So, before setting up KM, you need the following:

• a key for extracting candles;
• special key for turning crankshaft;
• wrench 13;
• a special device for controlling the settings, for example, it can be a voltmeter, a 12 volt control lamp or a stroboscope (video author - Nail Poroshin) is also suitable.

Stages

So, how to regulate ultrasound with your own hands:

1. First you need to turn off the ignition, then open the hood and reset the terminal c. Using a key, you will need to unscrew the spark plug from the first cylinder. Having done this, the technological hole to the cylinder block will need to be covered with a finger or with a rubber stopper.
2. Having done this, it is necessary to turn the shaft to the right with a wrench for the crankshaft until pressure begins to flow from the hole for the spark plug. This will indicate the start of the compression stroke. When this happens, the plug should pop out, but if you closed the hole with your finger, you will definitely feel that the air will squeeze it out.
3. The crankshaft should be turned until the marks on its pulley and the timing cover match. There is still one point to consider regarding the fuel used. For example, if you are filling the car with 92 or 95 fuel, then the risk on the pulley should be located opposite the middle mark. If the fuel is 80 or lower, then the mark should be aligned with the long mark, which, as mentioned above, means zero degrees. Then you will need to unfasten the latches, as well as dismantle the distributor cover.
4. After the crankshaft stops, the distributor should be turned with an external contact to the cylinder number 1, in which you unscrewed the spark plug. When the risks are aligned and this is done correctly, you will need to mentally draw a segment from the distribution unit latch - it should run parallel to the engine axis. If this is not the case, the fixing nut will need to be unscrewed a little, then turn the device up. The nut itself should be aligned parallel to the motor axis, for this you will need to turn the rotor.
5. After completing these steps, you will need to set the moment itself. To complete this task, you will need to connect the power, that is, throw the previously disconnected terminal onto the battery. Next, using a 13 wrench, loosen the nut with which the distribution unit is fixed.
6. Now you need a test lamp with wires connected to it - one of the contacts should be connected to ground, and the other is connected to the low-voltage contact on the coil. Then the key in the lock must be turned to position I and the ignition is activated, the light will turn on. After that, carefully start turning the distributor from left to right until the lamp goes out. In the event that the light source did not initially burn, then this indicates that nothing needs to be done.
7. After that, the distribution unit will need to be turned to the left, that is, in back side... When the control starts to burn, the fixing nut will need to be tightened, this will allow the distributor itself to be fixed in place.
8. Having done this, it will be necessary to turn off the ignition and reinstall the switchgear cover. In fact, this completes the adjustment procedure, now you know how to set the ultrasound, but this is not the end of the operation. An obligatory step will be to diagnose the work performed.

The check is done as follows:

1. Get behind the wheel and start the power unit, you will need to warm it up to working temperature... Start moving, you need to accelerate to about 40-50 km / h. When the car accelerates to such a speed, you must turn on the fourth gear and continue driving on it, while not accelerating.
2. Hit the gas sharply. A few seconds after that, detonation, the knock of metal on metal, should be heard from under the hood. Note that the detonation should ideally stop after the car has reached about 5 km of speed. If so, then the check can be completed.
3. In the event that the detonation remains, then it is necessary to adjust the position of the distribution mechanism, since the reason for this is most likely due to the too early set of ultrasound. If there was no knock of metal at all, then the reason, most likely, lies in the late ultrasound. In the first case, the distributor must be scrolled to the right by literally 1 degree, in the second - to the left, by the same amount. This operation is performed until the detonation lasts more than one and a half seconds.
4. When the setting is completed, on the distributor, a risk should be noted, which demonstrates the position of the middle mark in accordance with the BC. If the detonation appears on time and also disappears on time, then the switchgear housing can be put in place. The adjustment procedure can be considered complete (video by Evgeny Alexandrovich).

