Ignition and engine management systems — general information

            0

The ignition system is designed to ignite the working mixture in the engine cylinders with a spark discharge, which must be created at a strictly defined moment.

The ESC II ignition system is installed on engines with a carburetor and includes an ignition coil, an ignition distributor with an integrated engine speed sensor, an electronic control unit, spark plugs and sensors for coolant temperature, vacuum and neutral position of the automatic transmission selector lever.

The ESC IV ignition system is installed on engines with a fuel injection system and includes an ignition coil, an ignition distributor with an integrated engine speed sensor, an electronic module (controller), spark plugs and sensors for coolant temperature, automatic transmission selector lever neutral position, throttle position and absolute pressure.

The V6-24 engine with a displacement of 2.9 dm3 is equipped with an ignition system without an ignition distributor.

Safety regulations



To avoid electric shock, do not touch high voltage wires while the engine is running.

It is strictly forbidden to connect a test lamp or a capacitor to terminal 1 of the ignition coil.

All connections of measuring devices should be made only with the ignition off.

When checking compression, remove the central wire from the ignition distributor and connect it to an additional spark plug fixed by the body to the ground.

Perform electric welding with the ignition off and the battery disconnected.
