Causes of failures during acceleration of VAZ 2114 injector 8 valves

There is a drop in VAZ speed when the driver presses the gas pedal. From a technical point of view, the malfunction occurs in any mode of operation of the iron horse. The main symptom of the problem is a decrease in the dynamic characteristics of the engine up to a complete stop. According to their structure, dips are divided into the following categories: short, deep, jerk, twitch, and a series of dips - swinging.

Lost engine thrust on VAZ 2114 (8 valves, injector) - TOP 10 reasons

Unfortunately, many owners are familiar with the situation when the traction on a VAZ 2114 (8 valves, injector) suddenly disappeared. There may be many reasons for this, but the main ones are 10. And not all of them are related to the fuel system or sensors. Sometimes there are more serious problems. From this article you can learn the main causes of this phenomenon, their signs and methods of detection.

How to find the cause of the problem

If the speed of the VAZ 2114 drops, you need to comprehensively diagnose the functioning of the injection system on your car, which can be done in your garage if you have a little experience and appropriate instructions. In this case, those “fourteeners” that were equipped from the factory with a dashboard from the German manufacturer VDO have an important advantage, since it, in comparison with the analogue from Schetmash, is equipped with a self-diagnosis mode.

To carry out this procedure, you will need to perform a few simple steps:

• After turning off the engine, you need to keep the odometer button pressed for three to five seconds;
• Having turned the engine ignition to the first position, the button must be released;
• arrows should appear on the display, which is a signal of normal operation, then the button must be pressed the first time (displaying the firmware version) and the second time - after this probable errors in the ECU will be shown;
• To reset the error message, you will need to hold the button until a zero appears on the display.

After reading the manual, you can find out what errors shown on the screen may be associated with the fact that the speed constantly drops when the gas is released on the VAZ 2114.

So, it could be one of the following situations:

• code 1 – controller error;
• code 14/15 – coolant sensor error;
• code 22/23 – throttle position sensor error;
• code 33/34 – mass air flow sensor error;
• code 42 – faulty ignition;
• code 44 – fuel mixture is lean or too rich.

The owner of a VAZ 2114 should remember a specific feature of the self-diagnosis mode on his car: if there are several errors, the computer sums their codes arithmetically, which can be misleading. This can be indicated by a logical discrepancy between the displayed code and the actual problems.

To be completely sure, you will either need to take the car to a service center and pay for its inspection, or buy a diagnostic scanner yourself, which is not that expensive. Another option is if you have the same VAZ model (fully operational), one by one, remove it from it and install potentially vulnerable sensors on your car, using the method of elimination to find the problem.

Doesn't respond to the gas pedal. VAZ 2114

to 92serega9229: did you adapt the throttle?

turn on the ignition and wait 1 minute, turn off, start

I encountered such a problem, the VAZ 2115 reacts to pressing the gas pedal after 5 seconds and when the pedal is pressed to the floor it picks up speed very slowly, it also stalls when downshifting, the engine also very quickly reaches operating temperature, and after parking, I discovered that the antifreeze had boiled.

By process of elimination we realized that the problem was not in the engine, not in the throttle sensor, not in the air flow sensor, not in the gas tank mesh, not in the fine filter. Does anyone know what this could be?

VipeRUS34:

The engine reaches operating temperature very quickly, and after parking, I discovered that the antifreeze had boiled.

The catalyst is completely clogged. (if installed) The timing marks are knocked off.

I had the same bullshit

I press on the gas, the engine is running, but it seems that the cable has broken, it turned out that the generator was giving a weak charge. We replaced the bridge and brushes on the generator and everything is OK.

Work 800r. spare parts 900r. Good luck to all.

And what does the generator have to do with the gas pedal, you’re thinking wrong, there’s no connection

Tell me, VAZ 2114 8th class 2011!

I start it up, it idles perfectly, but the gas pedal doesn’t respond at all, as if I’m not pressing it! I’ll turn it off and start it back to normal, but not for long then again! She can hold it at 2000 rpm herself, while still not obeying the gas pedal!

The check light is on, I took it for diagnostics, they said the throttle valve, changed it, nothing changed!

to Auto(grandfather):

Hello, I have the same problem: the rpm hangs at 2000, the pedal does not respond and the check light is on. Auto VAZ 2114 2012 electric pedal, according to many recommendations, a lot has already been replaced: air filter, throttle body, air flow sensor, spark plugs, armored wires, fuel filter, generator damper pulley (the rubber was cracked) with an iron one from crankshaft position sensors, but the problem does not change nothing and keeps appearing, what can you tell me?