Good to know

The following symptoms may indicate the need to adjust the timing:

1. Noises appeared during operation of the power unit. Strong knock and incorrect engine operation may indicate the need to adjust the ultrasound. With such iCE operation the engine piston is only up, and the ignition occurs towards it. In this case, the work of the power unit will be more rigid.
2. IN exhaust pipe pops appear. The cotton itself is likely to follow, and the gases take longer to expand. The moment the piston hits the lowest point, the next stroke in the cylinder will correspond to the exhaust stroke. It should be noted that part of the explosion of fuel will fall into the muffler, resulting in a pop.
3. Increased gas mileage may also indicate the need for adjustment. If the moment of advance is set too late, then the dynamics vehicle will generally decrease. And to accelerate, the motor will need more combustible mixture, which affects fuel consumption.

Adjust and adjust the engine classical model VAZ is both useful and very entertaining and exciting for those who appreciate these cars together with their simple reliable motors. If you can independently set the ignition on your "six", then you can be considered a specialist who will understand any node of this fairly mature car model. The correct operation of the engine will depend on how much this mechanism will work correctly. Also, the amount of fuel consumed by the car, as well as all the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle, depends on this aspect.

There are several ways to set the ignition on the "six", but the most famous among them is the setting by marks. Most precisely, such a procedure is carried out using a special device - a stroboscope, which was created precisely for this purpose. But such a device in an ordinary garage is a rarity, all the more, you can do with the usual devices that lie in every toolbox. Before carrying out work, you will need to find a crankshaft key, a "13" key and a 12 volt indicator light. The procedure is as follows:

1) The engine must be turned off and the “-” terminal must be disconnected from the battery;

2) Move the piston in the first cylinder of the engine to the ignition position. To do this, you will need to remove the corresponding candle. The resulting hole must be closed with your finger, while simultaneously scrolling the crankshaft with a key in the clockwise direction;

3) At the moment when the compression stroke comes, you will feel that the finger is being pushed out by the air with great force, which is what you need to get;

4) Further, it will be extremely important to exactly align the pulley mark with the second mark, which you need to look for on the cover of the gas distribution mechanism drive. The middle mark identifies the fact that an incendiary lead of 5 degrees is set;

5) Sometimes finding labels is a bit difficult, but they are there anyway. To find them, you will need to thoroughly walk with a metal brush on the surface, and then expose a brighter light.

6) After the labels are set, the key can be removed. You will also need to return the candle to its place and connect the armored wire.

The next stage is setting the ignition timing. This procedure also implies a clear sequence of actions:

1) The "-" terminal must be connected to the battery;

2) Using the 13th wrench, you need to slightly loosen the mounting nut on the ignition distributor;

3) Next, you need to use a control light, which has two wires. The first must be connected to the ground terminal, and the second must be connected to the low-voltage ignition coil;

4) It is necessary to turn the key to the "I" position in order to turn on the ignition;

5) It is necessary to carefully turn the distributor housing in the clockwise direction up to the position at which the lamp does not go out;

7) At the end, you need to screw the mount back and ride the car to check its behavior.

How can you check the completed work for correctness?

And for this there is a clear sequence of actions that need to be performed:

1) You can check the ignition itself while driving. To do this, you need to warm up the engine, and accelerate the car to a speed of 40-50 km / h. Then you need to switch to fourth gear and drive a little time without acceleration.

3) It will be normal if the sounds stop after a while, which will be enough for the speedometer to go through the 5 km / h division;

4) If the detonation is longer, then it will be necessary to correct the position of the distributor;

5) To do this, you need to turn the valve body clockwise by 1 degree;

6) If the detonation sound is very weak or is not heard at all, then you need to turn the distributor 1 degree counterclockwise;

7) This adjustment must be carried out until the duration of the detonation is in the range of 1 - 1.5 s.

After the installation or ignition adjustment has been carried out, you need to put the distributor in place correctly. To do everything right, you need:

1) Set the first cylinder of the engine to TDC (top dead center);

2) You can determine the location of this point after the candle has been unscrewed, and the hole is closed with a finger;

3) Then you need to find a mark on the crankshaft pulley. This mark must be aligned with the mark on the timing cover by turning the crankshaft clockwise;

5) At the very end, you need to put the distributor body.

