Starting a cold engine VAZ-2104, 2105 and 2107

Imagine that you are relaxing with friends in nature. After a good rest, you find that you cannot find the keys to your own car. It has long been dark outside, and it is not possible to find the keys. The only thing you can do is start the car without a key, go home and return to your vacation spot during daylight hours in order to find the ill-fated keys.

But here a completely different problem arises. The fact is that the vast majority of modern cars are equipped in such a way that it is impossible to start them without using a key. This effect is achieved due to special chips built into the key, as well as some other anti-theft devices.

Therefore, you can take advantage of the opportunity to start the engine without using a key only on domestically produced cars. One of these cars is the VAZ-2107, using the example of which we will show exactly how you can start your iron horse without a key.

There are three ways by which the VAZ-2107 can be set in motion without using a key.

Remember that you should try these methods only on your own car, since otherwise you can become quite familiar with the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

How to start a Zhiguli without a key

You need to know how to start a VAZ classic without a key in the event of a breakdown of the ignition switch (jamming, burnt contacts, etc.), as well as if there is a breakage/loss of the key. You can start the engine simply by wires, with two options. The first way is to correctly connect those on the lock. The second will allow you to do without a lock - by shorting the wires under the hood.

How to start a Lada with wires

There are 5 wires connected to the ignition switch on a Zhiguli, one of which (red) starts the starter, and four more close the on-board circuits (ignition, light, etc.). By disconnecting the wires from the ignition switch and connecting them to each other in the same way as the lock usually does, you will be able to start the VAZ without a key.

Step-by-step instructions on how to start a Zhiguli without an ignition switch:

Video on how to start a Lada without keys

1. You need to remove the terminals of all wires from the back of the lock.
2. Check the colors with the diagram. This is necessary in case, after repairs, someone before you changed them without observing the factory colors.
3. Close the white and green terminals (according to the diagram) to turn on the ignition.
4. Connect the terminals of the black and brown wires to turn on the lighting equipment.
5. To turn on the starter to start the Lada, all you have to do is strike the connection of the white and green wires with the red terminal.

As soon as the motor “grabs”, you must immediately remove the red terminal to the side in order to disengage the bendix from the ring.

To avoid a short circuit while driving, it is recommended to wrap individual wire connections, white with green and black with brown, with electrical tape.

How to start a Zhiguli with wires: video instructions

An alternative way to start the engine of a carburetor classic without an ignition key is with wires under the hood. To do this, you will need a piece of single-core cable, about 1.5-2 meters long. The startup order is as follows:

1. We connect the “+” terminal of the battery to the “+” terminal of the ignition coil using a wire of about 1.5 meters.
2. We also connect the second segment, 50 cm long, to the positive side of the battery, but take it in our hand.
3. We disconnect the ignition terminal going to the starter from the interior braid and touch this terminal with the second end of the short wire.

This method is suitable exclusively for starting the engine of a carburetor classic VAZ. If the ignition switch is broken, then without the lock no light sources will work. To fix this, you need to disconnect the terminals from the lock and connect as described above.

Unlocking the steering wheel without a key

If the key is lost, but the steering wheel lock is turned on, then in order to drive normally without keys, it is not enough to start the car with wires. What to do if the steering wheel is locked?

There are three ways to unlock a locked Zhiguli steering wheel:

• saw through the locking tab with a metal saw;
• ask another “giver” for help;
• go to the auto store.

How to unlock the steering wheel on a classic VAZ

To unlock the steering wheel without vandalism, you will need a working lock (which you need to borrow from other Zhigulis or buy), as well as a flat-head screwdriver. The order of work is as follows:

1. Using a screwdriver, remove the metal plate from the lock cylinder (secret).
2. We pry and take out the larva.
3. Similarly, we remove the cylinder of the lock to which there is a key.
4. We insert a working cylinder and unlock the steering wheel by turning the key.

Starter relay VAZ 2101, 2102, 2103, 2104, 2105, 2106, 2107

The structural structure, which has a VAZ 2106 starter solenoid relay, has a complex structure. At the same time, many drivers who more or less understand the details of the “six” can disassemble it with their own hands.

As for subsequent assembly, not every motorist can cope with this task. In this case, it is best to trust the professionals.

If you think the relay needs to be replaced but are not sure, it needs to be thoroughly inspected. It is noteworthy that the relay in the six functions similarly to other elements installed in various vehicle models. That is, it performs the functions of an electromagnet.

To check its condition, it is closed with a metal object. For example, you can use a screwdriver. If the starter begins to make rotational movements, then the starter relay will indeed need to be repaired. When clicks are heard from the retractor-type relay, but the starter rotates, then it is the latter that is broken.

Why does the starter relay stop working? There are several answers to this question. The problem may be due to outdated parts (the material deteriorates over time). The winding also burns out. In this case, the reason may lie in the combustion of nickels, which are located in the inner part of the relay itself.

However, for a novice driver who has not previously done repairs, it is necessary to find out where the VAZ starter relay is located. If he does not want to waste his time and think about how to disassemble this part (by the way, there is a visual diagram of the relay, and you can buy all the spare parts yourself), then he can turn to professionals. They will not only disassemble this part, but will also connect the relay. In this case the price will be minimal.

Starter solenoid relay

If the starter is safely removed from under the hood, it must be cleaned. Contaminants are removed from it. As for oxidized contacts, they are processed using sandpaper.

Diagnostics of the starter solenoid relay:

1. The starter is located near the battery. In this case, 2 electrical wires are prepared, which must be of sufficient length. Wires intended for “lighting” are ideal. They are equipped with so-called “crocodiles”.
2. Initially, the positive terminal is connected to the battery (the corresponding output of the solenoid relay) via one electrical wire.
3. Then the other wire is connected to the battery terminal, which has a negative value.
4. Finally, you need to touch the free unoccupied end of the electrical wire with a negative value. This contact must take place with the starter housing. Further actions will depend on the results obtained.

If during the connection process the solenoid relay makes a quick and distinct click, then it is operating normally. When the part does not show any signs of “life,” the solenoid relay must be repaired or completely replaced.

How to start a Zhiguli directly on the starter

If the problem is not in the lock, but in the wiring, and shorting the terminals does not help, you can try to start the Lada by supplying current directly to the starter, bypassing the lock, just as, for example, when the solenoid or starter relay does not work. This is done by closing the contacts using a screwdriver or a piece of thick wire.

How to start directly

Starting the starter directly with a screwdriver or pliers

There are two ways to start the car directly from the starter. The first, classic one, is to use a screwdriver to close the contacts of the power wire and the control of the solenoid relay. The second one is applicable if there are problems with the wiring; you need to supply power to the starter via a wire directly from the battery.

The first way to start a Zhiguli directly looks like this:

1. Turn on the ignition, since it will not be possible to start the Lada with a screwdriver without supplying power to the coil.
2. Open the hood to get to the starter, which is located below on the battery side.
3. Using a screwdriver, close the power contact (thick wire from the battery) and the control contact of the solenoid relay (thin wire) at the starter.
4. Quickly remove the screwdriver as soon as the motor starts running.

When starting a VAZ classic with a screwdriver, it is important not to touch other metal parts so as not to cause a short circuit.

The second method is the same, but you will need a piece of wire. Need to:

1. Open the hood, turn on the ignition.
2. Connect a piece of wire with one end to the battery positive, and the other to the wire going to the starter retractor from the braid.
3. Disconnect the wire when the engine starts.

What causes an incorrectly set ignition on a VAZ 2107

An incorrect lead angle causes the following problems:

Engine overheating. Early ignition causes detonation, which changes the temperature regime of the engine. At the same time, the load on the crank mechanism increases, reducing their service life.

Reduced vehicle dynamics. Early and late ignition of the VAZ 2107 leads to the fact that fuel energy is not optimally consumed. The explosion of the mixture must occur exactly when the piston is at TDC.

Burnout of valves. With late ignition, the mixture continues to burn throughout the exhaust phase, causing the valves to overheat and “popping” to occur in the exhaust manifold.

Method 2.

In order to implement this method, you will need to drill a hole located slightly above the keyhole. This way you destroy the locking mechanism. If you manage to open the lock, you won’t have any problems starting the engine.

But, unfortunately, after performing such manipulations you will have to spend a little money, since the ignition switch will be unsuitable for further use and will need to be replaced.

