Do it yourself ignition adjustment of the VAZ 2106. The correct ignition setting on the Six: instructions for owners

Adjustment and refinement of engines of classic VAZ models bring not only benefit, but also real pleasure to connoisseurs of classics and reliable simple Togliatti engines. Without the ability to perform basic adjustments, a true connoisseur has no moral right to drive a classic model, which includes the VAZ 2106. If you have some gaps with this, then today we will try to fill them, at least partially. To do this, we will deal with the adjustment of the ignition system of the VAZ 2106.

  Why adjust the ignition

Yes, contactless ignition is partly more accurate and slightly more reliable, and modern engines require a minimum of adjustments. They corrupted the public, which has forgotten how to perform basic operations to maintain the car. Therefore, today we will consider how to correctly set contact ignition on the VAZ 2106, and if everything is done correctly, you will not recognize your six.

  The principle of operation of the distributor

For the adjustment work, we will need the following tools:

  • set of adjustment probes;
  • flat screwdriver;
  • candle key;
  • curve starter;
  • open end wrench 12x13;
  • patience and 15 minutes of time.

The meaning of all further work is reduced to ensure that the spark generated on, jumped precisely at the moment when the piston at the end of the compression stroke is not in the position of top dead center, but a little earlier. For each engine this is “a little” different, but according to the factory parameters, the lead angle for the VAZ 2106 should be 1 degree, and for a penny, for example, 3 degrees. Thus, the ignition of the working mixture occurs at the optimum time and does not impede the movement of the piston, contributes to the complete combustion of the working mixture.

To realize this, each cylinder in turn uses an ignition distributor, a distributor, which supplies a spark to the candles, according to the order of operation of the cylinders. The order of the cylinders must be known, as the multiplication table - 1,3,4,2. The main working bodies of the distributor are the contacts and the slider. The slider distributes the voltage across the cylinders through the cover, and the contacts by closing and opening determine the moment of appearance of the spark. In short, so.

  Conditions for successful ignition adjustment

We can adjust the ignition a thousand times, but if at least one of the points below is not fulfilled, we simply lose time:

  1. All four candles must be in working condition. They must have a visually working appearance, break through the tester for candles, not have external damage to the ceramic shirt, otherwise the candle will break through the body and work unstably.
  2. The breaker contacts are cleaned and in perfect condition, the gap between them should be 0.4-0.45 mm.
  3. High-voltage wires must be intact, without damage, have good contact with the distributor, candle caps and the ignition coil.
  4. The drive of the vacuum ignition lead is connected, its stroke is free, without jamming.

Only in this case, you can begin to adjust.

  Ignition timing adjustment

Suppose the worst case is when we needed to remove the distributor from the car and the ignition settings were completely lost. Without further ado, we get down to business.

In the same way, adjustment is carried out using a light bulb, only the lamp is connected into the gap with the contacts of the chopper.

  Strobe Adjustment

The easiest way to adjust, but in this case you will have to buy a strobe. It is connected to the cap of the candle and two wires go to power the device. Adjustment is idling. To determine the moment of ignition, we direct the strobe to the crankshaft pulley, and the strobe lamp will duplicate the appearance of a spark and should highlight the moment of coincidence of the marks on the cover and on the pulley, which we spoke about. Rotating the distributor, we achieve the coincidence of marks, we fix the distributor. If it is impossible to catch the mark, then the distributor capacitor is defective or the breaker contacts are poorly cleaned.

In these simple ways, we will definitely be able to set the ignition on, eliminating detonation, increased fuel consumption and loss of engine power of the VAZ 2106. A stable spark for you, and good luck on the road!

The operation of the engine directly depends on the serviceability of the ignition and fuel supply systems. They determine engine power, fuel consumption, throttle response, ease of starting. Failure to adjust the ignition timing of the carburetor engine leads to detonation, glow ignition, an increase in exhaust temperature and a quick failure of the unit. There are several ways to set the ignition on the VAZ 2106. All of them are simple and accessible to a novice motorist.