One of the quickest ways to set the ignition is by ear. In this case, you need to do these steps:

1) First you need to loosen the fastener nut on the ignition distributor;

2) The engine needs to be warmed up, but not turned off, after which you need to turn the distributor housing in turn in different directions;

3) The number of revolutions should be approximately 2000 per minute;

4) Next, you need to listen to how the motor works. The best position - the highest number of revolutions comes out with quiet operation of the power unit without any failures;

5) When this position is found, you will need to tighten the mount. It's simple, isn't it?

The condition for a quick start of the engine and its smooth operation is a correctly set ignition. Due to its incorrect installation, it can occur, and its result will be serious consequences and. Experienced drivers put the ignition on the eye, others with a stroboscope, beginners usually go to a car service. However, with good result the move itself does not matter.

Required tools:

• key to "13";
• candle key;
• control (a voltmeter or a 12 volt light bulb can be used);

You can set the ignition on the first or fourth cylinder. On our website you can see a description of the ignition installation on the first cylinder.

Short, medium and long label on the lid the moment of ignition of the VAZ 2106 is shown.

How to set the ignition of a VAZ 2106 on your own

1. A short mark with a lead angle of 10 °.
2. Average - 5 °.
3. Long - 0 °.

The top dead center is indicated on the rim of the pulley, opposite the TDC there is a special sag on the pulley.

1. the first cylinder, cover the spark plug hole with your finger or a rubber stopper.

How to set the ignition of a VAZ 2106 on your own

1. Turn the crankshaft with a special key until the compression act occurs in the 1st cylinder (the piston rises up). This will cause the plug to fly out or you will feel pressure on your finger.
2. Turn until the mark on the pulley aligns with the mark on the timing cover. When using "92" or "95" grade of gasoline, you need to combine the mark with the middle arrow, if the grade is lower, then with the long one (corresponding to the zero lead angle).
3. Unfasten the latches, remove the cover from the ignition distributor.
4. After the crankshaft has been turned, the distributor rotor should be in a position in which its outer contact will be directed to 1 cylinder on the distributor cover.

1. After aligning the marks, it is worth considering the distributor. Try drawing an imaginary line through the latches on the cover, parallel to the axis of the engine. If this does not work, you need to follow these steps:
2. Turn up the distributor, unscrew the distributor retaining nut. While the rotor axis is rotating, align it parallel to the motor axis.
3. Install the distributor, tighten the nut, but do not tighten it completely.
4. After completing all these procedures, the ignition adjustment process can begin.
5. Connect the "control": attach one end to the "ground", the other set at the output of the ignition coil with a low-voltage distributor wire.
6. Switch on the ignition. Turn the distributor clockwise until the control lamp goes out. If the light is off initially, the valve does not need to be turned.
7. Rotate the distributor from right to left, fix the location of the distributor and tighten the fastening nut while the warning lamp comes on.
8. Turn off the ignition, replace the distributor cover.

You can check if the ignition is set correctly as follows:

1. Start the engine, start driving.
2. Accelerate the car to 45 kilometers per hour, turn on the 4th speed, sharply press the gas pedal.
3. After a few seconds detonation will appear (ringing of "fingers", claps). It will disappear with further acceleration of the car.
4. Conclusion that early ignition, can be done if the detonation does not disappear when the car accelerates, which "later" - if detonation did not occur. In the first case, turn from left to right by 0.5-1 division, in the second - from right to left by the same number of divisions. As soon as it is possible to adjust the ignition, mark the position of the middle mark on the distributor housing with paint.

With the correct execution of all actions, we can assume that you are good set ignition VAZ 2106.

Below is a video detailing the above process.

On the VAZ 2106 car models, the ignition system remained unchanged until 1980. Then, in the design of the VAZ 21065, a contactless transistor circuit of the ignition interrupter was first implemented. However, almost on most model versions of the "six", a contact ignition system (KSZ) was installed. Electromechanical system ignition with opening the distributor contacts is considered traditional for the classic VAZ 2106. It provides for the opening of the contact group using the R-125B ignition distributor.

