Car repair if the check light is flashing and the VAZ-2114 engine is tripping

Unstable engine operation can lead to major repairs. Many car enthusiasts do not believe the service technicians that the engine misfire needs to be repaired urgently. If at the same time the “check” flashes, it means that a misfire has been detected and the VAZ-2114 engine is tripping for this reason. Be sure to carry out diagnostics so as not to repair the car at random.

What are the dangers of “tripleting”?

When the engine runs on three out of four cylinders, not only does the engine power decrease, there is excessive fuel consumption, the smell of gasoline comes out of the exhaust system, and the trembling and trembling of the engine simply makes it difficult to feel comfortable inside the car. However, the troubles don't end there.

Possible reasons

In most cases, when the cylinder does not work, the culprit is one of the elements of the ignition system, which is responsible for igniting the fuel, or the injectors responsible for supplying the fuel.

The ignition system must be checked in the following order:

1. Open the hood with the engine running and try to remember the timing of its operation by ear.
2. Next, in order of priority, we inspect and then disconnect the high-voltage wires from the spark plugs.

We disconnect each wire from the spark plug in turn. (Example on an 8-valve engine).

A crack in the spark plug body is the reason for replacement.

Using this table, it is very easy to determine the condition of the candles.

If there is “smoking” or heavy carbon deposits on the spark plug, this prevents its stable operation; in this case, the spark from the spark plug is very weak or absent altogether. It is not enough to clean the spark plug or replace it with a new one; you need to find the cause of this phenomenon. Check whether the spark plug is selected correctly and whether it has the correct gap.

It is best to check the spark plug for the presence of a spark on a special stand, or on your own.

Also pay attention

If a spark does not appear when checking the spark plug, or it is very weak, this may indicate the following problems:

• Replacement of high-voltage wires is required.
• Diagnostics required for the electronic control unit.
• The timing belt has moved several teeth due to insufficient tension. Read this article about how to replace it.

Remember that for the best and most thorough check and the cause of engine tripping, you can find out by doing engine diagnostics.

Meaning and interpretation of error codes

To read the faults, first consider the list with a table of UEr errors that self-diagnosis produces (the author of the video is Ivan Vasilyevich).

These codes can add up; if you see the number 6, this may indicate errors 2 and 4, or if the number 9 is displayed, errors 1 and 8.

In order to immediately read and decipher problems when diagnosing, it is advisable to download and always carry with you a printout with a description. When diagnosing using a computer, codes on engine 21124 may differ depending on the car model. To read the codes, you need to know how they are supposed to be deciphered. Errors must be reset after they have been deleted (the video was filmed and published by the KV Avtoservis channel).

Why does the check light up? The most common and common malfunctions

So, we figured out the general scheme. Now let's look at what problems lead to the check light coming on and the engine stalling. Often a p0300 error occurs, which indicates that a misfire (misfire) is occurring. There are several reasons for these omissions, and to determine them it is necessary to carry out a step-by-step diagnosis, taking into account certain individual symptoms.

You should start by checking the ignition system. The most common cause of tripping is the failure of spark plugs and armored wires. Candles can wear out their service life, break down, or become heavily contaminated. Armored wires suffer from insulation damage and breakdowns. One way or another, the result is either no spark at all, or there is a spark, but it’s weak.

If everything is in order with the spark plugs and wires, you should pay attention to the ignition module or ignition coils, which may be shorting. In this case, it is better to entrust the check to experienced specialists, since unprofessional actions lead to the fact that you can burn the switch or damage other important elements. Having dealt with the ignition system, you need to check the power system

As a rule, incorrect operation of injection nozzles or malfunctions in their operation lead to combustion of the internal combustion engine. At the same time, the check will light up or flash

Having dealt with the ignition system, it is necessary to check the power system. As a rule, incorrect operation of injection nozzles or malfunctions in their operation lead to engine tripping. At the same time, the check will light up or flash.

The best option would be to check the injectors on a special stand. Such diagnostics allows you to determine the need to clean, repair or replace injectors. At the same time, specialists check the power supply to the injectors, the condition of the injector O-rings, etc.

As for compression, a burnt-out valve often leads to an unexpected decrease in the indicator. If the valve burns out, the engine starts to run rough. In this case, tripling is constant and occurs in all modes of engine operation. Engine thrust drops significantly, and significant excess fuel consumption is observed.

Please note that in this case you cannot drive the car, as there is a high risk of damaging the catalyst and oxygen sensor (lybda probe). To confirm the diagnosis, you need to measure the compression, and to solve the problem itself, you need to remove the cylinder head, troubleshoot the head and change the valve.

I am a professional in the field of Auto Electrics and Auto Diagnostics. Work experience more than 10 years. I will identify and eliminate faults of any complexity. (Even with cars that Dealers and services cannot handle, as it were, of the highest class). We carry out all types of work on the installation of additional electrical equipment (xenon, multimedia system, special signals, etc.)

Valve clearances

Unadjusted and too large valve clearances often lead to the “four” engine stalling when cold. This problem can be identified visually. Sometimes, if the valves are adjusted incorrectly, an unheated engine may make a characteristic knocking or knocking noise. Adjustment will eliminate the problem. If you have the skills, you can do it yourself.

Motor trouble: signs

If the engine starts to stall, the check engine blinks. But the indicator does not always work, so other signs of malfunction must be taken into account. For example:

engine vibration increases. This is very noticeable at idle and cold speeds. If this phenomenon becomes permanent, then one of the cylinders has failed. But such damage occurs gradually, so not everyone detects it in time. This method is used in later stages of breakdown; spark plugs have changed color. If you remove them, you will notice that the head has become dark. This is due to carbon deposits and soot due to the lack of ignition of the mixture. This indicates obvious problems

Even with prolonged use of candles, their color changes slightly, but there is no soot; fuel consumption has increased - you need to immediately pay attention to the engine; The engine has become less powerful, which is noticeable when moving. It operates on three cylinders

Therefore, if at least one fails, the engine does not have enough torque resource; unstable exhaust sound, which is complemented by vibrations in the body; When accelerating or moving evenly, the car began to twitch.

Attention!

You need to listen to how the engine works. If it starts to stall at medium or high speeds, then the valves are probably not functioning properly. One possible reason is an increased gap between them.

If at least one of the listed signs of breakdown appears, immediate action must be taken. If the engine starts up and the check light comes on, blinks and goes out, the driver may face a more complex problem in the near future. Specialists can fix it. In this case, repairs will be labor-intensive and financially costly.

Reason one - spark plugs

I wrote in detail about how to determine faults in car systems using spark plugs here .

I recommend reading it - it turned out to be useful, judging by your reviews, thank you.

We unscrew the spark plugs one at a time and look at their insulator.

If it is covered with dense carbon deposits, then it is difficult for a spark to penetrate it. The current seeks the path with the least resistance, so the spark will not be between the electrodes, but will “go” along the insulator to the side. Its energy will not be enough to set fire to the air-fuel mixture. This cylinder will not work.

We inspect the external condition of the spark plug insulator.

If there are microcracks, then part of the current will not be converted into a discharge, but will escape through these damages. You need to look at the internal insulator, which is screwed into the cylinder head, and at the external one, onto which the armor wire cap is placed.

Large or small gap between electrodes.

Many people have heard or know that for certain engines, ignition systems and types of fuel used, spark plugs with a certain gap are required. Usually its value is indicated by the manufacturer of engines and cars.

How to check the spark without special devices on the engine

This is an old, “grandfather” method, some people are afraid of it:

• They unscrewed the spark plug;
• They put an armored wire on her;
• They leaned it with the inner body, the metal part, against the engine;
• Turn on the ignition and turn the starter.

Checking the air filter

If the spark plugs and high-voltage wires appear to be in full working order, and the engine still runs, you should check the air filter. Sometimes this element may simply become clogged, as a result of which less air will flow into the engine, which will cause the analyzed breakdown. According to experts, there is no point in cleaning the air filter from contaminants, because the cost of a new element is quite acceptable, so it is better to simply replace the filter that has become unusable with a new one.

Most often, car owners, after carrying out the above measures, manage to get the engine working and, as you can see, carrying out repair work is quite simple and easy. But if difficulties arise during the work, you can watch a training video lesson on the Internet resource, which is taught by real masters of their craft.

Despite the huge amount of criticism against the Lada Priora, this is one of the most popular cars that have come out of the AvtoVAZ assembly line in recent years. The Priora is equipped with a fairly successful engine with good dynamics, and the interior is very comfortable. And the maximum trim levels offer useful options. But at the same time, from time to time the car brings minor problems to its owners. One of the most popular malfunctions is that the Priora engine (16 valves) is tripping. The reasons for this phenomenon are quite unpleasant. And besides, the motor eventually overheats.

When the driver starts his car in the morning, the engine does not run smoothly as before, but intermittently. At this time, dull sounds are heard from the exhaust pipe. At the same time, a persistent and strong smell of unburned fuel is felt. Vibrations are constantly increasing, and this is fraught with cracks in the pillows. This is how the engine runs when cold.

I would be glad to have any thoughts on this matter, as at 60 thousand mileage some problems only appear.

The check is flashing - it means misfire. This is already understandable - it’s a troit. So diagnostics will not give anything.

How will it determine which cylinder (coil)?

Is there something to replace the voltage wires with as a test?

But he doesn't have them. Neither central. no other. The coil is weird (already answered). The problem is identifying it.

Nikoliaspb

Either go for diagnostics, or buy a working coil and change it successively until you get lucky. But this is if one is faulty. What if two are acting weird? Then either diagnostics or purchase of a bookmaker. Cheaper diagnostics. But BC will always come in handy. Saved me from going to diagnostics more than once.

But he doesn't have them. Neither central. no other.

It's time. change a couple of coils

In order not to prolong the topic, I’ll ask a question here, a problem has arisen.

While the engine is cold, it runs smoothly and pulls well. As soon as it warms up, it starts. When switching gears and adding gas, there is a failure, then a jerk, then a kick in the ass and we drive on without problems until the next shift. And when you start driving instead, the first press on the throttle starts to throttle, as soon as the revs rise above 2 thousand it works smoothly.

The fuel system has been checked, the pressure is normal, I changed the spark plugs just in case, it’s a mistake on the ignition.

Engine malfunction indicator: main causes of fire. Methods of their treatment

There are quite a few reasons why the engine diagnostic light comes on, since the signal comes from the on-board computer, which simultaneously analyzes many vehicle operating systems: ignition, automatic transmission, engine, carburetor, etc. Some faults can be diagnosed independently, but first, let's figure it out in their reasons:

1. If the engine light comes on, you need to start by checking the tightness of the fuel system, for example, the gas tank cap is not tightly tightened or it has defects. This engine warning light often comes on for this very reason.

If the “Check” engine malfunction indicator lights up while the car is moving, this may be a signal of low engine oil level. To diagnose this malfunction, it is recommended to stop and listen to the engine in order to identify the presence of extraneous knocks and noises. And also carry out a visual inspection of it - check the oil level, inspect for leaks and damage to the body. In the conditions of our country, the quality of fuel and lubricants products wants to be the best, as a result of which the engine malfunction icon may also light up. To be treated by simply replacing bad fuel. If, despite stable and smooth engine operation, the check engine light still comes on, this may be a sign of a misfire in one of the spark plugs. If you find a “piercing” spark plug or armored wire, then they must be urgently replaced, since they are the main igniters of the fuel system. With a faulty spark plug, you may feel slight jolts when accelerating, which is caused by improper spark supply. The recommended replacement interval for spark plugs is 25 - 30 thousand km

Please note that timely replacement of spark plugs not only improves engine performance, but also reduces fuel consumption. By the way, the gap between the spark plug electrode should not exceed 1.3 mm.

1. Ignition coil malfunction. It is necessary to check for the presence of a spark and resistance at the coil terminals.
2. Malfunction of the oxygen sensor (lambda probe). This sensor helps monitor your vehicle's fuel consumption, so if it malfunctions, it can have a significant impact on how much power you get and how much power your engine makes. The cause of the breakdown is oil soot, which covers the sensor with a thin layer, which reduces the performance of the gasoline mixture adjustment sensor. In addition, untimely replacement of the sensor can lead to failure of the catalyst. Treated by replacing the sensor.

1. Malfunction of the exhaust gas catalyst. The catalyst not only provides more environmentally friendly exhaust gases, but is also responsible for the dynamics of the car. The main cause of catalyst failure is untimely replacement of the oxygen sensor and spark plugs, since the conversion of carbon monoxide in the catalyst into harmless chemical elements depends on them. Otherwise, the catalyst will overheat and may burst. Treat with replacement.

1. The injectors are not working properly. As a rule, they require cleaning, but sometimes even replacement.
2. Malfunction of the mass air flow sensor.

This sensor is responsible for the leanness of the supplied mixture. A malfunction of this sensor can lead to increased fuel consumption, a decrease in engine power and disruption of the smoothness and dynamics of the vehicle. In addition, the car may have difficulty starting or idling smoothly.

The main reason for sensor failure is untimely or incorrect installation of the air filter.

1. Faulty fuel pump or fuel filter. It is necessary to measure the pressure in the ramp (its value should not be less than three atm.). Treat by cleaning the filter and mesh in the gas tank. More drastic measures are replacing the fuel filter or fuel pump.

If the above “treatment” methods did not help and the check light still lights up on the instrument panel, then you must immediately contact a car mechanic, otherwise this may result in serious repairs.

Replace the mass air flow sensor

The mass air flow sensor regulates how much air needs to be added to the gasoline mixture for optimal ignition of the fuel. The sensor constantly reports data to the car's computer about the amount of oxygen supplied. A faulty mass air flow sensor increases fuel consumption, increases CO2 levels in the exhaust gas, and reduces engine power and smoothness. Also, if the sensor is faulty, poor acceleration dynamics are observed. In cold weather, a car with a faulty sensor has difficulty starting.

What are the reasons for the failure of the mass air flow sensor: Most sensor failures occur due to improper installation of the air filter during its scheduled replacement. Also, if you do not regularly change the air filter, as required by the vehicle maintenance regulations recommended by the manufacturer, the mass air flow sensor may fail.

What you need to do: Theoretically, you can drive for a long time with a broken mass air flow sensor (several weeks or months). But you will notice that the longer you drive, the more your fuel consumption increases. Replacing the sensor in a car service is not that expensive, since the work itself does not take much time and is quite simple. The main costs are related to the cost of the sensor, which for some car models can be 11,000-14,000 rubles if it is an original sensor or up to 6,000 rubles if it is an analogue substitute. Replacing the sensor yourself is very simple. But due to the low cost of replacing the sensor, you can entrust this work to a mechanic at a car service center. Remember that you need to regularly change the air filter, observing the vehicle maintenance regulations!

When is it time to check the engine?

The engine should always run like a clock, that is, smoothly and without jerking, failures, or jumps. At idle speed it is easy to notice that the engine is unstable. When such suspicions creep in, it is better to raise the hood and listen to the beats in all cylinders. “Troit” means one or two cylinders are inactive, since there are no conditions necessary to ensure the processes in their combustion chambers. As a result, the actual power of the power unit drops noticeably and gasoline consumption increases. There is also a tendency to stall, for example at intersections, at traffic lights or while warming up. At the same time, when the engine of a VAZ 2110 fails, the reasons for such a malfunction can be different.

You can find out which cylinder has problems in one simple and long-known way. With the engine running, you need to remove the high-voltage wire from each spark plug one by one. If the cylinder was working properly before, then when it is turned off there will be a noticeable dip and a drop in speed (look at the tachometer scale). If there are no changes after removing the wire from the spark plug, we can safely assume that the problem is precisely in this cylinder - it was not working before the shutdown.

Diagnostics using special equipment

The diagnostic process using special equipment consists of checking the car using a laptop. To connect to the diagnostic connector you will need a cable with an adapter. Using this cable, we connect the computer to the connector via USB output. For testing you will also need software; the power of the computer used is not important. There are many versions of different testing programs on the Internet.

Diagnostics is performed as follows:

1. It is recommended to inspect the vehicle before starting the inspection. Check the volume of consumables - engine oil, brake fluid, coolant.
2. Find the diagnostic connector and connect your laptop to it. If you have a special scanner, then that's even better. But since finding a scanner is not so easy, and buying one is not cheap, you can use a laptop. Before testing can begin, the ignition must be activated. There is no need to start the power unit.
3. After connection, the testing utility starts. The software interface may vary. When you launch the software, graphs or a list of parameters with numbers may appear. This information will allow you to draw conclusions about the operation of the power unit.
4. The scan starts. Fault codes will appear on the laptop screen. To decrypt, use the information provided in this article. We could not describe all the codes, but we deciphered those that occur most often. Usually, when downloading a program to a computer, users are provided with a separate file describing the faults.
5. After decryption, the problem is repaired.

Troubles the Engine and Flashes the Check VAZ 2114

Car repair if the check light is flashing and the VAZ-2114 engine is shaking

Unstable operation of the motor can lead to serious repairs. Many car owners do not believe the service technicians that the engine misfire needs to be repaired urgently. If the “check” flashes during all this, it means a misfire has been detected and the VAZ-2114 engine is causing problems for this reason. Be sure to carry out diagnostics so as not to repair the car thoughtlessly.

What can cause the engine to run unstably?

In most cases, the “check” can blink and the engine may run unstably when the 4th cylinder of the injector, which has 8 valves, fails. But this formulation is incorrect, the prerequisites may be the following:

• spark plug problems;
• low compression in cylinders;
• the valves have not been adjusted for a long time (they do not fit tightly);
• the injectors are clogged or overfilled (they will have to be replaced);
• spark plug wire breakdown;
• problems with the ignition coil;
• The crankshaft sensor is not working properly;
• the electrical control unit has failed;
• the timing belt is misaligned (or it has completely fallen off);
• Air filter contamination.

All these prerequisites lead to the failure of the cylinder and the appearance of corresponding signs of malfunction.

With all this, problems can appear instantly or after a certain period

Pay close attention to the following signs:

• excessive engine vibration during operation - the operation of valves, rotating parts of the power plant and gearbox is disrupted;
• an increase in fuel consumption and a change in the nature of exhaust gases (they will contain unburned fuel);
• reduction in engine power and reduction in vehicle maneuverability.

Remember that the consequences of carelessness on the condition of the engine appear very quickly. If you continue to use a faulty car, then very soon you may need an expensive complete repair of the unit or its complete replacement.

Tips for restoring the performance of the power plant

If cleaning the engine compartment results in the engine being unable to start, the car owner should not panic and immediately call a tow truck. You can correct the situation right on the spot. It is enough to dry the places where liquid accumulates. It is recommended to adhere to the following instructions:

1. Open the hood and visually inspect the power plant and other components. Any water found must be carefully removed;
2. Remove the terminals from the battery and remove oxides;
3. Wipe the high-voltage wires along the entire length;
4. Unscrew the spark plugs and let them dry. Make sure there is no water in their planting areas;
5. If there is a distributor, it must be dismantled. After this, remove the lid and wipe everything dry;
6. Open the air filter housing and make sure there is no liquid in it;
7. Check the status of the alarm.

If the above steps did not help, then the malfunction did not arise as a result of the engine being washed, but for other reasons. In this case, it is necessary to begin troubleshooting components and parts. For example, a cracked distributor cap could perform its functions when dry, but the appearance of moisture completely rendered it inoperable.

Situations while driving when the check light comes on

Let's consider several typical situations when a driver needs to urgently respond to the Check engine being turned on:

When the engine starts, the check light comes on and goes out almost immediately. He did not highlight any serious problems in this situation. Check the gas cap. Most likely it is not screwed on properly. The indicator light came on while driving. This situation indicates an electrical circuit break. These could be loose contacts, disconnected wires, including the battery. Check all attachments. The indicator flashes when moving. Stop and without turning off the engine, listen to the noise from the engine. You need to check the oil volume. However, this is already a fairly serious call, so you need to get to the auto repair shop as soon as possible.

The check light blinks, but the engine runs great, no noise is heard, and there are no interruptions. This indicates a problem with the ignition system.

You should pay attention to the serviceability of the spark plugs and the quality of gasoline. And if in the same situation, the indicator lights up continuously. This is a sign of an incorrectly set spark plug gap.

Adjust according to the norm (no more than 1.3). A constantly glowing Check Engine indicates problems with the ignition system insulation. Have it tested at a diagnostic center. The check light comes on when you start driving and does not go out. Faulty fuel pump. Listen to the noise, if you identify characteristic sounds, dismantle it and wash off the dirt from the insides and filters. The check engine light is constantly on. This is accompanied by an increase in the temperature of the antifreeze (up to 90 degrees). Here we are talking about serious problems in the engine. It is better to stop driving and call a tow truck to a service center.

Pump

We are not talking about water, but about fuel. If it malfunctions, the car may behave strangely, and a “check” will also light up on the panel. Usually the cause is low blood pressure. The filter may be clogged. Both need to be examined. This is a coarse and fine filter. The first is a mesh near the pump, and the second is located separately from it and has its own housing.

It also happens that the pump itself burns out. This is especially true on cars with HBO. Some owners do not turn off the gas pump when switching to gas and, in addition, drive with an almost “dry” gas tank.

Elimination methods

To correctly find the problem and fix it, the motorist should have knowledge of the design of the engine and its systems, as well as have the tools. A very indispensable element is time and hands growing from the right place. So, now you can begin to analyze the processes aimed at troubleshooting the problem.

Sensors and ECU

Many car repair mechanics recommend checking the software and meters, of which there are quite a lot in modern cars, before getting into the mechanical part.

So, first you should connect to the electronic engine control unit and carry out diagnostics using special software. The vehicle owner will need a USB-car cable, called K-line or OBD II, a tablet and the appropriate software.

After connecting and identifying the automotive equipment, it is worth carrying out diagnostic operations. If a software failure is detected, it must be removed and the system restored to functionality.

Which sensors are responsible for the normal operation of the engine, and their failure can lead to tripling of the power unit:

• Idle speed regulator. If this meter fails, then the engine will run cold. In this case, the engine will not only stall, but also have difficulty starting.
• Mass air flow sensor. Quite an expensive part in any car. Often, it does not fail, but the measuring grid becomes clogged. To restore operation, you need to clean the mesh.
• Crankshaft position sensor. It measures the number of engine revolutions, thereby regulating the supply of the amount of fuel mixture.
• The coolant temperature sensor affects the operation of the system indirectly, but can affect and create artificial tripping.

Fuel and its supply components

An integral element in the formation of the air-fuel mixture is fuel. So, not enough of it leads to the formation of a lean mixture, but too much of it leads to a rich mixture, which can flood the system.

The first thing you need to start diagnosing is the pump and filter. Clogged elements can lead to insufficient fuel reaching the injectors. The gasoline pump is located under the rear sofa, where it is quite easy to reach, but the filter element is mounted on the bottom behind the right rear wheel.

An injector is a fuel element that sprays fuel. The clogging of this unit affects the amount of fuel injected into the combustion chambers. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out diagnostics quite often. This is done using a special stand. If necessary, it is worth replacing the elements.

Air

Air supply elements are quite important because they directly affect the formation of the air-fuel mixture. So, a clogged throttle valve or its jamming will cause the car to suffocate, which will lead to the effect of tripping or it will stall. To clean this unit, it is necessary to dismantle the entire throttle valve. The part is cleaned using carburetor cleaning fluid.

An important element is the air filter. If it has not been changed for a long time or it is clogged ahead of time, then a tripping effect may be created. To eliminate the malfunction, you need to replace the dirty part with a clean new element.

Sparking

The last component that is involved in the normal operation of the engine is the spark generator. This unit includes: spark plugs and high-voltage wires.

Often, due to improper operation of the injection system, the spark plugs will either burn out or be flooded with gasoline, which makes it impossible to ignite the fuel normally, since there is no space between the contacts.

To diagnose and fix the problem, you need to unscrew the elements. To do this, remove the tips of the high-voltage wires from the spark plugs. And then, using a spark plug wrench, unscrew the elements. So, by examining each candle you can determine what condition it is in.

With high-voltage wires everything is simpler. They should be removed from the engine compartment. To do this, disconnect the tips from the spark plugs, and then from the ignition coil. The elements are checked using a multimeter. On the tester you need to set a resistance “measurement” and measure each wire. The indicator should be around 5 ohm. If the deviation is too large, the wire must be replaced.

Vehicle malfunction at idle

If the VAZ 2114 power unit idles at idle, then:

In the first case, the fuel system is flushed and the injectors are cleaned. To carry out the last work, ultrasound is used. In the second case, you will need to replace the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and diagnose the ignition coils. In the latter case, the valves are replaced or readjusted.

If the power unit stalls while running hot, then auto mechanics advise carrying out similar work as described above. At idle speed with a heated engine, one cylinder may not work due to malfunctions in the fuel mixture supply system or lack of spark. In this case, it is recommended to carry out the same work as in case of failures during cold running.

Before you begin independent repair work, you need to find out what tripling of the power unit is. This concept means the operation of the engine without the participation of one of the cylinders. If such a process is accompanied by a blinking check, then the lambda probe, fuel tank filler cap, catalyst, air mass flow sensor are checked. The motor indicator icon appears without warning, so it is impossible to immediately find out the reason for the blinking check. Before repairing a VAZ, the electrical circuit and design features of the vehicle are studied.

If you lack experience and knowledge in the field of electromechanics, it is recommended to seek help from a specialized service.

Consistently unstable operation of the vehicle's power plant, with evenly repeating interruptions, when approaching the exhaust pipe, audibly perceived as the operation of a “tractor” means that the engine is “troubling.”

Priora: why the check is blinking or on - the main reasons

The diagnostic connector will help you “talk” to the electronic control unit and find out why the check light is on. Well, before you start diagnosing, check out the list of the most common Priora “errors”:

• Low Oil Level – Low oil levels ultimately lead to increased engine wear. If the oil level turns out to be normal when checked, then it needs to be replaced and the integrity of all Priora components checked. Faulty fuel pump or fuel filter. You can’t always “hear” this, but diagnostics, replacing the filter, and checking the fuel pump will “cure” the breakdown.
• An error in the operation of the exhaust gas system - this is not something to joke about - it is better to start repairs as soon as possible.
• The ignition coil does not produce a spark / the catalytic converter is unstable.
• Wiring problems - high voltage wires can give an erroneous signal to the ECU - "Check" will light up on the dashboard.
• Malfunction of sensors - unfortunately, they very often fail. The “check” lights up due to the fault of the mass air flow sensor (MAF), two oxygen sensors (after the fuel afterburner and in the exhaust manifold), the crankshaft sensor and the camshaft sensor. In frosty weather, the “Check” may light up because three cylinders are turned on first, and then, during normal startup, it does not go away. This is due to the fact that soot particles remain on the contacts - they disappear after a few days.
• False sensor activation due to high humidity
• The engine starts running when cold and the check light comes on.

The reasons for the “Check” fire on a Priora (16 valves), as we see from the list, can be serious. There is no need to panic: when the “Check” light comes on, you need to immediately reach for the diagnostic connector. It’s funny, but earlier diagnostics were carried out in the service with special software, but today any error code can be displayed on your smartphone, deciphering it using a mobile reading device.

There is another reason for engine malfunction - low-quality gasoline.

If this causes the spark plugs to flood, you will see the “check” blinking. Low-quality gasoline can be sold at any gas station; experienced car enthusiasts advise carrying a couple of candles with them. Sometimes the “Check” light comes on due to gasoline and the engine stalls. If he continues to work intermittently, things will be bad.

“Check” should light up when the ignition is turned on. A malfunction is also considered to be the case when the check light does not light up when the ignition is turned on, that is, the ECU does not send a system check report stating that “the system is ready for operation” - there is a problem in the wiring. You need to get rid of the chek icon not so as to “hide all the problems”, but so that the process of processing the fuel mixture occurs in order. Otherwise, you will have to seriously repair the car.

What does a lit Check Engine light on a Kia Rio mean?

Check Engine on Kia Rio
On Korean Kia Rio cars, a burning CHECK ENGINE light on the dashboard indicates that there is a problem with the operation of the components.

Check came out

When does the check light come on?

• with the ignition on before the power plant starts (normal);
• at the moment of starting the engine;
• in the event of a malfunction of the system that controls the exhaust of the car (in case of problems with the internal combustion engine and gearbox).

The situation is considered normal when, after starting the internal combustion engine, the check goes out and does not light up while driving. If the light on the dashboard is flashing, the catalytic converter may be damaged; driving a car in this condition (without inspection and testing at a service center) is fraught with aggravation of the problem and more serious damage. In the operating manuals for Kia Rio of the second and third generations, the manufacturer indicates that a flashing check indicates a malfunction in the working units that control the process of reducing exhaust gas toxicity. Driving such a car is allowed, but a visit to an official dealer is absolutely necessary.

What to do if the engine starts to stall

In order to determine why the engine in a VAZ 2114 is misfiring, you must follow the recommendations of professionals. First of all, you need to determine which cylinder is out of order, for this you need to:

• open the hood with the engine running;
• remember the sound and nature of the operation of the power plant;
• remove the high-voltage wires from the spark plugs one by one, if the sound and rhythm of operation changes, then continue further, as soon as it is discovered that when the spark plug is de-energized, the nature of the sound does not change, which means the faulty cylinder has been identified.

Next, you need to unscrew the spark plug and determine its condition and performance.

The next step is to determine the condition of the removed spark plug. If the electrode is intact and clean, and there is a large amount of soot on the head, then with a high degree of probability it can be determined that dust has entered the combustion chamber of the cylinder, therefore the fault must be looked for in the air supply system through the air filter.

If the entire head, along with the electrode, is covered in smoke, and it is severely burnt out, it means that a lean mixture was supplied and detonation combustion occurred with ignition advance. When the head is also completely covered with smoke and the electrode is in good condition, this means that a rich mixture was supplied and there was a delay in the ignition supply.

Assessing the condition of the spark plug gives direction in finding the true cause of cylinder failure. However, you should also check the performance of the candle itself. There is a proven method for this - “by spark”. If a spark breaks through, even if weak due to carbon deposits, then you must definitely look further. But if there is no spark at all, then you should replace the spark plug with a new one and check it. If there is a good spark, you can try to start the car and monitor the dynamics of changes.

Spark plug faults

If the car has a fairly high mileage, then trying to find the reason why the engine is shaking, you must do the following:

• change the spark plug;
• change the set of high-voltage wires; during prolonged operation under conditions of high temperatures and voltages, microcracks appear on the shell, leading to breakdowns and failure; experienced auto electricians recommend periodically changing this set for prevention;
• measure the compression in the idle cylinder; if it is broken, then perhaps the rings are stuck or the valves are burnt out;
• adjust the valves, this procedure should be carried out for prevention every 15 - 20 thousand kilometers;
• determine the performance of the ignition coil, this is a fairly common failure, the best solution is to replace the old one with a new one;
• change the air filter;
• Check that the timing belt is installed correctly.

All the specified procedures have been completed, but the engine still “troubles”. We need to move on:

1. Conduct diagnostics of the electronic control unit and replace if necessary.
2. Check the fuel supply system, down to the injectors.
3. Determine the performance of the oxygen sensor, if it is faulty or produces deteriorated indicators - repair or replace.
4. The failure of the crankshaft position sensor is determined by the computer, and an error should be generated indicating a breakdown. If this happens, replace it.

Cylinder failure

If the engine operates stable or unstable, it is recommended to check the cylinder. Its malfunction is associated with breakdown of the spark plugs, oxygen sensor and ECU. The cylinder can fail instantly or gradually. In the first case, the VAZ engine suffers, fuel consumption increases, engine power decreases, and vibration increases.

If the vehicle is not repaired in a timely manner, the engine may fail. This is explained by the fact that gasoline is constantly supplied to the broken cylinder, which is mixed with oil and goes into the crankcase. With a long process, the latter substance liquefies, losing its properties. The parts of the power unit begin to work in emergency mode, wearing out and forming chips.

If the check is flashing and the VAZ engine is shaking, then you must follow the following recommendations:

• start the power unit;
• open the hood lid;
• remove the wires from the spark plugs one by one.

The next step is to inspect the spark plugs for condition and performance. To do this, you will need to unscrew the spark plugs with a special key. If there is smoke on the head, and the electrode is clean and intact, then the motor tripping is due to dust getting into the cylinder. In this case, it is recommended to check the air supply system through the filter.

If the burn is on the entire head, and the electrode is completely burnt out, then detonation combustion has occurred and the ignition system has been emptied. If the head is covered with smoke, but the electrode is intact, then the mixture enters the ignition system late. By assessing the condition of the spark plugs, it is possible to determine the exact cause of the failure of the cylinder. To check the performance of spark plugs, it is recommended to use the “spark” method. If it breaks through, then the check continues. If there is no spark, then the spark plugs are replaced with new analogues. A good spark requires starting the VAZ and tracking the dynamics of changes.

1. Start the engine and open the hood.
2. Determine how the engine operates and remember the sound it makes.
3. Remove the wires from the spark plugs one by one. If the sound does not change, the cylinder is faulty. If the operating mode of the motor becomes different, the unit is operational.

Further diagnosis is carried out based on the condition of the spark plug from the faulty cylinder. It is turned out with a special key, which every car owner needs to have. It is impossible to change it for another. To get to the service center, you need to replace the carbonated spark plug with a new one to temporarily restore engine performance.

See:

1. If the electrode on the removed spark plug is clean, but the head is dirty, then this means dust has formed in the combustion chamber. In this case, you need to check the air accounting system and, if necessary, change the filter.
2. Burnout of the electrode and contamination of the entire spark plug with soot indicates a depletion of the fuel consistency and detonation combustion. If the electrode is intact, but there is burning on the entire spark plug, it is clear that the consistency is too rich and the ignition is delayed.

Many car enthusiasts are familiar with the method of checking spark plugs. If it is there, even if it is weak, then you need to find additional reasons for the occurrence of a motor malfunction, and if it is good, there is an option to try starting the engine again, maybe its operation has been restored. If there is no spark, replace the spark plug with a new one.