Therefore, before resorting to this method of starting a car

without a key, think about the appropriateness of this action.

Why adjust the ignition?

At the beginning of the article we already touched upon the problem of detonation. But that is not all. The fact is that an engine is a very precise device where all processes must take place on time. This is necessary so that the fuel mixture burns efficiently, thereby ensuring power delivery. If the mixture ignites at a large distance before TDC, detonation will occur. This is early ignition.

If the mixture ignites when the piston is already at top dead center, the mixture will not burn completely. As a result, you can not expect full power delivery. In addition, the car will definitely have increased fuel consumption, and the engine itself will operate unstably. This all indicates that the car has a late ignition.

Starting a Lada engine without a starter

If the starter does not work or the battery is dead, then you can start the Lada with a pusher or with a crooked starter. We will consider each method in detail separately.

How to start with a pushrod

You can push the car yourself on a flat road, but you will need certain equipment there; it is better to act if there is a hill/slope.

How to start a car with a pushrod

You can start a Zhiguli with a discharged battery from a pusher in this way:

1. Turn on the ignition.
2. Pump gasoline into the carburetor using a fuel pump.
3. Pull the choke out a little to enrich the mixture.
4. Engage neutral and roll the car onto a flat, straight section.
5. Position yourself near the open driver's door, grab the pillar and accelerate the car to a speed of about 10 km/h.
6. When the speed is up, jump into the seat, press the clutch and gas, engage second gear (the first quickly reduces speed due to the high frequency of movement of the pistons).
7. As soon as the engine starts to catch, “play” with the clutch, pressing and releasing, so that it begins to work stably.

If you have an assistant or another machine, everything is easier. Enough:

1. Hang on to the cable or ask an assistant to push and sit behind the wheel.
2. When the towing vehicle or assistant picks up speed, press the clutch and engage the gear.
3. As soon as the engine starts, press the clutch and put it in neutral again, stop (if a person is pushing) or give a stop signal to the towing person and also stop behind him.

If there is a good slope, you can simply roll the car onto it so that it rolls down, immediately get behind the wheel and start driving.

Starting the engine manually

Another way to start a Zhiguli if the starter does not work is to start from a “crooked” position. This way you can start old VAZs of the classic family that have a manual starter function (there is a hole in the crankshaft pulley and in the bumper). To start a VAZ with a crooked starter, you need:

Starting a VAZ from a crooked starter

1. Set the gear to neutral.
2. Turn on the ignition.
3. Open the choke.
4. Pump gasoline into the carburetor.
5. Insert curved starter.
6. Take the pen so that all fingers are on one side (the thumb is with the rest, and not opposite).
7. Turn the handle until it starts (from top to bottom clockwise).

You need to keep your fingers together so that in the event of a reverse flash (if the spark passes early and the shaft moves in the wrong direction) or the engagement mechanism jams, you do not get injured.

A useful recommendation from the owner of a VAZ 2101: after pumping up gasoline with a gas pump, first turn it slowly 5 times, then get into the car and pull out the choke. Depress the gas pedal 10 times and turn on the ignition. Then set the starter knob to the “5 o’clock” position and sharply turn the knob clockwise. The engine will be able to start the second or third time. You need to scroll with gloves or a wrapped rag. Don’t try to use it like a sewing machine—one sharp tug is all it takes. Be careful not only with the placement of your fingers on the handle, but also so that after starting you do not puncture the radiator. The end of the curve flies off the ratchet and it’s very easy to throw it somewhere to the side!

Preparing a car for winter

So, preparing the car begins even before the cold weather begins. A little preparatory work will make it easier to start the power plant of this car at low temperatures.

The first thing you need to take care of is the battery. Before frost sets in, you need to carry out a full range of maintenance work on it - check the density of the electrolyte, and, if necessary, bring it to the required level. Also fully charge it.

If the engine oil has almost exhausted its service life, then you should not wait for this to happen and replace it while it’s still warm. The use of mineral oil is strictly not recommended. If in summer it is still suitable for use, then in winter such a little can lead to engine failure. At low temperatures it thickens greatly and when starting the engine, there is a possibility that the thick liquid will simply squeeze out the crankshaft oil seals.

We'll have to work on the power system as well. It doesn’t matter which system is used on the VAZ, you will need to flush the system and replace the fuel and air filters.

It would be a good idea to check the valve adjustment and ignition system. Spark plugs must be carefully inspected and cleaned, and their gap adjusted. It would not be a bad idea to purchase a new set of spark plugs “in reserve”, and they should always be in the car.

The car's cooling system is also worth looking at. If it is filled with antifreeze, which has been used for several years, then it is better to replace it with a new one.

You can, of course, purchase a pre-heater for your car, but its cost is significant and not everyone can afford it, so we’ll do without them.

Some craftsmen “manage” to install heating elements operating from a 220 network in the oil pan. The idea is good, but only if it is possible to park the car next to the house in order to run the wiring.

You can also equip the car with a system that will automatically start the engine at certain intervals to warm up. But it’s better not to rely on such a system. Firstly, it will start the engine and keep it idling, which will not be enough to recharge the battery and ultimately the system will simply land it. Secondly, such a system is not suitable for a carburetor car.

Ignition system VAZ 2101

Classic Zhiguli models with carburetor engines are equipped with an ignition system that requires periodic adjustment. The efficiency and stable operation of the power unit depends on the correct setting of the ignition timing and the uninterrupted operation of this system. Since ignition adjustment is one of the most important measures for setting up an engine, it is worthwhile to dwell on this process, as well as on the constituent elements of the ignition system, in more detail.

What it is

The ignition system is a combination of several devices and devices that ensure sparking and further ignition of the combustible mixture in the engine cylinders at the right time. This system has several functions:

1. The formation of a spark at the moment of compression of the piston, according to the order of operation of the cylinders.
2. Ensuring timely ignition timing according to the optimal advance angle.
3. Creation of such a spark as is necessary to ignite the fuel-air mixture.
4. Continuous sparking.

Principle of spark formation

When the ignition is turned on, current begins to flow to the contacts of the distributor breaker. When starting the engine, the ignition distributor shaft rotates simultaneously with the crankshaft, which, with its cam, closes and opens the low voltage circuit. The pulses are supplied to the ignition coil, where the voltage is converted to high voltage, after which it is supplied to the central contact of the distributor. Then the voltage is distributed through the slider across the contacts of the cover and supplied to the spark plugs via explosive wires. In this way, a spark is formed and distributed.

Diagram of the VAZ 2101 ignition system: 1 - generator; 2 — ignition switch; 3 — ignition distributor; 4 — breaker cam; 5 — spark plugs; 6 — ignition coil; 7 - battery

Why is adjustment needed?

If the ignition is set incorrectly, many problems arise:

• power is lost;
• the motor is troublesome;
• fuel consumption increases;
• pops and shots appear in the silencer;
• unstable operation at idle, etc.

To avoid all of these difficulties, the ignition needs to be adjusted. Otherwise, normal operation of the vehicle will be impossible.

How to start a Zhiguli without a battery

If you don’t have a battery at hand at all (it was stolen, the battery has short-circuited, etc.), you won’t be able to just start the car. The fact is that the classic VAZ family (like most cars) uses a generator that requires external excitation. To excite the windings, you will need at least some kind of current source capable of delivering about 12 volts. You can try less, but if the source is very weak (like a lithium battery from portable electronics), it’s not a guarantee that it will work.

That is, without external power, nothing will work, but if it is available, you can start the Zhiguli without a battery using one of the methods described above (from a pusher, from a hill, from a curve, with a cable).

Before manipulation, it is advisable to isolate the plus terminal going to the battery to prevent short circuits during operation.

To excite the generator you need:

1. Connect the negative contact of the current source to ground (for example, the generator housing or the negative terminal for the battery).
2. Remove the excitation terminal (thin wire) from the generator.
3. Connect the current source plus to the terminal on the generator.
4. Try to start the car using one of the starting methods without a starter.
5. After starting the motor, remove the current source and return the excitation terminal to its place.

Operating without a battery is abnormal for the generator and can lead to problems with the electrical part, since it has nowhere to “dump” excess current. Therefore, in order to avoid problems, it is advisable to turn on more consumers (headlights, wipers, music, stove fan, etc.).

Wiring harness in the cabin

The front wiring harness, located in the engine compartment, is the main electrical system. The front beam enters the car interior through a technological hole with a seal under the instrument panel. The front end electrical system connects to the dash wires, fuse box, switches, and ignition. In this part of the cabin, the main electrical circuits are protected by fuses.

The new cable will provide sufficient voltage to power current consumers in the cabin

The fuse box is located to the left of the steering wheel. Auxiliary relays are attached to the bracket behind the block. The reliable operation of the VAZ 2101 depends on the proper functioning of electrical devices and relays. Fuses protect the electrical circuits of the VAZ 2101 from short circuits.

Simple fuses are a reliable safety element in the event of a short circuit

List of electrical components protected by fuses:

1. Horn, brake lights, interior lamps, cigarette lighter, portable lamp socket (16 A).
2. Heating motor, wiper relay, windshield washer motor (8 A).
3. Main beam of the left headlight, high beam indicator lamp (8 A).
4. High beam of the right headlight (8 A).
5. Low beam left headlight (8 A).
6. Low beam of the right headlight (8 A).
7. Side light of the left sidelight, side light of the right rear light, size indicator lamp, instrument panel light, license plate light, trunk light (8 A).
8. Side light of the right side light, side light of the left rear light, cigarette lighter lamp, engine compartment light (8 A).
9. Coolant temperature sensor, fuel level sensor and reserve indicator lamp, oil pressure lamp, parking brake lamp and brake fluid level indicator, battery charge level lamp, direction indicators and their indicator lamp, reversing lamp, glove compartment lamp ) (8 A).
10. Generator (excitation winding), voltage regulator (8 A).

the basin is very easy to start if you are stealing, you need to rip off the door lock, and then rip off the panel under the steering wheel, then you need to rip off the chip from the wires so that they are free and connect the blue black and red and put the pink one on top))))) I have friends just before they were doing this, but they just put everyone in prison, you just need to think at the beginning and then take risks……….

How to start a car without a key?

You've probably seen more than once while watching another action-packed movie how the main character gets behind the wheel of a car without keys, pulls out a bunch of wires from under it, connects something to something else, the car starts, and he drives away.

In fact, a similar situation can happen in everyday life, without any action, chases or other movie parts. At any moment, the human factor can come into play and key can simply be taken and lost or broken with a sharp jerk in the door lock or ignition socket, which in itself is quite unpleasant, because it will require expensive repairs and replacement of locks on all doors and steering column mechanism.

Because how to repeat the trick from the movie and how to start without an ignition key?

To do this, first you need to carefully get to the wires, which will require removing the protective cover located under the steering wheel.

How to unlock the door when the keys are left in the car

To start a Zhiguli 2106 model without a key, it is important to know how to open the doors when they are slammed, because all recommendations are based on the fact that you are already in the car.

To unlock the auto lock, follow these steps:

1. Hook up part of the glass seal located on the driver's door from the lock side. Any sharp object will do for this, including a nail file, a small flat-head screwdriver and any other available tools.
2. We take out a small part of the seal (a few centimeters), engaging it.
3. We take a piece of wire, the length of which will be equal to the length of the door. Next, at one end of the wire you need to make a loop approximately two centimeters long at an angle of 45 °.
4. The hook should be inserted into the opening between the glass and the door. When the wire hits an obstacle, we look for a mechanism that opens the door. To this end, we continue to press with the wire, moving the hook until it falls through, and then we move it to the right.

Removing the immobilizer control unit

1. Remove the negative terminal of the battery.

2. Remove the instrument panel trim.

3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two screws securing the unit to the instrument panel, holding the screw nuts with a 10 mm wrench.

4. Remove the block from the instrument panel and disconnect the harness block

Removing the remote control unit

Raise the rear seat cushion. Loosen the screws securing the carpet in the rear left door opening.

3. Having folded back the edge of the carpet and the sound insulation, disconnect the wiring block from the remote control unit.

Method No. 2

If you own a car manufactured in the 60-70s of the last century, if you need to start the engine keyless, you do not have to remove the steering column cover. How to start the car without a key in this case? Usually on such machines it is enough to remove the ignition switch cylinder. There is a small recess on it that should be turned with a minus screwdriver. It is not necessary to connect any wires and insulate them. After this, the car will automatically start, and the risk of damage to the electronics (which is almost non-existent on older cars) is minimal.