The immutability of the ignition system gives a lot of experience in its correct installation and adjustment. Photo: el-ab.ru

How the ignition system works on the VAZ 2106

The system consists of the following components:

1. ignition lock;
2. distributor;
3. coils;
4. high / low voltage wires;
5. 4 candles.

Egnition lock VK347 in position "I" connects the battery to the ignition system, in the key position "II" the engine starts from the starter.

Interrupter-distributor (distributor)- connects spark plugs to the coil in the order of operation of cylinders 1-3-4-2. Creates an advanced ignition moment (in the compression stage) fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. Initially, the R-125B with a mechanical octane corrector was installed on the VAZ model, but it had a small adjustment range.

Since 1986, they began to install a breaker equipped with a vacuum ignition timing controller model 30.3706.

Coil represents a step-up 2-winding transformer that creates high-voltage pulses with voltage over 10 kV. The bobbin B 117-A is usually used, equipped with an open-type magnetic circuit.

Wirescarry out the transmission of high-voltage / low-voltage voltage to the actuators and spark plug elements of the system.

CandlesA17 DV or analogs create a spark (the gap between the electrodes is 0.5–0.6 mm) from the applied impulse voltage in the combustion chamber.

Electric current flows through the ignition circuit: plus (+) battery → ignition switch → coil → distributor → spark plugs.

When ignition adjustment is required

The correct ignition setting of the VAZ 2106 improves the ease of starting the car engine, the dynamics and resource of the power unit. Without fail, it is carried out after:

• overhaul of the engine or operations related to partial disassembly of the engine;
• reinstallation of the camshaft;
• burnout of valves;
• replacing the cylinder block gaskets, timing chain / belt.

What happens if there is no adjustment

Contactless ignition is one of the most popular tuning methods domestic cars... Photo: vaz-remzona.ru

If the ignition is advanced, a metallic sound will appear when the engine is running, the engine is unstable, the idle speed "floats", the tractive effort drops, and the fuel is overspending.

With late ignition, engine throttle response drops, the engine cokes with carbon deposits, as a result of which it quickly heats up. To accelerate the car, it is required to press the accelerator pedal hard.

The consequence of incorrectly set ignition is premature wear of the cylinder-piston group, engine jamming from overheating and failure of vehicle components.

How to properly adjust the ignition on your own

The ignition can be adjusted in a repair shop using a stroboscope or independently. From tools and equipment you will need a crankshaft key, a key for “13”, a control lamp for 12 V, which can be replaced with a voltmeter. First, unfasten the latches and remove the distributor cover. At the first stage of work:

1. Disconnect the (-) battery terminal.
2. On an idle power unit, set the piston of the first cylinder to the position corresponding to the compression phase (spark slip) before top dead point.
3. To do this, unscrew the spark plug of the first cylinder and plug the hole in the cylinder head with your finger.
4. Turning the crankshaft with a wrench, choose a position in which air will push the finger out of the hole.
5. We combine two marks: on the pulley and the timing cover. The latter has a long (0 °), medium (5 °) and short (10 °) risks, indicating a different ignition timing. It is necessary to combine the risk with the middle timing mark, which means setting the ignition timing to 5 °.
6. Screw back the spark plug and connect the high voltage cable.

At the second stage of work, we determine the ignition moment:

1. Connect the (-) battery terminal.
2. Using a wrench, loosen the nut on “13” of the distributor fastening.
3. We connect using crocodile clips one end of the control light is connected to the ground, the other is connected to the low-voltage wire of the bobbin.
4. We connect the central wire of the breaker to the ground.
5. We turn the ignition key to position "I", the control lamp will light up.
6. We very slowly turn the distributor body clockwise until the light turns off.
7. We turn the slider of the distributor counterclockwise until the lamp is turned on.
8. Fixing the position of the mechanism with one hand, tighten the distributor fixing nut with the other hand.

