Engine stop device (Escort 4)

Engine stop device electromagnetic valve

When the engine is turned off, the electromagnetic valve of the engine stop device shuts off the fuel supply. The device is faulty if, despite the presence of fuel, no sparks are observed in the cylinders of the engine.

Checking the device

1. When the ignition is turned on, the engine stop device should produce a characteristic click of the electromagnet. The click may be absent if the device is faulty or the power supply circuit of the device is disrupted.

2. To check the power supply circuit, turn on the ignition and use a 12 V test lamp to check for voltage at the device contacts. If the lamp lights up, the device is faulty and must be replaced. If the lamp does not light up, the electrical circuit from the ignition switch to the device is faulty.

3. You can also check the operation by applying voltage from the positive pole of the battery to the terminal of the device using an additional wire. If the device is working properly, you will hear a click.

Continuing to drive with a faulty engine stop device

If the device breaks down on the road, you can continue driving by following these steps:

1. Remove the power cable from the engine stop device.

2. Unscrew the engine stop device.

3. Remove the piston with the valve from the device body and screw the body into place with a torque of 40 Nm.

4. The engine starts without any problems, but the engine can only be stopped by fully braking the car in gear.