Why does the VAZ 2110 jerk when driving?

The phenomenon, which car enthusiasts call jerking, occurs due to a sudden change in the crankshaft speed when the gas pedal is in a stable pressed position. If suddenly a VAZ 2110 jerks while driving, this causes anxiety and concern to the car owner.

We need to do something urgently, but first we need to understand the reason. We will talk about some features of jerks and signals that help you understand why they occur.

During the start

Most often, when starting from a standstill, the highest stage of the jerk is observed - failure, that is, a very significant delay in the engine’s response to the pressed gas pedal. It happens that the engine stalls. It’s especially unpleasant when you’re standing, for example, in front of a traffic light, and someone behind you is already honking, and you’re frantically starting the car again.

A jerk when starting off occurs when the ECU (electronic control unit) gives a signal to start opening the throttle valve, that is, when transitioning from the XX mode to the driving mode.

Throttle position sensor

IN THIS WAY, THE QUANTITY OF FUEL SUPPLY THROUGH THE INJECTORS SHOULD INCREASE, WHICH DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN THE PRESSURE IS INSUFFICIENT IN THE FUEL LINE.

Potential culprits for the car moving jerkily when starting off:

1. fuel pump , which is about to completely fail. This is evidenced by its peculiar periodic “howling” or an increase in its noise. The pump on an injection engine is listened to even before the engine itself is started - it is turned on initially from the battery, starting to pump fuel before turning on the starter. It is located inside the gas tank, so it becomes almost inaudible once the engine is running. In carburetor cars, the fuel pump is under the hood, you can hear it even when the engine is running;
2. The fuel pump mesh is clogged with foreign particles that enter the gas tank along with low-quality gasoline at the gas station, or are formed in the tank itself due to condensation. This is why the gas tank should be flushed periodically;
3. fuel filter , which is located under the hood. It also needs to be changed periodically;
4. pressure regulator To replace it, you will need to remove and disassemble the fuel pump.

Features of failures

What all pedal failures have in common is that when you press the pedal, the engine does not respond in a timely manner, and therefore does not gain momentum. Such failures can appear in different situations and the behavior of the machine can also be different.

So, we can highlight:

1. Short dips while driving (no more than a couple of seconds) followed by a quick response from the engine.
2. Dips during acceleration.
3. Dips at idle speed.
4. Prolonged failures, as a result of which the car stalls.
5. Jerking, characterized by a series of alternating short dips and subsequent jerks.

There are not many reasons for this phenomenon, so finding and eliminating them will not be difficult for an experienced driver.

In 99% of cases, failures can be caused by one of the following reasons:

• clogged injectors;
• damage to the fuel system;
• injector damage;
• wear of temperature sensors;
• errors in the ECU;
• failure of spark plugs.

If you notice even minor changes in the “behavior” of the engine, you should end the trip as quickly as possible and visit a car service center or perform independent diagnostics and repairs. Continuing to drive a car with dips is not only harmful to the car itself, but also extremely dangerous.

What are failures?

Solution:

Failure when pressing the gas pedal lies in the improper reaction of the engine to this. Thus, when trying to accelerate, the engine does not gain the required speed .

This leads to a drop in speed. It manifests itself with gradual and sudden acceleration. Dips appear when you press the gas pedal in different ways:

1. Short-term failures. There is no response to pressing for a couple of seconds.
2. Lingering failures. The engine loses speed for 4 to 10 seconds, and it is possible that the car will stall.
3. Jerks. Laps up to 1 or 2 seconds. The car seems to be “twitching”.
4. A series of jerks. The engine either increases speed or slows down, although the pedal is in the same position.
5. The car jerks. Consists of a series of protracted failures.

Dips during acceleration

Most often, in the VAZ 2114 car, failures when pressing the gas injector occur during acceleration.

If you are faced with a similar situation, then the search for its problem should be carried out in the following sequence:

1. If the spark plugs are oxidized or covered with soot, they should be cleaned with a cloth with kerosene or fine sandpaper (or replaced if they cannot be restored). In addition, the composition of the fuel mixture should be adjusted, since very often the cause of soot on the spark plugs is precisely its incorrect composition.

1. Check the condition of the armored wires (to do this, their insulation should be measured using a megohmmeter and, if necessary, replaced with new ones).
2. Check the condition of the throttle valve. If it is contaminated with plaque, it should be thoroughly cleaned (even a slight layer of plaque greatly affects the proper operation of the damper).
3. Check the condition of the air filter, and in case of severe contamination or damage, replace it with a new one (it is worth remembering that the filter directly affects the correct composition of the combustible mixture, and therefore it should be checked periodically even during normal engine operation).
4. If, after completing the above steps, the cause could not be found, then you should dismantle the fuel pump and check its functionality. At the same time, the fuel filter should be checked and, if necessary, replaced.
5. Check the computer for errors (this can be done using a diagnostic computer. If it is not available, you will have to contact a car repair shop).
6. Conduct diagnostics of the injectors and, if necessary, clean them (clogged injectors are the most rare cause of failures, but at the same time they are quite difficult to do on your own. If you cannot clean them yourself, you will have to contact a car service).

If on your VAZ 2114 failures occur when you press the gas injector while driving, then using the above plan you can easily find the causes of this phenomenon and be able to eliminate it.

Air leak

If the idle speed of a VAZ 2114 drops, then you should look at the engine intake system. Perhaps some pipe or intake manifold has burst, because of this, excess air enters the engine outside the MAF sensor, as a result of which the mixture in the engine becomes leaner.

To diagnose the problem, take a can of carburetor cleaner or “quick start” and spray it on the pipes and the manifold itself in hard-to-reach places and connections. If you notice that engine performance temporarily improves and is restored, then the problem area has been found.

Dips at idle

Sometimes it happens that when you press the gas pedal, a drop in the speed of the VAZ 2114 occurs at idle (and most often when starting off). The reasons for this phenomenon are quite similar to the reasons for failures in movement.

Let's consider a plan for finding and eliminating them:

1. Check the condition of the spark plugs and the gap size. Clean them (how to do this was discussed above) or replace them.
2. Check the condition of high-voltage wires.

1. Replace the fuel filter (and if the replacement does not help, check the operation of the gasoline pump).
2. Check the functionality of the temperature control sensor and idle speed sensor. If they turn out to be faulty, replace them (there is no point in trying to repair the sensors, since they are not repairable).
3. Check the electronic unit using a diagnostic adapter and delete errors if any.

1. Completely replace the fuel with gasoline from another gas station (very often low-quality fuel causes dips and jerking at idle).
2. Carry out diagnostics of the injector.
3. Check the condition of the injectors and clean them if necessary.

Lack of maintenance provokes multiple malfunctions

Visual diagnostics are carried out as follows. To begin with, the engine idles for 5-7 minutes. After this, the driver removes the carburetor cover, under which the actual fuel level in the chamber is visible. If it is not enough, then immediately add it to the minimum required level.

If a problem cannot be found in the float chamber, then you need to look for it in the air or fuel jets.

Less commonly, the reason lies in emulsion wells.

To eliminate the problem, remove the carburetor cover and do the following:

• remove the fuel nozzle;
• remove the air jet;
• clean both parts;
• rinse and be sure to blow with compressed air;
• rinse and clean the emulsion well.

Be sure to check the tightness of the jets. There shouldn't be even the slightest gap. Otherwise, the incoming fuel is mixed with oxygen and then oxidized. As a result, within 2-3 months the spark plugs fail, causing a number of other breakdowns. The technical inspection process is completed by checking the opening of the transition systems for blockages.

Here it is enough to use the power of the eyes. As soot and deposits accumulate, the natural clearance decreases. As a result, the engine does not receive the required amount of fuel. The problem is eliminated by cleaning and blowing with compressed air.

Sometimes motorists are faced with such an infrequent, but extremely unpleasant phenomenon as failures when pressing the gas pedal on the injector of a VAZ 2114. In short, such failures are the lack of a quick response from the car engine to pressing the gas pedal. We will talk about why they can arise and how to eliminate them on your own in today’s article.

How to Avoid Failures

Having talked about how to eliminate gas pedal failures that occur on a car, it is worth talking about how to completely avoid their occurrence. So, the most common cause of their occurrence is wear of the spark plugs. Therefore, you should always check their condition, prevent clogging and oxidation, and, if necessary, replace them.

It is worth remembering that it is highly recommended to replace spark plugs as a “set”, even if only one of them is seriously damaged.

In addition to spark plugs, high-voltage wires should also be periodically monitored (despite the fact that they have a long service life, core breaks and breakdowns of protection are far from uncommon).

