With the arrival of hot days, more and more drivers are faced with the problem of poor engine starting when hot, after several minutes of parking. Moreover, this is a problem not only for carburetor engines - a situation where it does not start when hot can await both owners of cars with injection engines and diesel cars. Only the reasons are different for everyone. Here we will try to collect them and identify the most common ones.

Lada Kalina 8 and 16 valves high fuel consumption, what is the reason

Today, such a car indicator as fuel consumption per 100 km is of concern to every owner. The actual value of this parameter does not always coincide with the value declared by the manufacturer in the attached documentation. Interest in this topic is only fueled by ever-increasing prices for fuel resources. Reviews indicate the particular relevance of this issue among the cohort of car owners of domestic origin.

To study this problem in detail, we will consider a model from the budget segment Lada Kalina with a volume of 1.4 or 1.6. The technical aspects of this machine are best suited for a detailed analysis of such characteristics as fuel consumption. The family of “Russian” modifications involves the presence of different body styles and engine configurations. This moment brings maximum objectivity to the issue we are considering.

What factors determine the fuel consumption per 100 km of Kalina? Is it possible to force it down?

According to the degree of “gluttony”, the car is characterized by the following factors:

• quality of refueled fuel;
• technical condition of the power plant and transmission unit;
• driving style;
• other operating conditions;
• the amount of pressure inside the tires.

Any of the identified aspects can significantly increase fuel consumption per 100 km, and therefore, we will consider each factor individually.

Petrol

In order to fully understand this problem, it is necessary to consider it using the example of an average car in all respects - the Lada Kalina. The characteristics of this machine are ideal for analyzing gasoline consumption. It has two completely different body types and many powertrain modifications, which makes this process as objective as possible. What determines the fuel consumption of a Lada Kalina car? Is there a possibility to reduce it? The gluttony of a car is determined by the following parameters:

How to decipher errors?

Since the nuts are usually tightly tightened and may be oxidized and rusty, WD-40 or a similar product is used, and their tightening can be loosened by light blows of a hammer on a non-sharp chisel or the handle of a flat-head screwdriver, the tip of which is placed on the edge of the nut. To avoid getting into a hopeless situation with an empty tank, the driver has to record the odometer readings and calculate the approximate mileage based on fuel consumption.

Ignition problem

If the car has ignition problems, the spark is very weak. If you press the gas sharply, the spark plugs are filled. The spark plugs are lit and the spark fades.

It is not difficult to test this hypothesis. When unscrewing the spark plug, it will become noticeable that it is wet. If there is a suspicion that there is a problem with the ignition, it is necessary to check the entire system.

Long-term service of spark plugs can lead to problems such as penetration into the housing.

Checking high voltage wires can be done using a spare kit. If it is missing, you can start the engine at night by looking under the hood. If the wires are damaged, current discharges may occur.

If a breakdown such as the car stalling when you press the gas is a frequent occurrence, then it is better to seek help from professionals.

Checking the fuel pump fuse

Before starting the test, it is advisable to study the location of fuses in the blocks of various cars. This can be done using the operating instructions for a specific vehicle, on specialized auto forums, etc. Having decided which fuse is responsible for the fuel pump and where the specified element is located, you can begin to look for the problem.

1. To check and replace the fuel pump fuse yourself, you will need a special clamp or tweezers. First you need to remove the cover from the fuse box, which is usually secured with latches. Next, we find the element itself responsible for the operation of the fuel pump. For example, in Priora the solution is designated F13 and passes a current of 15A.
2. Now we remove the element using a clamp, pliers or tweezers. If the fuse is blown, then you should carry out an in-depth diagnosis of the wiring condition and check the contacts on the fuel pump itself, after which the faulty element in the pump circuit is replaced with a new one.

The main reasons for high fuel consumption on the Lada Kalina • The removed FLS can be inspected and, in case of repairable faults, repaired and replaced, or immediately replaced.

If the diesel engine doesn't work

A decrease in traction can also occur in diesel engines. If we look at old cars that have completely mechanical power systems, then the most common cause is depressurization of the system.

As a result, air enters the fuel, which is why the fuel injection pump is unable to provide the required pressure.

• clogged filters;
• weakly pumping fuel priming pump;
• damaged plunger pair;
• Coking of injector nozzles.

And if we also add possible problems with the timing belt and CPG, then identifying the cause will not be so easy.

In modern diesel installations, where an additional electronic component is used, the search range will increase.