The motors installed on the VAZ 2106 differ in working volume, but have the same design. Trambler, timing parts, front cover with marks and crankshaft pulley are interchangeable during repair. There is contact (KSZ) and non-contact (BSZ) ignition systems. In the first case, the opening of the contacts occurs mechanically when turning the shaft of the distributor by 90 0. In the second version, a Hall sensor and a controller are used, which allows you to accurately determine the moment of supply of the spark to the cylinders.

The simplest contact system consists of the following elements:

  • Ignition switch, it's a switch;
  • Ignition coil with two windings for high voltage;
  • Mechanical breaker, opening the primary winding of the coil at the right time;
  • Rotor and contact cover for voltage distribution to spark plugs;
  • Centrifugal and vacuum regulators;
  • Transistor to reduce the current in the primary winding and extend the service life;
  • Spark plug;
  • High voltage wires.

The principle of operation of any ignition system is as follows. At the moment when the piston in the cylinder is in the upper position and compresses the fuel mixture to the maximum, the coil windings open. High voltage passes through the distributor cap through the high-voltage wire to the corresponding spark plug, on the electrodes of which a powerful spark occurs. Ignition occurs. This process is called the piston stroke.

With an increase in engine speed, the ignition timing (SPL) changes, and the centrifugal regulator makes the angle optimal. The vacuum regulator biases the angle depending on the vacuum in the intake manifold. This allows you to achieve optimal power in all modes of engine operation.

Symptoms

Ignition adjustment on the machine is required after engine repair or removal of the distributor. Like any mechanical system, it tends to wear out, characteristic symptoms appear:

  • The engine will not start or malfunction. If gas enters the carburetor, the reason lies in the incorrect setting of the ignition angle or offset marks on the timing chain.
  • Decrease in dynamics of dispersal and deterioration of elasticity of the motor. Ignition of the mixture does not occur at the optimal time, so the efficiency is reduced.
  • Increased fuel consumption. This happens with late ignition, when to get the same dynamics you have to actively press the gas pedal. Part of the gasoline does not have time to burn and flies into the exhaust pipe.
  • Late ignition causes popping in the muffler when ignition of an unburned fuel mixture occurs when the exhaust valve opens.
  • Rigid engine operation is possible with early ignition of gasoline in the cylinders. An explosion at the moment the piston does not reach TDC causes a characteristic rattling sound and ringing.

Having found a malfunction, you should check the correct installation of the ignition on the VAZ 2106, and if necessary adjust it. To work, you will need a candle key, a key to "13", a light bulb or a strobe, a plate probe.

Instructions for setting the ignition VAZ 2106

We will analyze 3 known methods for adjusting the ignition angle on VAZ engines.

With a strobe (by tags)

This method allows you to very accurately set the ignition on the marks, and does not require removal of the distributor and valve cover. The entire adjustment process takes 5 minutes. The strobe can be found in any car shop. The procedure is as follows:

  1. On a muffled car, weaken the nut of the mount of the distributor, having previously made a mark on the initial position on its body;
  2. On the front cover of the engine we find two short and one long mark, we clear them of dirt and oil;
  3. We connect the negative wire of the stroboscope to the “mass” of the engine, the positive wire to the ignition coil, and a special clip to the high-voltage wire of the first cylinder;
  4. We start the engine and turn on the strobe. The light from his lamp aimed at the pulley will show the true position of the ignition moment;
  5. Slowly turning the distributor housing, we achieve the alignment of the mark on the crankshaft pulley and tides on the front cover;
  6. We check the engine speed by the tachometer and, if necessary, adjust the idle speed on the carburetor;
  7. Tighten the lock nut of the distributor.

Labels have a value of 0 0, 5 0 and 10 0 relative to top dead center (TDC). For proper operation on 92 gasoline, an advance of 0 degrees is chosen.

Light installation

If there is no strobe at hand, and the ignition needs to be set accurately, it is recommended to use a simple 12-volt automobile lamp. Two wires with stripped contacts are soldered to it. The settings are made in the following sequence:


We set the ignition by ear

Quickly adjusting the approximate position of the distributor is possible without any devices. It takes a little patience and a good ear. This method is applicable only if the carburetor and timing are in good condition. We act in this way:

  • We start the engine, let it warm up to operating temperature, the throttle handle in the carburetor must be recessed;
  • Slightly weaken the fastener of the distributor and begin to gently turn it;
  • When turning at large angles, the engine will stall or vice versa increase speed;
  • It is necessary to achieve smooth idle speed in the range of 700-800 rpm without extraneous knocks and knocking;
  • In this position, we fix the distributor.

