Diagram, procedure for connecting VAZ high-voltage wires.
First, let's decide which of the four cylinders is first?
The first cylinder in front-wheel drive VAZs is located closer to the timing belt. If you look at the engine from the front, the first cylinder is the leftmost). And then everything is simple - from left to right - 1, 2, 3, 4.
In rear-wheel drive VAZ Classic and Niva, the first cylinder is located closer to the front bumper of the car.

General tips for connecting high-voltage wires.
Checking high-voltage wires. To check the wires, you will need a multimeter tester. Check the resistance of the wires - it should be no more than 20 KOhms (in practice, the longest wire of cylinder 1 has a resistance of up to 10 KOhms). If the wire resistance is more than 20 Kom, it must be replaced. Carefully inspect the wires for chafing on parts of the motor or other wires. In case of significant abrasion, replace the wire. In case of minor abrasion, it is possible to lay the wire so that it does not rub and fix it in this position.
Laying wires. Do not try to connect the wires in a bundle. Disassemble the wiring harnesses, release the wires from the plastic holders. Connect the high-voltage leads to the corresponding cylinder spark plugs. Lay the wires so that they do not rub against each other, engine parts, or hoses. Avoid sharp bends and tension on the wires. After connecting all the wires, secure them into the bundle with special comb holders included in the delivery kit.
The procedure for connecting I/O wires to a VAZ carburetor (2108, 2109, 21099)
The central wire from the distributor cover always goes to the ignition coil (bobbin).
The outlet of the distributor cover, which faces towards the front of the car, is connected to the first cylinder.
The outlet of the distributor cap, looking down, is connected to the third cylinder.
The outlet of the distributor cap, looking rearward, is connected to the fourth cylinder.
The outlet of the distributor cap, looking up, is connected to the second cylinder.

Injection VAZ produced before 2004 with an old-style ignition module (4-pin low-voltage connector)
Actually, on the module body it is already indicated which cylinder the pins correspond to - but we duplicated them in red in case the module gets completely dirty, and you might not be able to see it in the photo.

As with the old-style ignition modules, the new coils are also marked with pins corresponding to the cylinders. But the connection order is different from the order on the old-style ignition module. Be careful.

Installing an electronic BSZ instead of a contact one
Today it is very rare to find a “seven” with contact ignition. With the arrival on sale of switches, distributors and coils for electronic spark generation systems, owners of classics began to massively re-equip their cars.
What is included in the BSZ kit
The process of converting a contact system into an electronic one is quite simple, and also inexpensive. The cost of an electronic ignition kit for a VAZ 2107 is about 2,500 rubles. It includes:
- transistor switch type 3620.3734 with connector;
- coil 27.3705;
- contactless distributor type 38.3706;
- connecting wires.
In addition, you will need spark plugs (preferably new ones) with a gap of 0.7–0.8 mm and a set of high voltage wires. Coil type B-117A (used in a contactless system) is not suitable for electronic ignition. Its characteristics do not correspond to those of other equipment in the circuit.

Required Tools
To complete the work you will need:
- 8, 10 and 13 mm wrenches;
- screwdriver with a Phillips blade;
- drill;
- spark plug key;
- 36 mm wrench or with a ratchet mechanism for turning the crankshaft;
- self-tapping screws;
- pliers.
- Disconnect the terminals from the battery. We remove the battery and put it aside.
- Remove the high voltage caps from the distributor cap and from the spark plugs.
- Using a special wrench, unscrew all the spark plugs. We screw new ones in their place.
- Using a drill, drill holes on the left mudguard or on the engine shield to mount the switch.
- We attach the switch to the car body using self-tapping screws.
- Remove the distributor cap.
- We rotate the crankshaft, placing a wrench on the nut securing its pulley, until the distributor runner is aimed at the spark plug of the first cylinder, and the mark on the pulley points to the middle ebb on the timing cover.
- Using a 13 mm wrench, loosen the distributor mounting nut.
- Remove the vacuum hose from the distributor and disconnect all wires.
- We remove the old distributor from its seat.
- Remove the cover from the new distributor.
- Trying it on in place of the old one, we rotate the slider by hand until it is directed towards the first cylinder.
- We install a new distributor, tighten the nut, but do not tighten it completely.
- We connect the wire connectors and the vacuum regulator hose to the new distributor.
- We dismantle the old ignition coil by unscrewing the nuts securing it with a 13 mm wrench. We disconnect all wires from it.
- We install the new coil in place.
- We connect the connector with the wiring harness to the switch.
- We clean the ends of the wires. We install the chain:
- We securely attach the black wire from the switch to ground using a self-tapping screw or screw;
- connect the red wire to terminal “K” on the coil. We also attach the brown wire from the tachometer here;
- connect the blue wire from the switch and the blue wire with a black stripe to the “+B” terminal on the coil.
- We install the distributor cover and secure it. We connect new high-voltage wires to the cover and spark plugs.
- Let's try to start the engine. If it works, then everything was done correctly. Otherwise, we check the ignition circuit and the reliability of the connection of its elements.
Purpose
The high voltage wires in a vehicle are designed to carry high voltage from the ignition coil to the spark plug. The wire is a kind of connecting link between the spark plugs and the ignition module. Each spark plug has its own wire connected, which is phased with a coil or distributor. In the carburetor version of the VAZ 2107 engine, 5 pieces of high-voltage wires are used, 4 from the distributor to the cylinders and 1 from the coil to the distributor. In the injection version of the engine, only 4 wires are used from the ignition module to the spark plug.
Types of systems
For decades, while the VAZ 2107 model was produced (from 1982 to 2012), it was equipped with three types of ignition systems:
- mechanical with contacts - breakers;
- contactless;
- controlled by an electronic unit (ECU).
Contact ignition circuit installed in the first VAZ 2107 models
Note. The first 2 varieties were installed on the “seven” with a carburetor, the latter was introduced together with an injector.
In the mechanical version, the contacts opened by the cam of the distributor shaft break the low voltage circuit, initiating the formation of a powerful pulse in the secondary winding of the coil. This discharge is directed to the electrodes of the spark plug, which ignites the fuel in the cylinder where the piston has risen to top dead center (TDC) and the compression stroke is completed.
Scheme of non-contact ignition of the seven with a carburetor
The contactless circuit operates on the same principle, only the signal to break the circuit is supplied by the Hall sensor, and it is implemented by the switch. Therefore, setting the ignition on carburetor “sevens” is done almost identically. Another thing is cars with an injector, where a new system has been introduced that does not have not only contacts, but also a distributor and any moving parts. Here, the moment of spark formation is determined by the ECU controller, which is guided by the signals of various sensors.