For example, the Common Rail system uses all the same sensors as the injection engine. And if at least one of them breaks, this will certainly affect the operation of the control part.

Reasons for high fuel consumption on VAZ

Welcome, friends, to the DIY car repair website. Fortunately, not all car enthusiasts switched to foreign cars. There are also those who continue to successfully drive domestic VAZ cars. Why not?

Reasons for high fuel consumption

VAZ cars are very reliable, easy to maintain and unpretentious to fuel. But there is one problem that we constantly have to struggle with - increased “gluttony”.

Let's figure out what are the reasons for the high fuel consumption on the much-loved “classics” and more modern cars.

1. The air damper is not fully open. It is no secret that the normal position of the damper when the engine is warm is vertical. In turn, the position of the choke handle is “towards you”.

If the choke is pulled out completely, but the damper has not yet reached a vertical position, then the problem is obvious. The air-fuel mixture enters the combustion chamber too rich. As a result, consumption also increases.

conclusions

The main cause of failures are spark plugs, but they are not the only ones that influence the appearance of this effect. Some car enthusiasts may not be able to cope with the occurrence of such malfunctions on their own, and it is necessary to go to a car service center, where they will carry out high-quality diagnostics and also fix the problem. But at the same time, it is worth considering that you will have to be generous, since neither the repair nor the repair will cost a penny.

Good day everyone, First of all, the topic is addressed to those who have had at least some experience in operating a LADA car. The cause of the malfunction is in the engine (1.6, injector, 8 class Euro-3). Signs:

so that everyone can understand what’s wrong with the engine - I’ll put it simply: all the signs of an advanced stage of a clogged catalyst! (i.e. poor engine starting, does not develop speed, high operating temperature of the engine during prolonged operation, does not run at all, you have to decelerate like an old motorcycle even in order to start normally). I’ll say right away - it’s not about him!

Now a little background:

The car was purchased new in 2005, initially the engine seemed “strangled”. But without paying attention to this, they referred to the reason for its Euro-3 environmental class (it was not possible to compare engine dynamics at that time). We traveled like this for several years. By that time, the engine was becoming less dynamic, and citing its mileage (50-70 t.km.), they decided that the catalyst had definitely melted. Having heard enough stories about how easy it is to get rid of it, we didn’t take one thing into account :) If everything were that simple, it turned out to be metal

, not ceramic))). How we got rid of it is a separate story, but the result was still achieved. We start the engine, move off and... OH GOD! its dynamics have not changed in any way, only it has become louder (((( Around the same time, another malfunction appeared: the engine began to get hot during operation (high-quality antifreeze was used since the car was in operation!!). Now it not only does not pull , and it’s also heating up. The next struggle began with the second malfunction. The temperature sensor was replaced, then the pump, then the thermostat, then the temperature sensor again, and then the radiator itself. All this lasted for a year. Then we decided that the increased the operating temperature of the engine is a side effect of its first malfunction. Are the marks off? No, everything is normal. Again, all efforts were thrown into searching for the first cause. The next step was to change the engine program to the Euro-2 class. We set off - zero result! ... We continue to drive Over time, the dynamics of the car became comparable to a car loaded with 3, 4, 5, 10 bags of potatoes, and then it felt like you were towing a car. The mileage was already 100-130 t.km. It's time to change the fuel pump grid - zero results, then the fuel pump - zero results, cleaning the injectors - the same story. I am already silent about how many diagnostics have been made since operation. The parameters are always normal, and to the question “why doesn’t it work?” There are no exact answers. “Try changing this, doing that, checking the marks.” Like a fool, I’ve been checking my timing marks almost every month for several years now - in case they suddenly go wrong? If only I had known earlier what result this troubleshooting would lead to (What’s most interesting is that all the repairs done were typical for the operation of a LADA car, but only now I understand that most of them were in vain. Perhaps I would have continued to drive like this, so Only last week the car stopped moving at all. It accelerates only at a quarter of the gas and then in a straight line, and when starting from a stop uphill, where you need to give more gas, it completely choke (it hums and goes 1-2 km/h).

Maybe there are GURUs and SENSEIs among you who can tell you what the reason is?

PS I have extensive experience in operating the domestic automobile industry, and I myself am a mechanic by profession, I thought that LADA cars had been studied inside and out. He practically did the repairs himself, and the signs seemed to be characteristic. BUT THIS CASE BROUGHT ME TO my KNEES.

Possible error codes Kalina

So, over my entire driving experience of 8 years and the total mileage on all my cars is at least 300,000 km, I have several comments and opinions about what can affect fuel consumption and how to moderate the engine’s appetite. Since the car is most often used with a fuel tank filled to 40-60, it is in this range that abrasion of the resistive layer occurs most quickly.

Fuel pump fuse location

In the process of searching for a faulty element, car enthusiasts are often interested in where the fuel pump fuse is located on a VAZ 2110 or Priora, as well as on various models of foreign-made cars.

Let's start with the fact that almost any modern car has several special fuse blocks. This decision is due to the fact that several devices in the circuit significantly reduce the risk of fire. Also, these solutions conditionally localize possible fault areas, dividing the circuit into segments from block to block.

With the so-called “high” panels, the fuse for the fuel pump is located on the left in the area of ​​the front passenger's feet. As for the “European” panel on the VAZ, in this version this element in the fuel pump circuit is located under the control controls for the interior heater (stove).

Standard Flow - Engine Malfunctions

The manufacturer sets the standards for digital fuel consumption indicators for each Lada Kalina model based on the results of test runs of passenger cars on a special track. The problem of viburnum with electronic gas is the increase in consumption in transitional conditions, driving around the city from 11 liters. I am personally interested in this problem in the process, over several years it has become self-diagnosis. One thing I can say when they say that the problem is that the engine is faulty or that you hit the gas too hard or the new shit won't work.

• City - 9.4 l.
• Route – 6.7 l.
• Mixed pace - 8.9 l.

Replacing the air flow sensor

The replacement procedure is as follows:

1. First you need to loosen the clamp that secures the air duct, for this you use a Phillips-head screwdriver. The pipe itself can be dismantled.
2. Disconnect the power connector from the regulator; to do this, simply press the latch at the bottom and pull the plug itself to the side.
3. Next, using 10mm wrenches, you need to unscrew the two bolts. It may be difficult at this stage, so you can use a ratchet to unscrew the bolts quickly.
4. The regulator can then be moved to the side and removed.
5. The installation procedure is carried out in reverse order.

Standard consumption

According to the passport, Kalina in a mixed cycle in the city consumes:

1. Engines with a volume of 1.4 liters consume about 8.4 liters of fuel in the city. On the highway, consumption is 6.2 liters. In the mixed cycle - about 7.3 liters . These figures were obtained using AI-95 gasoline.
2. 1.6 liter engines consume a little more. In the city - 9 liters , and on the highway - 6.8 liters . Accordingly, in a mixed cycle the consumption is about 8 liters .

Car jerks when accelerating

Back to the club VAZ / Lada (Lada) Kalina

people, this is such a crap - when switching from 1st to 2nd speed, when I press the gas smoothly, acceleration proceeds normally, but if I press the slipper more, the car starts to twitch and only then accelerates. This recently started happening after a full tank of gas was filled with new gas, so to speak. I've been driving this tank for two weeks now. Could this be due to the gasoline? before everything was normal, viburnum 1.4

neither the spark plugs nor the coils have been changed since the previous owner, as long as they were with him - idk. Well, it's definitely not because of the gasoline?

Fuel consumption depending on engine

Experts have prepared an information table that shows the factory fuel consumption indicators for each model of the Lada Kalina passenger car, taking into account the mandatory parameters. The workshop said that I often filled with low-quality fuel, this seems to be true, the gas station near my house does not belong to any of the well-known networks.

First block: location, what it consists of

The first system is located under the cover, next to the speed switch, slightly below the ashtray. Knowing where the Kalina fuel pump fuse is located, you can troubleshoot many problems. To pry off the cover, just use a flat-head screwdriver.

The numbers in the image correspond to the numbering: 1. Power circuit; 2. Fuel pump; 3. A circuit designed to continuously power the ECU; 4. Connector necessary for diagnosing the condition of the ECM. If the Kalina fuel pump fuse stops working, you need to carefully remove it using tweezers or another device, then insert another one. When performing these manipulations, the battery must be disconnected.

About work culture and regulations

The fuel system of LADA Kalina (and not only) requires cleanliness of both the gasoline itself and the components involved in its supply to the engine. All dismantled parts of the system must be perfectly cleaned and washed before reinstallation. When replacing the mesh, we also recommend replacing the filter used for fine fuel purification. Where is this filter located? It is located inside the right stern wheel arch near the jack stand cup. According to the regulations, this element requires replacement no less than after 30 thousand kilometers.