Such adjustment by ear requires checking on the road or with a stroboscope, but for the initial setup it is the best option.

How to install non-contact (electronic) ignition

Installing electronic ignition is the easiest way to improve engine performance. Replacing a contactless system gives these advantages:

  • Confident cold start;
  • Stable engine operation at any speed;
  • High reliability;
  • Spark plug life is extended;
  • Powerful spark;
  • No clearance or centrifugal adjuster required.

The complete set includes a distributor with a Hall sensor, a special ignition coil and a switch. High-voltage wires may be left old.

To install contactless ignition instead of the old one, we need a key on “13” and “10”, two screws for attaching the switch and a strobe for adjusting the lead angle.

The order of the work performed:

  1. We bring the crankshaft pulley to the mark on the engine cover, the piston of the first cylinder should be at TDC.
  2. Disconnect battery negative terminal.
  3. Remove the cover from the old distributor and note the position of the slider relative to the engine. This will help to quickly install and configure a new distributor.
  4. We disconnect the wire coming from the ignition coil, unscrew the latch with the key “13” and remove the distributor from the engine block.
  5. We install the new distributor according to the marks made, trying to combine the marks on the body and the position of the slider. Fastening is not fully tightened.
  6. We replace the ignition coil with a new one and install the switch under the hood. We place the electronic unit in a dry place, away from heated parts. For example, on the wing or motor shield.
  7. We connect the wiring according to the scheme in the instructions to the BSZ. We connect high-voltage wires.
  8. Close the distributor cover and tighten the fastening nut. The system is installed and ready to go. It remains only to adjust the ignition timing.

Checking the ignition angle while driving

Checking the performance of the ignition system after any adjustment is best done in motion. This is due to the design features of the distributor and the octane rating of the gasoline used. It so happens that the ignition angles set by the marks do not provide sufficient dynamics and responsiveness. Adjustment by ear at the beginning of detonation will help:

  • We accelerate the car to a speed of 45-50 km / h on a flat stretch of road;
  • We turn on the direct gear (on the VAZ 2106 fourth) and press the gas pedal all the way;
  • A characteristic ringing (detonation) should appear, which will disappear in 2-3 seconds, and the acceleration will be smooth and powerful without failures;
  • If the detonation does not disappear during the entire acceleration, then the ignition angle is “early”;
  • The complete absence of ringing and sluggish dynamics indicate the delay of the spark in the cylinders;
  • We adjust the position of the distributor in place, turning it by 3-5 degrees;
  • When the adjustment is complete, the position of the distributor housing relative to the unit is marked with mark or paint.

Work on adjusting the ignition should be carried out regularly. The maintenance interval for a simple contact ignition system is 15,000 km, for an electronic one - twice as much. The condition of spark plugs and high-voltage wires is also regularly checked. All configuration operations can easily be done independently; a garage is not needed for this. The self-repair ignition skill of the VAZ 2106 will always come in handy on a long journey or in winter when problems arise with starting.

The ignition system plays a very important role in the operation of the internal combustion engine. A large number of parameters depend on it, which greatly affect the overall behavior of the car. Therefore, each driver of the Russian automobile industry must know how to set the ignition on the VAZ 2106.

An ignition system is needed to create an electrical impulse that ignites the air-fuel mixture inside the cylinder. Depending on the modification of the car, it can be contact and non-contact. Recently, it is common on a non-contact basis and works using a transistor circuit.

The central part of the system is a distributor, inside of which there is a movable contact, which transmits an electrical impulse to high-voltage cables.

The latter are connected to spark plugs.  A Hall sensor is installed at the middle of the distributor, which determines the angular position of the distributor and transmits this information to the switch. He sends a signal to the ignition coil, which converts 12 volts to 25 kilovolts. The distributor itself works from the crankshaft, so its operation is clearly synchronized. Injection engines use an ignition module, which itself sets the desired timing.