Device
Wires are made of material that has good insulation resistance, and the conductor of the wire should have low resistance for better conductivity of voltage and current.
A high-voltage wire has: insulation, a conductor, insulating caps and contact terminals. Also, some wires are equipped with a special comb, which is needed to assemble the wires into one unit.
Symptoms of a problem
Quite often, wires fail, which significantly affects the operation of the car engine. If the high-voltage wires fail on the car, the following signs of malfunction are observed:
- The car starts to move jerkily;
- When you press the gas pedal, the car jerks;
- One or even several cylinders fail;
- Engine power is lost;
If your car shows such signs of malfunction, it is recommended to check the high-voltage wires.
Checking wires
Checking the wires is done in two ways: visual and tester. To carry out a visual inspection, simply remove the wire and inspect it externally. The wire should not contain:
- There should be no cracks or signs of wear;
- Traces of rubbing of insulation;
- The cap must be in excellent condition without cracks;
- The contact part must be clean and free of rust;
- The wire must be clearly fixed on the spark plug and MH (distributor);
If the wires have visible damage, it is recommended to replace them.
Testing with a tester consists of measuring the resistance between the contacts; a working wire will show a resistance above 1 kOhm, but this does not mean that the wire is ideal, it is just working. New high voltage wires from some companies can show resistance as high as 10k ohms, but it should be noted that the shorter the wire, the less resistance it has and vice versa.
If, when measuring resistance, the tester shows 1, then this means a break and the wire is faulty.
Wire selection
Many people face a problem when replacing wires, and it’s hard to say which company to choose, which one is better, but new wires are always better than old ones, so you need to evaluate your capabilities strictly by the thickness of your pocket. The price range for high-voltage wires is quite large.
The most popular brands of high-voltage wires are SLON, AvtoVAZ, TESLA, these brands have proven themselves well and are in good demand.

When replacing wires, many are faced with the problem of connecting the wires to the spark plugs. Why is this so important?! If you connect the high-voltage wires incorrectly, nothing bad will happen, but the car will either not start, or it will start but will work extremely unstable.
VAZ 2107 armored wires have strict connection rules and must be observed. The number of cylinders in the “seven” starts from the timing mechanism (from the radiator), that is, the spark plug, which is closer to the radiator, is responsible for 1 cylinder, etc.
Injection engine
Connect the high-voltage wires of the injection engine in the following order. The ignition module has numbers with the cylinder number, these numbers can be seen in the picture, the number on the module corresponds to the cylinder number, and the wires must be connected in that order.
Carburetor engine
As you know, a carburetor engine does not have an ignition module, but instead has a distributor and one ignition coil. High-voltage wires in such an engine are connected in the following order. The central terminal of the distributor; the ignition coil is connected to it through a short high-voltage wire. The following wires are connected to the distributor terminals on one side and the spark plugs on the other side. The wires should be connected as shown in the picture.
Preparatory stage
To set the ignition on a VAZ 2107 car, no special conditions are required; the operation can be done both in the garage and on the street, including in winter. For work, prepare the following set of tools:
- flat screwdriver;
- metal probe 0.35 mm thick;
- open-end wrench size 13 mm;
- a car light bulb designed for a voltage of 12 V with wires soldered to it;
- a wrench with a long handle designed to turn the crankshaft;
- key for unscrewing spark plugs.
Ignition tuning tool
Note. Instead of a special key to rotate the crankshaft, you can use a regular open-end wrench measuring 36 mm. If you don’t have such a key, then you will have to set the marks in the old proven way: by engaging 4th gear and raising the rear wheel, turn it manually, thereby turning the crankshaft.
Ideally, it is better to have in your arsenal a device for setting the ignition on a running engine - a strobe light. It is equipped with a lamp that flashes simultaneously with the moment of spark formation in the cylinder, which allows you to see the position of the notch on the crankshaft pulley at idle speed and clearly adjust the advance angle.
Important point. The ignition is set in order to ensure that the spark appears in a timely manner and the engine starts, after which additional adjustments will be required. But the latter will not bring you the desired result when there is no compression in the cylinders or problems with the carburetor make themselves felt. If these faults are not eliminated, the engine operation will remain unstable, no matter how you configure the spark generation system.
Hence the conclusion: you can set the ignition correctly at any time, but to set it well - only on a working engine and carburetor.
Introduction
High-voltage wires of VAZ cars are one of the most important elements in the ignition system. It is the wires that transmit high electrical voltage from the module to the spark plug.
Failure of the wires affects not only the formation of a spark, but also the operation of the entire power plant. This article will talk about how to correctly select and independently replace high-voltage wires on a VAZ car.
Below we discuss the procedure for connecting wires to the ignition module, as well as examples of the highest quality and best wires that can be purchased in terms of price and quality.