Another very common cause is clogged filters, and especially the air filter. This element is a direct participant in the chain of formation of the working mixture, and that is why its contamination (or even damage) can immediately affect the operation of the engine.

The last thing you should pay attention to in order to avoid unpleasant gas failures is the quality of the fuel. If you notice that at the nearest gas station it has dropped significantly (and the car reacts to this), then you should not continue to use it - it is better to try refueling at a pump of another company (or several companies). In this way, you can find the highest quality gas station and ensure reliable operation of your car’s engine.

Troubleshooting complex problems

The appearance of excess air in the carburetor provokes many problems. The main one is a decrease in the saturation of the fuel mixture due to reaction with oxygen. The end result is that the throttle valve does not open fully, causing the engine to stall. Troubleshooting begins with a visual inspection of the hoses and tubes leading directly to the carburetor:

Statistics show that excess air is sucked in due to wear or loose fitting of the tubes. Less often, it is necessary to blame the seat of the solenoid valve. This causes wear on the seal ring. It is much worse if the problem is caused by depressurization of the ignition timing regulator. If no problems are found at this stage, attention switches to the float chamber.

Messages: 662 Registered: July 10, 2006, 00:00 Experience: since 1986 (1.2 million km) :

Where to begin?

When you first have problems accelerating a car, you should start checking the car with the fuel system. The most common breakdown of a car's fuel system is the fuel pump, and it makes no difference whether it is mechanical or electrical. Both the first and the second are equally likely to fail at the most inopportune moment.

Difficulties with the pump may appear after a while. The car can slowly reduce its speed characteristics, and when this process reaches a noticeable state, you will understand why the engine does not gain speed.

The problem is the fuel pump, which, although it has not yet failed, is no longer actively supplying fuel to the engine. This inevitably leads to fuel starvation of the car, and, as a result, loss of power.

1. You should start checking the ignition with the timing marks. It is the correctness of their installation that determines how timely fuel injection and spark supply will be.
2. If the marks are in order, you should pay attention to the numerous sensors, which are plenty for an injection engine. You can check the crankshaft position sensors, camshaft position sensors and others yourself or entrust the car to a specialist.
3. If everything is fine here, it’s worth paying attention to when the timing belt or chain was changed. The reason why your VAZ does not gain speed may be due to incorrect installation of the belt. Here it is enough to make a mistake by one tooth, and you can safely forget about normal acceleration of the car.

The 406 engine may not gain speed due to the fault of the injector, and the problem will be divided into two:

• the car won't start at all;
• the car does not work properly (this includes problems with speed, both while driving and idling, as well as all kinds of jerking of the car).

In the first case, the “nine” is often helped by warming up the battery or even recharging it. As you might guess, this situation occurs in winter during frosts. The reason lies in the decrease in battery capacity, which may simply not be enough to start the engine.

The second way to revive a frozen car is to supply hot air through a hair dryer. This “folk” method also helps many.

And finally, the third reason why a car may not start is faulty spark plugs.

Methods for diagnosing the problem

For the most accurate diagnosis, you will need to use a diagnostic tester, a fuel rail pressure gauge, a vacuum gauge and a spark gap.

1. The first thing to check is whether the engine is controlled by the ECU. To do this, simply turn on the ignition and listen to whether the fuel pump makes noise.
2. Then we look at the fuel line pressure. Data at the level of 2.5 - 3.0 kg/cubic centimeter are considered the norm.
3. If these parameters are normal, you can check the BITSTOP parameter using the diagnostic tools while cranking the crankshaft. The BITSTOP parameter must be set to "no". This indicates that the ECU receives a command to start forming a spark on the spark plugs and is fully operational.
4. By connecting a high-voltage spark gap, you can check whether there is a spark at all, and perhaps the cause is poor-quality spark plugs.

Also find out how much oil to fill in the engine and about flushing the engine before changing the oil.

Air supply

The air supply can also cause poor vehicle traction. If more air enters than it should, the composition of the fuel mixture will be disrupted. Those. there will be more air and less fuel, which will lead to a drop in thrust.

The simplest solution is to replace the air filter, which is recommended to be done every six months.

If the engine speed increases, but the speed does not gain, the reasons may be:

• low pressure in the fuel system (as mentioned earlier);
• problems in the operation of the mass air flow sensor;
• air filter clogged;
• coked nozzle.