The operation of the contact system has a similar principle of operation, however, the layout does not include a switch and a Hall sensor. The very essence of the action must follow the order of sparking, which must occur exactly at the moment when the piston is at top dead center. Moreover, this process should occur with a certain lead, because the mixture does not begin to burn immediately, but after a short period of time. Thus, at the moment when the maximum pressure arises in the cylinder, the piston will reach the highest point and go down.

The result of this interaction is the emergence of two terms that imply early and late ignition. In fact, the ignition should be a little early, and this angle should not exceed 5 percent. If it is too large, the mixture will ignite too early, which is typical for the appearance of detonation, when the mixture burns too early and the motor starts to heat up more than in normal mode.

This is a very dangerous mode and can lead to serious damage.

Another problem is late ignition.. In this case, gasoline burns too late and the cylinders move more by inertia than from fuel combustion. Because of this, there are power losses, backache in the muffler, as well as increased fuel consumption. If these signs are detected, as well as with increased engine overheating, it is necessary to adjust the ignition timing.

The process of adjusting the ignition VAZ 2106

In fact, there is nothing complicated, and drivers have invented many ways, the main of which is the use of a strobe. Of course, this is a very accurate method that allows you to configure the ignition on any carburetor car as correctly as possible. However, the stroboscope itself costs about 600 rubles, when the ignition adjustment for the VAZ 2106 in a car service will cost 300. This suggests that it makes sense to use a standard set of tools and save this amount of money.

You will need a ratchet (it can be replaced with a jack), as well as a 13 key, a candle key and a cork corresponding to the candle hole. Now you will learn how to set the ignition completely from scratch. To do this, first you need to find the top dead center of the first cylinder in the compression stroke. Unscrew the candles and insert the plug in the first cylinder.

Using a ratchet, rotate the crankshaft until the plug comes out. This moment is considered the point of maximum air compression in the cylinder. The mark on the crankshaft pulley and the long mark on the bearing cover must fit together. To create the necessary lead, it is recommended to set it to the second mark, which will correspond to an angle of 5 degrees. After that, you no longer need to rotate the crankshaft.

If you do not have ratchet, you can rotate the motor using the rear wheel. For this, the gearbox must be set to fourth speed, and the wheel should be lifted with a jack. To avoid accidental falling, it is recommended to install chocks and a support under the machine.

Now take the key to 13 and unscrew the bolt lock of the distributor of your VAZ 2106. After removing the lock, pull out the distributor and set it so that its slider is opposite the pin 1 of the cylinder on the cover of the distributor. After that, you can assemble it, but do not tighten the bolt. Lower the machine and prepare to start.

Now two people are needed: the first will rotate the starter, and the second will set the lead angle. Grasp the octane corrector with your hand and ask your partner to start the starter. It is possible that it will not start, at this moment you should slowly move the distributor until the moment the engine starts. This will be the point at which you set the correct ignition timing. When the engine starts, it will be necessary to continue to rotate the distributor until the most stable operation of the engine of your VAZ 2106.

That's all. This is how the ignition adjustment process on a VAZ 2106 car looks. Thus, this can be done without the participation of car service specialists, as well as saving some amount of money. We wish you good luck on the road!

Unfortunately, in spite of the wide variety of cars in our time, both new and experienced cars can be damaged. That is why you need to be prepared to solve problems. For example, if you can correctly set the ignition on your car, then you can deal with any device of this car. It is very important that the ignition works correctly, because the correct operation of the engine directly depends on this. In addition, this affects the fuel consumption of the car. Therefore, the owners of the “six” need to know how to set the ignition on the VAZ 2106 independently.

In general, this procedure is not any complicated and if you study it correctly, you can save your time and money by visiting a vehicle repair service center.

To the advantages of carburetor engines of VAZ cars  include the fact that their maintenance is quite easy and they have high maintainability. But, it is worth noting that it is precisely carburetor VAZs that sometimes may require the installation of ignition manually.

Setting the ignition on the VAZ 2106 must be done in the following situations:

  1. You noticed that the fuel flow rate has increased. This happens due to an incorrect ignition setting of the VAZ 2106 (carburetor). Ignition can also be one of the reasons. When the ignition in the vehicle is late, the dynamic performance of the vehicle is reduced.
  2. The dynamism of the car is lost. In this situation, a situation occurs when the explosion catches up with the piston.
  3. Shots are heard that go to the silencer. If the explosion goes after it, the gases expand longer.
  4. Increased noise in the engine compartment. Setting the ignition on the Lada must be done if you began to notice that there are knocks in the engine. This indicates that when the piston goes up, then it meets with an explosion.