Note that there are two more mesh filters along the fuel path in the circuit, one of which is installed in front of the fuel pressure regulator, and the second directly in front of the injectors. These filters “take over” fuel that has already been practically purified in the preliminary stages, so the need to replace them is extremely rare.

Security system and other errors – EMU malfunctions

1. The 8-valve engine with 1600 cc capacity is characterized by low power but excellent torque. When the load increases, there is often no need to downshift. The advantage is that damage to the timing belt will not cause the valves to collide with the pistons, and they will not be deformed. The downside is that it is noisy during operation. When driving on the highway at a speed of 90 km/h, the claimed consumption is 5.5 liters per 100 km.
2. The 1.6-liter power unit, equipped with sixteen valves, is significantly more powerful than its predecessor, but its thrust has decreased. It is more capricious in terms of fuel and oil, its maintenance and repairs are more expensive. True, it also consumes less gasoline: according to the manufacturer, consumption on the highway is about 5 liters, in the city - 7 liters, mixed - 6 liters. The actual figures are slightly higher. The main reason for greater efficiency with increased power is better efficiency when consuming the fuel-air mixture, faster fuel supply to the cylinder and exhaust gas output.
3. The most economical is the smaller engine with 16 valves. The revolutions have increased to 4.5 thousand per minute, but driving with a load in high gear is unlikely to be possible. If the timing belt breaks, there is a risk of bending the valves, and this will affect the cost of repairs.

Car jerks when accelerating

Back to the club VAZ / Lada (Lada) Kalina
people, such a crap - when moving from 1st to 2nd speed, when I press the gas smoothly, acceleration proceeds normally, but if I press the slipper more, the car starts to twitch and only then accelerates. This recently started happening after a full tank of gas was filled with new gas, so to speak. I've been driving this tank for two weeks now. Could this be due to the gasoline? before everything was normal, viburnum 1.4

neither the spark plugs nor the coils have been changed since the previous owner, as long as they were with him - idk. Well, it's definitely not because of the gasoline?

Possibly condensation. Try to drown it as much as possible and fill it with 95-one, it removes condensate well

and gasoline could also be the culprit.

not long ago there was a dip in the gas, if you suddenly need to pick up speed, the car jerked up to 2.5 revolutions, but then everything became normal, went to the diagnostics, showed that there was a misfire in cylinder 1, the diagnostician said change the coil. The coil broke, replaced it, bought new ones, everything is fine.

To find out exactly where, do you need to do a shorter diagnosis? Well, I'll try to fill it with another gas first. If it doesn't help, you'll have to send it for diagnostics.

yes, start small. Well, look at the spark plugs, there is oil in the wells of 16kL engines

The other day I changed the coil myself, but I didn’t know that it was drizzling. 800 rubles for a coil, although in the store it’s 600 and 150 rubles for work and 500 rubles for diagnostics. Here

Yes, she doesn’t seem to eat butter. I’m telling you, this crap recently began to appear when I filled up a whole tank of 95 gasoline. I went somewhere for a week, everything was fine, and then such failures began

There was a case - here a guy from Kirov asked for help and said he refueled, drove 30 km and started getting stuck and sometimes tripping. We took out the pump, and there was an emulsion at the bottom of the tank, floating in large spots

tough((but what’s interesting is that there are failures precisely when switching to speed 2. When I switch to speed 3 from the second, everything is fine

pull the coils out of the wells and look at the rubber bands (insulators) What year is the car?

Description

As you know, any Priora and Kalina have a cooling system that ensures normal engine operation and helps prevent overheating. One of the devices that allows you to cool the power unit is a fan sensor, upon the signal of which the ventilation device should turn on.

On Kalina, this controller is designed to activate the fan when the engine temperature reaches a certain point. Thanks to the fan, which must turn on based on a signal from the controller, the engine temperature will always be normal and will not exceed the permissible threshold. If the device does not work, the fan will not turn on, and the engine may overheat.

Wear of sealing gaskets

The design feature of the engine requires the presence of sealing gaskets. They make the engine structure more airtight. If the gaskets in the area of ​​the manifold or cylinder block are worn out or have lost their tightness, then when you press the gas pedal, the engine may stall.

If the gasket burns out, coolant penetrates into the engine in the area of ​​the cylinder block. In this situation, the engine continues to operate, but the number of revolutions decreases sharply. You may notice white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe.

The driver, faced with the problem of turning off the engine, finds himself in an extremely unpleasant situation. In order to eliminate this difficulty, you need to know the reason for its occurrence.