One of the simplest methods

This method consists of connecting wiring according to an existing circuit. This allows you to start the Zhiguli without a key. VAZ-2106 and other similar models are launched according to these instructions.

1. Remove the steering column cover, which is secured with a pair of screws.
2. After removing the column, you will have access to the ignition switch, to the wires running from the battery and starter to the ground cord.
3. The main thing is to know which specific wiring needs to be used. Mostly the ground wire is black or green, but you should still check this so that the on-board system of the machine does not short-circuit. Use a tester to determine if the cord is a grounding cord. To do this, the wire is connected to the metal body of the Zhiguli, the instrument needle must remain at the value “0”. If everything is correct, the wire needs to be insulated.
4. Connect the remaining two wires to each other, connect to the battery and starter. After this, the latter receives an electric starting current, and the car starts.
5. Before driving the car, one of the wires must be insulated so that the starter does not start spinning while driving.

It should be said that if the wire is poorly grounded, this can lead to a short circuit of all electronics in a VAZ-2106 car or in other models, so the more electronic equipment is installed, the more expensive it is to make subsequent repairs.

Helpful Tips and Warnings

When undertaking this type of installation work, be prepared for unforeseen circumstances. Use the above methods only in extreme cases, since almost all of them lead to irreversible changes in the design of the car, which can only be eliminated through repair work. In case of incorrect actions, the car may be damaged to such an extent that even specialists cannot eliminate it.

After starting the engine, never leave the ignition wires twisted. Because of this, the engine ignition system can be severely damaged and the battery discharged. For most cars, if the car is started incorrectly without a key, the alarm will be activated. And car models with a computer chip in the ignition switch will not start without a key, because it controls the operation of the electronic control module. This module is directly responsible for starting the engine.

If the ignition wires are disconnected while driving, the engine stops instantly and the car may be de-energized (read about how to replace the ignition switch contact group). The steering and brakes may also fail, so do not allow the wires to become disconnected. To avoid electric shock, use dielectric gloves. But even with these gloves, you should not touch the exposed contacts.

Button does not work

When the trunk does not open, it means that the activator relay has failed. Usually specialists place it next to the button. Replace it with a good one.

Sometimes this doesn’t help, then you have to look for a break in the wires. Use a tester for this.

It would also be a good idea to inspect the fuses. If the lock has been lubricated for a long time, then the work of the traction overloads the electrical system of the car, and the fuse-link of the protective device may not withstand it.

When none of the above tips work, you will have to climb into the trunk through the interior by removing the rear seat, as described above.

Dismantling the lock cylinder

Before starting this procedure, you need to “read” on the Internet recommendations for replacing the cylinder specifically for your car model, since there are thousands of possible options. It is possible that you will have to drill a hole in the lock structure, for example, as in GOLF 3.

Or AUDI.

In some cases, it is necessary to make “special tools”.

Repair of the lock cylinder

To carry out repairs, it is necessary to disassemble the larva. Its design can be complex, such as in BMW.

If you look closely, you can see that each element of the comb is signed with a two-digit code. We sell repair kits for lock cylinders of different car models. The main choice of repair option is faced by the car owner and the specific situation.

If you have three or four good keys for the car, it is better to purchase a repair kit and “reassemble” the cylinder. Anyone can do this, even without special knowledge. The comb elements are sequentially inserted, starting from the first, and the key is inserted into the cylinder until the metal parts protrude from the cylinder. The element number is recorded. The procedure then continues for the next positions of the larva. The selection is lengthy, but overall the process is creative and entertaining.

There is a simpler and faster repair option. To do this, you need to insert the key into the cylinder along with all the filling and cut off everything that protrudes beyond its limits with an emery wheel. Check for protrusions when installing other keys. Fast, but this option reduces the car’s security against theft.

If your car only comes with one or two keys, it may be cheaper to buy a new key. Then you will have to reinstall the immobilizer chip in the new keys that come with the cylinder. It is necessary to disassemble the new keys and check if they have the necessary cavities to accommodate the chip. If the original keys contain electronics and buttons, this option will not work at all. There may be an option to replace only the metal part of the key.