How to install the ignition on the VAZ-2106

In order to perform this procedure accurately, use a stroboscope. But not every motorist has it in his garage. Therefore, in the conditions of work carried out in the garage, you can use improvised devices. You need to have a 12-volt light element and a key designed for the crankshaft. In addition, you will need a key for "thirteen."

The ignition adjustment in the "Classic" is carried out with the engine off. Initially, the candle is twisted. The piston cylinder goes into ignition mode. After the hole closes and rotation is performed. At the moment a finger is pushed out of the hole, it can be determined that the compression stroke has been performed. Next, the procedure involves connecting the armored wire. Next, it will be necessary to determine the ignition timing.

Take the key (“thirteen”) and unscrew the nut in the fasteners of the distribution system. Then take the light element with 2 wires. The first of them connect to the "mass", and the other to the ignition coil. The indicator should light up. Then the fastening is carried out. The car must be checked while driving. In addition, a huge amount of video has been uploaded to the Internet, with do-it-yourself adjustment of the ignition on the VAZ (2106).

The correct ignition on the VAZ-2106 is quite an important issue. This should be done directly while driving. Initially, the engine warms up, and after accelerating the vehicle to a speed of fifty kilometers. Then switch to 4th gear and continue driving without increasing speed. Now sharply push the gas all the way and listen to the engine. You will hear the sound of detonation or the so-called “ringing of fingers.” Work can be considered correct if this ringing after a certain time subsides. The speedometer needle spans 5 km per hour. When you observe detonation for a longer period of time, it’s worth adjusting the position of the distributor.


How to adjust the position of the distributor

If the knock is audible slightly or absent altogether, then it is worth turning the dial. So you need to adjust the ignition until the process settles up to one and a half seconds.

It is worth mentioning several possible situations of development during the implementation of this procedure.

So, the ignition order of the VAZ 2106 is as follows:

  1. When the detonation is very fast, that is, it disappears after a few seconds, this indicates a normal adjustment. If it is after five seconds, then the configuration is no longer necessary.
  2. Long detonation. To slow down this process, you need to stop and loosen the distributor housing, and turn it one compartment forward. Follow these steps until the process continues for the right amount of time.
  3. Knocking does not occur. This is not the right “symptom." In this situation, you need to turn the distributor in the direction of the minus.

The process of installing the ignition (on the VAZ 2106 model) and the failure in the distributor

If a breakdown occurs, replacing for further installation is not a big deal. For installation, it is necessary to perform the first cylinder of the motor on the BMT. After that, you need to find the mark located in the pulley and align it with the point located on the drive cover. You can find it by inserting your finger into the candle hole.

Remove the distributor cover and place the slider. Now you must insert the distributor housing. We do this procedure in the same way as mentioned above. But remember, to put the ignition on the VAZ-2106 in the best way possible only with the use of a stroboscope. It is unlikely that you have it at home, but you won’t get to the service station.

We loosen the fixing nut.

We warm up the internal combustion engine and without turning it off, we rotate the distributor housing in two directions, in turn (the number of revolutions per minute should reach about 2000). Listen to how the engine works. How to choose the best position? You can reach it when the highest number of revolutions is shown without failures. When you find this position, you can tighten the mount.

How to install an electronic type ignition

Everyone knows that having an electronic ignition system of a functioning type is more convenient, since it is non-contact and this has its display on the operation of the car. Any model of the “six” can be subjected to such changes, despite the year of its release. You just need to get the necessary tools. What you need to have:

  • drilling tool
  • key 13 (open-end), 8, 10;
  • ratchet wrench.

When you arrive, you will make a purchase of BSZ, then with it you will receive a set of necessary spare parts. In addition, installation instructions are necessarily included. Under the hood is the place where the switch and non-contact ignition coil are mounted. After installing these elements, you need to do the installation of the distributor. The outdated component will be directed to the 1st or 4th cylinder. It is necessary to remember in what position the distributor and the direction of the slider are. If necessary, mark these places. The new distributor must be installed in the same position. Next, you need to complete the ignition installation. How to install the ignition on the VAZ-2106 you already know, proceed according to the above instructions.