Operating principle and device
High-voltage wires are the link between the coil (ignition module) and the spark plugs. The voltage generated in the ignition module is transmitted to the spark plug through a high-voltage wire, after which the spark plug produces a spark in the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine.
The wires have powerful insulation that can withstand enormous voltages without breakdown of the insulation. People quite often hear the name armored wire; high-voltage wires received this name because of their powerful insulation.
Device
A high-voltage wire consists of a core (also a conductor) placed in powerful shielded insulation. The core in the wire is shielded to preserve the voltage pulse from external influences and protect against breakdown.
Causes of damage
There are few of them and for the most part they are natural:
- Aging - due to constant temperature changes and engine vibrations, the insulation gradually wears out, after which it is easily broken through. The same applies to the attachment points to the spark plugs. The core itself also wears out naturally due to the constant supply of high voltage.
- Damage occurs most often due to repairs. That is, the mechanic either severely snagged the wire during the repair process, damaging it, or replaced the wires incorrectly altogether. They are specially located separately and do not touch other engine parts. If you place them differently, they will be damaged at least by a hot internal combustion engine.
- Other malfunctions - most often associated with a broken ignition coil, which causes more power to be supplied to the wires. Neither the wires nor their insulation are designed for this, so penetration occurs.
Signs of faulty wires
There can be many different signs of faulty high-voltage wires, but there are several signs that, once detected, require the wires to be replaced.
- The car jerks when you press the gas pedal. This is due to the fact that with a higher load the engine needs a large amount of fuel and its timely combustion, but since the wires are not able to give a spark at the right time, the car begins to twitch.
- When starting the car, one or more cylinders may not fire. This is due to the fact that when a spark is transmitted, it breaks through to the housing due to breakdown of the insulation.
To check the wires in more detail, you need to remove them from the car and carefully inspect them.
The wires should not contain:
- Gusts;
- Zadirov;
- Insulation breakdowns;
- Cracks in the plastic case;
Rupture of the protective cap of the GDP
If such problems are found on the wires of your car, then they need to be replaced.
When should you turn on the ignition?
The first thing you should know is that there are no regulations for this operation, since the ignition timing is set or adjusted only if necessary. It may be caused by the following reasons:
- You recently purchased a “Seven” on the secondary market and are trying to “bring it to mind.”
- After engine repair, accompanied by its disassembly.
- After unscrewing or removing the main ignition distributor (distributor), regardless of the reason why this was done.
- When switching from high-octane fuel to gasoline with a lower octane number and vice versa.
- After replacing the contact group or bearing in the distributor (in cars with an old ignition system).
Connection diagram for high voltage wires
Connecting new or removed old wires must be done strictly according to a specific scheme. Otherwise, the spark will not coincide with the compression stroke in the cylinder block.
In other words, when the fuel mixture is ready to ignite in the cylinder, a spark is required to ignite it. If the connection is incorrect, the spark will not appear at the required moment and ignition will not occur, which will make starting the engine impossible.
Scheme
The order and counting of cylinders in VAZ engines starts from the timing belt drive, from left to right, that is, the first cylinder will be at the timing belt, and the 4th at the oil filler neck.
Most often, the cylinder number is indicated on the ignition module, but there are cases when there are no designations on the module, then it is necessary to connect the cylinders according to the diagram shown below.
- The first cylinder is connected to the lower left contact on the MH;
- The second cylinder is connected to the upper left contact on the MH;
- The third cylinder is connected to the upper right contact on the MH;
- The fourth cylinder is connected to the lower right contact on the MH;
