Replacing ignition coils and spark plugs on LADA cars

May 16, 2018 Lada.Online 52 910 0
According to the technical maintenance regulations for LADA cars, spark plugs are changed every 30,000 km. Depending on the engine, replacing the spark plugs will require removing high-voltage wires or individual ignition coils (ICO). Let's look at this process in detail.

On cars Lada Vesta, XRAY, Largus, Priora, Granta, Kalina, Lada 4×4) all actions are performed in the same way.

Ignition coils: new old technologies

Progress, as we know, cannot be stopped. This thesis obviously applies to the development of the automotive industry - every year cars and their systems become more complex, turning, without exaggeration, into works of engineering art. However, there are components that remain virtually unchanged for decades. Simply because they have proven their effectiveness and reliability.

For example, car ignition systems haven't changed much in the last 50 years. Most of them today still require a distribution element and an ignition coil to generate an electrical impulse to ignite the air-fuel mixture in a gasoline engine. The coil itself is a fairly simple device: it is still a transformer with two windings on an iron core. But, as often happens, simplicity in this case is truly synonymous with genius. In our case - efficiency. Let's just imagine: to ignite the air mixture, an electrical impulse of approximately 15,000-30,000 volts is needed. Where can you get such a charge if the battery only provides 12 volts? The same coil generating a high-voltage pulse comes to the rescue.

However, do not think that the coils have not undergone any changes at all. Indeed, in modern conditions it is not enough to simply “charge”; it is necessary to do it in such a way that an accurate impulse actually leads to ignition and complete combustion of the mixture under any engine operating conditions. That is why a modern ignition coil works in tandem with an electronic control unit, which serves to control the pulse time. It can be built into the coil, placed separately, or located inside the engine control unit.

However, it should be remembered that, despite its simplicity, the ignition coil, like other automotive components, is subject to wear and failure over time. Especially due to temperature changes, which is so typical for Russian operating conditions with frosty winters and hot summers. So, if the coil is not changed in time, it can lead to damage to the ECM, which is much more serious and more unpleasant in terms of repair costs.

In the context of replacing ignition coils, qualified car mechanics advise paying attention to Delphi products. The main advantage of Delphi products is 100% original quality. This means reliability, long service life, as well as a wide range of vehicle models. Delphi ignition coils provide the precise amount of electricity to create voltage at the spark plug, resulting in optimal engine performance. In addition, similar to other Delphi ignition system components, the coils allow engine management systems to more tightly control emissions, fuel consumption and performance. Moreover, depending on the specific application, one Delphi coil is capable of servicing one, two, six or eight spark plugs.

Reels, despite their simplicity, require careful handling. Here's what Delphi experts advise those who decide to replace or repair them:

  • The coils should not have visible damage and fit tightly onto the spark plugs. A damaged part can lead to early failure, and a poorly installed coil can lead to misfires.
  • Never disassemble or remove the block from the reel.
  • Do not scratch the reel body or casing or hit the reel.
  • Do not use a hammer or other impact tools to install the coils. Install them using your hands only.
  • Do not use any inappropriate materials when working on the high voltage terminal that connects to the high voltage winding.
  • Do not spray paint or other sprays onto electrical connectors.
  • Always use reasonable force when installing the wires and the coil itself.
  • Do not hang the ignition system by the wires.
  • Do not use force when connecting the wires to the ignition coil.

Failure to follow these guidelines may result in misfire, reduced coil life, voltage leaks, coil deposits, short circuits, cracks, etc.

In addition to coils, Delphi's range of ignition system components includes products such as distributor caps and rotors, EGR valves, idle air control and boost air valves, ignition units, and ignition cable kits.

Delphi is one of the largest suppliers of equipment for the assembly lines of global automakers. Therefore, when purchasing Delphi components, you receive a reliable, productive and durable product of original quality.

Do you happen to know the production date of this reel? I recently installed one with the same catalog number and the coil itself looks different (like the original) www.drive2.ru/l/546508407369108922/

What if the coil flies even if the LPG is installed? Is this not a warranty case?

Yes, even if it’s not a warranty case, then the loss of 1000 rubles will not make you poor))) And so, for a friend on a grant with installed LPG, the rollers and the radiator of the condenser (or stove) were changed without problems.

In theory, the Priorovskaya coil should be suitable? I have in stock, 16 valve.

Certainly. Here's a non-original for example

Depends on dealer

the reel costs 1000 rubles, cool, on Mazda 7 rubles