Remember that if you were able to correctly set the ignition on the classic, it means that you were able to ensure reliable operation of the engine on your "six". In addition, you now understand the device of your own car and can solve any problems that arise and fix any node in the system. Also, an important plus is the cost savings at the service station, because you did everything yourself. The main thing when performing the ignition on the VAZ 2106 is to follow the detailed instructions that are provided above, and you can easily perform this operation without additional help. It is also very important to have related tools at your disposal (key for a 13, 12-volt light bulb, etc.).

The process of servicing your vehicle must be approached with maximum responsibility. Learn the technical features of a car, understand operational performance and repair it yourself. Only in this case is it possible to be sure of the correctness of the repair work.

Appreciate your vehicle and repair it on time. Only in this case can it serve you for many years!

Domestic Lada models from the classic series are a simple and reliable car in operation, in which the correct installation of the ignition on the VAZ 2106 and similar series plays an important role. Any car owner of such a machine is capable of performing this work, for which it will be necessary to purchase specialized tools, and some experienced specialists are able to do this without them.

List of specialized tools and symptoms of malfunction

It is possible to carry out the installation of ignition on the VAZ 2106 with the help of the following tools:

  • open-end wrench with a diameter of 13 mm;
  • specialized key for removing spark plugs;
  • voltmeter or control lamp for 12 volts;
  • car strobe.

A characteristic symptom of the fact that on VAZ 2106 it is necessary to carry out the installation of ignition along the marks on the crankshaft pulley is a sharp detonation of the engine and loss of power. The problems are obvious when driving at forty kilometers per hour (in 3rd gear) and a sharp attempt to increase the speed with the gas pedal. The manifestation of such a malfunction, as well as extraneous metal sound from the engine on a sharp rebase, will indicate the need to adjust the ignition angle, and any car owner can do this repair with his own hands.

Stages of work using a strobe

For installing ignition on a VAZ 2106 using a stroboscope, from official dealerships it will be necessary to pay from 1000 to 1500 rubles. If you want to save this amount, all the work can be done independently, for which you need to perform the following steps:


Important! It should be borne in mind that setting the lead angle is based on what kind of gasoline the car is refueling, in the case of the 92nd, it is set at the largest mark, in the case of the 76th, we choose between two small ones, representing 5 and 10 degrees ahead.

You can set the correct ignition without the use of a strobe, for which you will need to use a control 12-volt lamp.

Self-adjustment without a strobe

   In the absence of a special tool, it is possible to establish the correct ignition on the VAZ 2106 by marks, performing the following algorithm of actions:
  • We drive the car into the room, let the engine cool, and unscrew the spark plug from the cylinder head of the first cylinder, plug the hole with a finger, rotate the crankshaft to the beginning of the compression ratio (when the finger starts to pop out).
  • We continue to rotate the crankshaft until the mark on its pulley is aligned to the front cover marks, guided by the type of gasoline on which the car is operated.
  • Having set the marks, it is necessary to remove the cover from the distributor and mark the position of the slider on the rotor (opposite the contact of the high-voltage wire of the first cylinder) with a risk, after which it is necessary to unscrew the fixing nut with a 13 mm wrench.
  • We connect the control 12-volt light bulb (to the distributor housing and inside to the low-voltage cable). We turn on the ignition from the inside of the car without cranking the engine with the starter, and if the angle is set correctly, the warning lamp should not light up. If it is on, it will be necessary to rotate the distributor rotor housing until it goes out and then tighten the fixing nut.
  • Then we turn off the ignition of the engine with the key, screw the spark plug back on, put on the cover of the distributor and start the engine, checking its operation.

Important! If the ignition timing is set correctly, the engine of the machine should work smoothly, without a failure in revolutions when depressing the gas pedal, and confidently keep its idle speed, which may well need to be adjusted on the carburetor of the machine after its ignition is correctly set.

Ignition problems in VAZ 2106 cars can also arise due to the marks of the engine gas distribution system that were knocked down during repairs. We offer to watch a video of the ignition installation and related settings for the VAZ 2106:
