How to start a car in cold weather VAZ 2114, 2115: 10 recommendations from experienced drivers

The question of how to start a Zhiguli may arise for owners of a “classic” car in 5 cases: the ignition switch is broken, the key is lost, the battery is dead, the starter does not turn, or there is severe frost outside. If you don’t know how to act in one of these situations, then read the article.

How you can start a Zhiguli when the standard version with a key is not possible is noted in the table.

*the choke is used to further enrich the mixture and make it easier to start a cold engine in any situation, but if in warm weather it is possible to start a cold engine without it, then in cold weather this is very problematic.

How to properly start a car in cold weather?

Step by step guide

There is an opinion that 8-valve engines, which are installed on 99% of cars of the SAMARA and SAMARA-2 family, start better in cold weather than 16-valve ones. I haven’t delved into what this is connected with, but if it’s true, then we have a better chance!

So, to start a car in cold weather you need to follow a certain algorithm:

1. We get into the car, without turning on any power consumers, and turn the key into the ignition.
2. We wait until the fuel pump pumps fuel and the IAC returns to its initial position (5-10 seconds).
3. Next, turn on the high beam headlights for 10-15 seconds. At this moment, chemical processes will begin to occur in the battery, which will heat up and increase the current output.
4. Be sure to hold the clutch!!!
5. We try to start the engine, turn the starter for no more than 7 seconds. (Personally, my car almost always started on the first try, but the starter had to be turned for up to 5 seconds).
6. If the car does not start, wait 2-3 minutes, otherwise the battery will not be enough for the second and third attempts to start the engine.
7. We start the engine and turn it for no more than 7 seconds. Repeat again after 1-2 minutes.
8. If you feel that the engine is almost starting, but you have been turning the starter for a very long time, then try pressing the gas pedal.
9. If after 2-3 attempts the car does not start, then either your car is faulty or you have filled the spark plugs. The candles are flooded, what should I do?
10. After starting the engine, do not rush to release the clutch, let the engine warm up a little. When you release the clutch, be prepared that your car may move away (even if it is in neutral).

Important: If your battery is dead, try lighting it from another car. “How to light a battery?” Even if a lighted car does not start, there is one last option: push and

To increase the current output from the battery, during severe frosts and long-term parking (overnight), it is recommended to remove and bring the battery home.

Correct wire connection

When all the wires have been found, all that remains is to connect them correctly and start the car. To do this, you should perform the following steps:

• Leave the ground and starter wires unconnected;
• connect the remaining wires responsible for powering various car systems to the power cable;
• connect the starter wire to the power supply and wait until the car starts;
• As soon as the engine starts, remove the starter wire from the group of live wires;
• You will receive at your disposal a running vehicle with working systems for transportation.

Remember that you need to connect the power wires securely enough. On the way, the contact may weaken and you will be left without a headlight, for example. After transporting the car, immediately begin repairing it and bringing it back to normal condition.

In winter, the engine must be started correctly

If in the summer the driver’s actions can be described as “sit down and go,” then in the cold season everything is completely different.
Starting the engine in winter should be carried out by adhering to certain rules. Their strict implementation in most cases guarantees a trouble-free launch. So, the first step is to warm up the battery much. This is not difficult to do. The most common option is to turn on the high beams for a few seconds by pulling the corresponding lever towards you. As a rule, 10-15 seconds are enough. This procedure can be done several times - the main thing is not to overdo it and not damage the battery. Next, turn on the ignition and pause. The fuel pump takes a few seconds to supply fuel to the system. After this, you need to depress the clutch pedal. Thanks to this simple action, you make the starter’s job much easier, reducing the number of parts it needs to turn. Accordingly, the current consumed by this device is also reduced, that is, you are also sparing the battery.

Now you can proceed to the final stage, that is, directly starting the engine. It should be especially noted that it is recommended to turn the starter for 5-7 seconds. Otherwise, you risk simply draining the battery, making your task even more difficult. If it fails to start on the first try, take a short pause and then try again. It is recommended to do this no more than 3-4 times.

Situations often arise when all of the above actions were done correctly and in the right sequence, but the car still did not start. In this case, you should look for other problems that are preventing the engine from starting. First of all, you need to pay attention to the candles. If during the inspection you find that they are flooded, you can solve the problem in 2 ways. Firstly, carry a spare set with you and, if necessary, install it. Option two is to simply burn the candles using a gas stove.

So, all the problems are solved, and the engine still starts. Do not rush to immediately release the clutch pedal. Experienced warriors recommend holding it for another 5 seconds. You need to release the pedal very smoothly and carefully so as not to stall. By the way, it is also not recommended to move off immediately after starting - let the oil in the engine and gearbox warm up a little.

Finally, I would like to give a few more simple tips. If you store your car near your home, it is better to take the battery to a warm room overnight. It’s clear that you don’t really want to rush back and forth with a rather weighty battery, but the prospect of not starting in the morning due to a completely discharged battery is even less pleasant. If you still don’t want to do this, then at least buy a set of wires so that you can “light it” from another car if necessary. Here it is worth recalling one very important rule. With this procedure, you should first connect the ground on both cars, and only after that the positive terminals.

The engine starts and immediately stalls

There are times when the engine starts and stalls after a few seconds. There are enough reasons, several of them are given at the beginning of the article, but there the engine did not start at all. Let's look at why this happens:

1. The fuel pump has failed. Does not supply enough fuel to the gasoline float chamber.
2. The fuel line is clogged. Debris in the fuel line acts like a valve, moving in the flow and blocking the line in a bottleneck. This could be a piece of ice in winter.
3. Clogged injectors in an injection engine. Solution to the problem: remove the injectors, check, wash if necessary and put them back in place.
4. Connects the high-voltage ignition wire to the housing. If one wire shorts, the engine usually stalls during operation. If two wires or the central wire are shorted, the motor starts and stalls. Only a new set of wires will help.
5. Worn sprockets and timing chain. This rarely happens, but it does happen. Due to chain elongation and sprocket wear, the valve timing constantly floats, especially if the hydraulic tensioner does not work. It is even possible for the chain to jump on the sprocket. In these cases, a service station and new spare parts are required.

Twist

To twist, you will need a Phillips screwdriver and a paper clip (piece of wire).

1. Open the hood and remove the wire from the positive terminal of the battery.
2. Place the gear shift lever in neutral position.
3. Put the car on the parking brake.
4. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the steering column boot and set it aside.
5. Carefully remove the block with wires from the ignition switch. Immediately determine which wire is ground and disconnect it from the others. If you connect the ground to the housing with a multimeter, there will be no voltage. It's even better if you insulate the cable so you don't accidentally damage all the wiring.
6. Find the red wire and move it to the side. Carefully connect the remaining wires to make contact. Secure the twist with wire or a paper clip. Sometimes the twist is rewound with tape or tape. The electrical equipment of your car should turn on.
7. Depress the clutch pedal.
8. Place the red wire with the rest of the wires (twisted). The car should start. Remove the red wire from the twist. If the engine speed is stable, release the clutch pedal smoothly and carefully.

The ignition switch connectors (blocks) on different cars may differ from each other. There are types of connectors from which you can remove the wires with an awl. Only after removal are they twisted together (without the red wire).

After starting the engine, the red wire is immediately removed from the twist. Otherwise the starter may break.

Attention! If you do not remove the wire from the battery terminal, the engine may start when twisting the wires and a short circuit may occur.

Winding by short circuit

Dealing with the wires

It is necessary to remove the plastic protection from the steering column to gain access to the wires of the contact group. Your focus will be on the wires that are connected to the ignition switch. They are often divided into three groups:

• the power supply to the lock is the wire that comes from the battery;
• power distribution across the main vehicle systems;
• supplying power to the starter.

Also among this bundle of wires there will definitely be a grounding wire, which we are looking for first. This wire is the only black color. If your car uses an alternative electrical wiring diagram, the ground wire will be green.

Radical approach

If there is no time, and nerves are at their limit, some car enthusiasts resort to them, but these are the worst ways to open a car. Imagine that you decided to sell your car in a year, and the buyer you came across was attentive and meticulous. Traces after an approach by brute force will remain with a 99% probability, and such a car will be sold for a very long time, because no one will believe that it was not in an accident.

If you decide then:

1. We break out the lock - take a screwdriver and hammer it into the lock cylinder, and then turn it. This method is incredibly expensive, because further repairs are required. You will be faced with the fact that instead of one cylinder you will have to change all 5 (doors + trunk), and after the repair you will have two keys. In order to have only one key, you will have to order expensive locks and wait a long time, dooming yourself to the inability to use the car always open.

Breaking the lock

1. We break the glass - when you damage the lock, but do not open the car, break the glass. It is necessary to break the rear door glass (preferably the right one). There are several reasons for this decision: firstly, a window sealed with tape will not spoil visibility, and secondly, if after breaking it turns out that the back door of the VAZ 2114 does not open, and you have to knock out all the glass to get through, you will have less wind later. And don’t break the glass with your hands - find a hammer, otherwise, in addition to a car mechanic, you will also need a surgeon.

Breaking out the glass

WORTH KNOWING! Another tip is to buy the tape in advance, because if the fragments hang on it, you will not have to clean the interior. Imagine the area you are going to hit as a square and cover it with tape on only one side.

Will it be possible to get new keys from the dealer?

Usually, replacing cylinders and making a new key directly from an authorized dealer is not a cheap pleasure. In addition, the waiting time is usually unacceptably long, since your order will probably be sent to the factory.

However, in some cases you will definitely have to contact the dealer. This is done when:

• The warranty period has not yet expired and you do not want to lose it;
• it is not possible to find the required lock cores or keys on the open market;
• you need to make a duplicate (the code of the original product is saved on your passport);
• The manufacturer can make a new unlocking device based only on the vehicle's VIN number.

What actions should be taken if the key is left in the car?

The first question that a driver asks himself when he discovers that the car key is left in the cabin: how to open a VAZ 2114 in an easy and simple way without a key? The easiest way would be to call home and ask for an additional set of keys. If there is no one at home, you can call a special service that provides such services, but you will have to pay about 3 thousand rubles for such a service. But it’s realistic to find other ways to open a car without keys:

1. Using wire of appropriate length. Using a rigid wire at least 70 cm long, you can easily open the door. For this method, you should use a metal ruler, but such an object can rarely be seen nearby, of course, if the car owner does not steal other people's cars. Therefore, we will look at opening car doors using a wire. So, having found a piece of metal wire, you need to do the following:

• make a kind of bend at one end, which should resemble a hook for a fishing rod;
• the end with the bend must be carefully inserted between the seal and the glass, trying to pick up the door rod. Of course, such an operation is not so simple, and most often it is not completed successfully the first time. But one of the attempts will definitely succeed and help open the car door;
• You should not try to use thin wire for this method, as it will simply bend, and a thicker product will not be able to be inserted into a small slot.

1. Using a thin fishing line, but always strong. In a similar way, you can try to open a car door using a fishing line, which should be thin and at the same time strong enough. A small loop is made at the end of the fishing line, and this end is pushed into the gap between the body and the door seal. Having inserted the fishing line inside, you need to move it in different directions until it wraps around the loop of the door flag. Next, all that remains is to pull the ends of the fishing line so that the flag rises up. This method of opening doors is suitable if the car is equipped with a special flag, with which the car door is closed.
2. You can also try to open the door of the VAZ-2114 using a tennis ball in which a hole is made. To do this you need to do the following:

• press the tennis ball firmly against the car door lock, making sure that the hole where the key is inserted exactly matches the hole of the tennis ball;
• press the ball sharply so that a stream of air enters the inside of the castle;
• the air that gets inside should raise the door flag, which will help open the car door.

Many car owners claim that opening the trunk is much easier, and a key from another VAZ model will help with this. To do this, you just need to contact the driver of the other car and ask to use his keys.

Of course, you can simply break the glass, but in the future you will have to spend money on a new one, and not everyone will be able to break tempered glass the first time.
In addition, this method of opening the door often leads to injury, so when deciding on it, you must first protect your face and hands. If none of the above methods helped to open the door of the VAZ-2114, all that remains is to contact the dealer with a request to make a duplicate of the lost keys. Of course, this process will take some time, but if there is no other choice, then you can just wait.

To avoid finding yourself in such a predicament, you should always be careful about your keys, store them in a safe place and do not forget them in the car.

Start GAZ 3110 without a key (part 1) - logbook of GAZ 31 2.0 turbo 1998 on DRIVE2

Good night everyone. I visited my drunken head to conduct an experiment. How can you start a GAZ 3110 without a key? Imagine that you find yourself in a naked movie. You need to save the lives of yourself and your family. You are wandering among the snow and severe frost. The Volga is ready to save you))), but you don’t have the keys. How to start it)))? You don't have the option of using the starter and battery, because... There are no keys. You need to start the device through the ignition switch. When writing the article, it was not possible to find out the readiness of the battery. I will point out one thing - advice on shorting the battery - starter is not relevant, because you need a key to supply the ignition (for those who are especially remote, it has been verified that the method does not work without a key). I will attach a PHOTO later. I am doing this for the first time and at my own peril and risk, because I have two GAZ 3110. The ignition switch is held on by one bolt. You twist it. Disconnect everything. And here a problem arises for a beginner...)))) P.S.: There is a lot of water and fire extinguishers. Without reading the Internet, but after watching enough American films. I take the cable and try to close it without disconnecting it from the connector. From a conversation among the people - to combine blue and red. There are a lot of wires in the Volga. In short, the result is that so far my attempts to start and save myself have not been successful... The experiment continues...

As I said above, I don’t know what needs to be done normally, the photo is in Part 2.

P.S.: I’m such a person, well, I don’t believe that it’s impossible not to do this...)))

And now, in fact, instructions on how to start the car correctly.

Starting the car P.1 It’s clear that you are nervous. First driving after all. So, breathe out and relax. Look how wonderful the weather is (well, of course, if it’s raining, you’ll probably be going for the first time). Look how wonderful your car is and be sure to smile. Believing in victory is half winning. We can do this.

Starting the car P.2 Before starting the car, check whether you are comfortable in the driver’s seat, whether you can reach the pedals, the gear shift lever, and whether the rear-vision mirrors are adjusted correctly. In short, we do not neglect the simple but necessary point of getting into the car correctly. While driving, you should think about the road situation, and not about how to turn the mirror while driving, because you can’t see anything. And then, moving around now and twirling something there, I hope we will relax a little more before the first trip. Well done. You are comfortable, comfortable. Well, smile!

Starting the car P.3 If you have a carburetor car (found out in advance), then pump the gas pedal several times. This is necessary in order to slightly pump gasoline into the carburetor, which is necessary to start the car.

Let's start the car P.4 And now let's remember and practice this point until it becomes automatic, until it hurts and disgusts us. First of all, press the brake with your right foot. Even if the car is on the handbrake, even if it has chocks on all four wheels and is unlikely to move. This is necessary in order to bring this skill to automatism, so that the leg, almost without the participation of the brain, itself reaches out to press the brake during any stops during any parking. And you will be insured that your car will not move if the handbrake suddenly does not work or you are standing at an angle. Let's repeat it again. Put your right foot on the brake ONCE!

Start the car P.5 With your left foot on the clutch and the pedal to the floor, do TWO! Fully depress the clutch. We do this even if you have a neutral gear and you are sure that the car will not jerk when starting. Why do you need to depress the clutch? There is no point in going into the jungle of the gearbox design of its primary and secondary shafts in this lesson. We want to have a great mood and a clear head not overloaded with information. Then, everything later.

Therefore, just take my word for it that when the clutch is depressed, it will be much easier for your car to start and it will thank you.

Let's repeat it again, using your left foot to depress the clutch.

We start the car P.6. (for injection cars) Insert the key and turn it clockwise until the lights come on (this is called turning on the ignition). So, turn on the ignition and freeze in this position for 3-4 seconds. This is necessary so that the automation pumps up the gasoline necessary to start the car. (in a carburetor car we did this ourselves by pressing the gas pedal)

Waited 3-4 seconds and turned the key all the way. Your favorite car should start. As soon as it starts, relax your hand and the key will turn a little back.

If it doesn't start, try again. If it doesn’t start the third time, just shout guard. Naturally, we won’t figure out why your car won’t start on our own for now.

Starting the car P.6 (for carburetor cars)

Pull the “suction” towards you. Funny name "suction" isn't it? And what is it? Remember at the beginning we searched and found a miracle button on the dashboard. Photo above.

This is the so-called suction. Pull it towards you.

We start the P7 car. And then feel free to turn the key clockwise until it stops. And there is no need to wait like with an injector, because we have already pumped the gasoline with our foot.

If, after turning the key all the way, you hear occasional engine seizures, slightly pump the gas pedal. Only lightly, so as not to flood the candles (ugh, again some kind of “fill some candles”) In short, if you hear individual seizures, then just lightly press the gas. Lightly and that's it!

If the car does not start within 3-4 seconds, turn off the ignition, exhale, look around, pretend that you don’t need to start the car now, poke the buttons on your phone with a smart look, in short, after waiting for a theatrical pause that is necessary for both you and the car, try start it again. If not the third time, then just like the owner of the injectors, shout guard.

But I am sure that your beauty began to growl, caressing your ears. Also relax your hand and the key will turn back a little.

If the machine not only rattled but roared, then smoothly and slowly turn down the choke until the machine starts working smoothly and beautifully. Do not overdo it so that the car does not stall while it is cold. 3-4 seconds of smooth operation and release the clutch (of course the gear should be in neutral!)

Well, here we go again, cold, hot, what the hell is this?

But the rubbish is that the engine is pleasant and comfortable to operate only in a certain temperature range. Therefore, before moving, you need to warm up the car a little until the temperature needle enters operating mode. We look for the temperature arrow on the dashboard. It looks something like this. The operating mode is clearly marked.

So, as the engine warms up, the caburator machine will rumble faster and faster, smoothly push in the “choke” handle until you reach the stop. This can be done on the go, it is not at all necessary to stand and wait until the engine warms up to 80-90 degrees (this is the temperature from which the engine simply rushes)

And in addition, immediately train yourself to glance at the temperature arrow from time to time, so that God forbid the temperature does not rise even higher. But that's a completely different story. Now we will briefly repeat the above on how to start a car.

Summary on how to start a car

1. If you have a carburetor, pump the gas pedal several times.
2. press your right foot on the brake pedal
3. press the clutch pedal with your left foot
4. put the gear in neutral
5. if you have an injector, turn on the ignition (the lights on the panel come on), wait 3-4 seconds (several lights go out) and turn the key all the way, the car should start
6. if it’s a carburetor, pull the choke towards you, and boldly and immediately turn it all the way, if in this case you hear separate seizures, lightly pump the gas pedal, the car should start
7. wait until the engine is running smoothly and you can remove your foot from the clutch
8. for the carburetor. As the engine warms up (this can be heard by ear, the engine begins to run faster and louder), smoothly push the choke handle back to its original position.
9. Listen to how smoothly and beautifully the engine of your car runs, relax, sit back and smile.

So, comrades, today we discussed the first lesson, without which not a single car can drive, on the topic of how to actually start it. The lesson is over and we are ready to move. It took a long time to sort it out and painfully, but now look at the video how long this simple procedure takes. In real life everything is even faster, because I have a camera in my hands. In the video we look at the carburetor version of the car, of which there are fewer and fewer, but for the first car they often take the one that is cheaper and, to put it mildly, “a little” not new.

Towing a gazelle

The third method is to tow a car with a dead battery. To do this, you will need a third-party car that will drag (tow) the gazelle by the cable until its engine starts. This method is similar to pushing a car, but it is more effective.

Important! Drivers of both vehicles must exercise caution when towing. Braking should be safe for the car in front, and at the same time, the vehicle attached to the cable should not be completely “turned off” when performing a stopping maneuver.

How to start VAZ 2106, VAZ 2109, VAZ 2110 and VAZ 2112 without a key

In the case of a VAZ 2106 , you need to remove the ignition cover and find the brown, blue and red wires. The thick red wire is positive. The brown and blue wires need to be secured with electrical tape, and the red wires should be struck on both wires. The car should start. A similar procedure can be done for VAZ 2109 .

To start a VAZ 2110 or 2112 car without a key , you will need to pull out the entire switch button so that it hangs on the wires and remove the cover: there will be four connectors. Now you need to insert it differently - into three connectors so that there is one free on the right. At the same time, the fuel pump will start working and the ignition will turn on. Now open the hood. It is necessary to force the starter to start, for which it is enough to bridge the copper bolts, which are located in the back cover of the starter solenoid relay, with a wrench or scissors. The car started.

Activate all emobilizers and do not leave the car unattended in this condition! Now you know how to start a car without a key. Of course, a considerable number of cars of foreign expensive brands are already equipped with factory buttons and special key fobs; you can often find code panels for entering a PIN code. As for domestic cars, such an easy opportunity to start a car without a key should be alarming - do not leave the car unattended and without an alarm.

Why doesn't the starter turn on the VAZ-2114?

A common cause of starter failure is the failure of the solenoid relay. This can be determined by a specific click heard from under the hood after turning the ignition key. An audible signal (click) indicates to the driver that the relay is turned on and the overrunning clutch does not have enough power to turn the crankshaft.

Important! This type of starter start is only suitable for cars with electronic ignition, in which the switch regulates the supplied voltage. In older ones, with a contact one, the coil may break when the starter closes.

The starter spins for a long time before starting

Adequate methods

This will surprise many, but there are much more adequate methods to get into an automatically locked car without damaging it than radical and expensive ones.

So, the car is locked from the inside with the keys in the ignition, it’s a long drive to get the keys, and I don’t want to spend money either on a special company or on subsequent repairs:

1. Open the trunk to get into the cabin. There are several methods to perform this task:

• We apply a strong impulse blow with an open palm just below the lock, and the vibration will complete everything for you and the latch will open;
• take an awl (a woman’s nail file or manicure scissors) but not a screwdriver. We insert the existing object under the seal and press the tongue.

Using an awl to open doors

2. Open the hood and disconnect the battery. This is the simplest of the methods:

• we crawl under the car and find the cord leading to the hood lock; if that doesn’t work, we look for the lock tongue through the radiator grille;
• press the tongue mechanically or pull the cable and the hood opens;
• We approach the battery and knock down the negative terminal, and click it several times on the mount. The car body, which is a minus, is a large consumer and turning it on abruptly will create a small soft drop. It’s better not to touch the right one, because you can burn the ECU.

3. Open the door with wire. The sequence of actions is as follows:

• we find a stiff wire and an analogue of a woman’s nail file and get to work;
• use a thin object to pry out the glass seal near the lock;
• we insert the pre-bent wire into the prepared hole and lower it until it rests;
• the wire rests against the lock latch, so we turn it and turn it until it goes around it, when it “falls through” we pry it back;
• The opening procedure will take 2-5 minutes, and the door will be open; all that remains is to hammer the seal back.

We use wire

4. Open with your phone. The most interesting, and most importantly effective method of how to open the door on a VAZ 2114. It is simple and amazing:

• you need to remember who has the second keys and call this person;
• bring the phone closer to the keyhole;
• the interlocutor at the other end presses the open button and the machine is open.

Universal method

There is a method in which the main component is a screwdriver. This option is suitable not only for the VAZ-2106, but also for more modern models, for example, for the 2109. Before starting the car without a key in this way, make sure that the battery is fully charged. If the unit is not charged enough, the starter will receive less electricity, so the engine may not start.

Another significant drawback is that after hacking, you will have to buy and install a new ignition switch; it will not be possible to restore the old one. Therefore, sometimes turning to specialists at a car service center is not only safer, but also more profitable.

If you are completely confident that you can carry out these manipulations, get to work by first preparing the drill. The drill should be installed just above the ignition switch, drilling a hole that is equal to the length of the key. This way all the pins will be destroyed. In some cases, this step must be repeated more than once in order to achieve the desired result.

After this, you need to insert a minus screwdriver into the hole, turning it clockwise. As a result, the VAZ-2106 will start, and you can go along your route.

It is worth noting that before using the methods listed above, make sure that you are ready to perform all the steps correctly, because any mistake can lead to significant damage and expensive repairs.

Ignition switch repair

To replace faulty parts of the ignition switch, it must be disconnected and removed. To do this, be sure to follow the rules of caution and also have a screwdriver and an awl on hand. We will look at dismantling the lock using the example of “classic” VAZ car models (2101-2107). On these cars, the ignition switch is located on the lower left side of the steering column. In later models, the ignition key is moved to the right side of the steering column, which is generally convenient for right-handed drivers.