A quick way to adjust the ignition "by ear" in an emergency

In unforeseen circumstances, it may be necessary to adjust the ignition on the road. To do this, on a running internal combustion engine with a suction (carburetor choke), set approximately 2000 rpm. engine. Loosen the distributor and rotate the body alternately in both directions. Listening to the sound of the engine, choose the optimal position of the distributor. Power unit must develop the maximum number of revolutions and work without "dips". In the found position, we fix the distributor.

Checking the correct ignition adjustments

Checking along the way will help identify deficiencies in the adjustment, for this you should:

• while driving, develop the car on the road up to 40-50 km / h and, having switched to the 4th speed, sharply press the gas pedal to the floor;
• ringing of "fingers" will appear and detonation will occur, which should appear within 2-3 seconds ;
• if the detonation lasts longer (sometimes it does not stop some time after the engine is turned off), it is necessary to make a later ignition, loosen the fastener and turn the distributor 1 ° clockwise;
• in the absence of detonation and ringing of fingers, more early ignition, it is necessary to turn the body of the breaker 1 ° counterclockwise;
• after bringing the body of the breaker to the optimal position, tighten the fastening nut.

Conclusion

If the adjustment range is not enough to set the required parameters of the ignition system, you should pay attention to the serviceability of the system components. KSZ remains operational, but interruptions occur or does not work correctly? It is necessary to check the health of the following functional elements:

• breaker contacts, which often burn or melt;
• bearing of the movable plate of the distributor;
• textolite pads or breaker lever bushings, they wear out over time;
• bobbin windings for turn-to-turn circuit, breakage or stitching to ground;
• armored wires / spark plug tips.

Consider setting the ignition timing (ignition timing) on \u200b\u200b"classic" cars VAZ 2101, 2102, 2103, 2104, 2105, 2106, 2107, 2121 s contact system ignition and their modifications. The need to set the ignition timing may arise after removing and installing the ignition distributor (distributor), or when trying to tune the engine operation more optimally. An incorrectly set ignition moment threatens the emergence of a number of problems in the operation of the engine. Some of them are: drop in power and throttle response, increased consumption fuel volatile idling, problems with starting the engine, shots and pops in the muffler, black smoke from the muffler, burned out valves, etc.

All work on setting the ignition timing on VAZ 2101-2107 cars can be carried out without the use of any special tools and devices. The use of a stroboscope, a control lamp does not make much sense, since at the end of the installation of the ignition timing, it will be necessary to check its correctness on a moving car. Of the tools you need only:

- Open-end or 13 mm box wrench.

- Open-end or special wrench 38 mm.

Preparatory work

- We put the car on the hand brake;

Setting the ignition timing on VAZ 2101-2107 cars

We set the ignition timing under the 92nd gasoline.

1. Combine the mark on the crankshaft pulley and the mark on the front cover of the engine (the middle of the three available there).

To do this, use a special wrench (or a 38 mm open-end wrench) to slowly rotate the crankshaft by the ratchet until they match.

2. We install the distributor with latches parallel to the engine, the contact of the slider should look at the 4th cylinder (determine by the cover of the distributor).

The breaker contacts must be closed. Lightly press the distributor body with the holder.

3. Turn on the ignition and slowly turn the distributor body until the breaker contacts open. A spark will slip between the contacts.

This will be the desired ignition moment. Tighten the distributor holder nut with a 13 mm wrench.

Checking the correct ignition timing

Driving a car at a speed of 45-50 km / h in 4th gear on a flat road, abruptly, for a short time, press the gas pedal. Listen to the engine running at the same time. A short-term detonation - 1-3 seconds (knock of "fingers") indicates correct installation ignition timing, too long, no detonation. It is necessary to correct the advance angle by rotating the distributor (counterclockwise - we make the ignition earlier, clockwise - later). Then check again.

Notes and additions

- There are situations when, with correct set angle ignition timing (short detonation when driving), on VAZ 2101-2107 cars, engine idling leaves much to be desired. In these cases, many simply twist the distributor, setting the ignition a little early to stabilize the idle. It is advisable to eliminate this malfunction by adjusting the carburetor, and not by rotating the distributor, since the correct ignition timing set earlier is lost.