It is more difficult to understand the operation of the mass flow sensor, since each car must have its own parameters, and you will still need the appropriate equipment. Even a deviation from the norm of 3 kg/hour can cause significant “changes” in engine operation, and not for the better. Using the 406 engine as an example, we can say that the norm is 13 - 15 kg/hour. At the same time, reducing the flow to 11 kg/hour will lead to such a problem that the engine does not gain speed or does so slowly, while increasing this figure to 19 kg/hour will significantly increase fuel consumption, and this is also unpleasant.

Coking of injectors is most often the result of low-quality fuel, since problems with the “electrical” part arise extremely rarely. To check, they often turn off the injectors one by one, while monitoring the drop in engine power. The norm is approximately 110 revolutions.

VAZ 2114 check light comes on, traction disappears

In the morning I left for work, everything was ok, after work I came down from the bridge, green, first and nothing @((, as if I was pulling 8 Kirov residents, there was no traction, gas to the floor and empty, somehow I got to the house and stood in the middle of the street ((, first since it’s such crap, I unscrew the spark plugs, white coating, trouble, sadness, poor mixture ((too much air, not enough gas ((dmrv? fuel pump? injectors? wires? spark plugs, sensors? even moreover, it has already started to wobble at idle speed 600-700-800, ON first and it stalls as and when you press the clutch at an intersection (I checked the fuel pump and filter, traction appeared but the sausage did not go away, the check appeared and disappeared, it did not blink, but it disappeared, I cleaned the throttle sensors, pulled the chip off the throttle sensor and stopped stalling) but the speeds were the same and remained. I bought the DPZ and DHX, changed it right at the store, revved it up to 3000 thousand, turned it off and turned the key back to start.

everything is ok, the watch))) The check light came on ((I waved the old high-voltage wires, threw off the terminal, smoked a lot, thought a lot, put it on, started it and everything was back to normal, happy, went home to wash, fix the passenger handle, change the light bulbs in the PTF, such a weekend For the money, dpdz250, dxx740, fuel pump 1200, rubber filter, mesh 250)) Smooth roads and full tanks to everyone!

A problem has arisen with the car, help me figure it out, when accelerating after 3000 rpm, the “Check engine” lights up and the traction disappears ((((and if you don’t turn it even goes out over time. The engine trembles when this problem happens, after restarting the engine it’s normal, but again only up to 3 thousand P/s for diagnostics I need to know myself until the opportunity arises

As a rule, during the long-term operation of a vehicle, almost every driver sooner or later notices that the engine does not pull well. In other words, the power unit has difficulty coping with the loads, there is a loss of power, the unit needs to be cranked up to high speeds to maintain the usual pace, the car accelerates worse from a standstill, picks up speed slowly, etc.

At the same time, in many cases the engine runs smoothly, does not tremble, there are no increased vibrations, extraneous sounds, knocking or noise during operation of the internal combustion engine. Let us note right away that there is a fairly wide list of possible reasons why a warm engine does not run, and there is a loss of engine power when cold and/or when hot.

In this article we will talk about why the engine does not pull, and also consider the most common malfunctions that manifest themselves in the form of loss of traction of the power unit.

Read in this article

Sensors

First of all, the fault may lie with the idle speed sensor. This monitoring device is connected to the control system and allows you to ensure stable operation of the engine of a machine standing still.

If it is supplying the data incorrectly, the computer will most likely turn off the engine during start-up, either cold or hot, immediately after the driver takes his foot off the gas. Its breakdown, in particular, is indicated by an abrupt change in indicators. The malfunction in this situation can be eliminated by cleaning the sensor that has become unusable or replacing it with a working one.

In reality, this device is the cause of a dozen malfunctions. However, in most cases, washing is enough to bring it back to life. It is important to understand that it is necessary to clean the DXH itself. Particular attention should be paid to the needle present in it and the hole into which it enters.

To make sure the DX is working, you will need:

• disconnect the negative terminal of the battery;
• remove the sensor;
• clean its connectors;
• connect the battery;
• start the engine.

If everything is in order with the DXX, the needle will begin to move back and forth.

In general, this device controls the air supply to the power unit, without which it simply cannot operate at idle. In fact, it is one of the key elements of the car’s fuel system and also affects the level of gasoline injection.

Another sensor that can lead to the same result if it malfunctions or fails. We are talking about a device that controls air flow. It is also connected to the ECU, but its functions are much broader than the previous one.

If any of the above-mentioned control devices breaks down, the check (a light prompting you to check the engine) always lights up.

If an electronic pedal (popularly called e-gas) is installed, then a breakdown associated with it will be signaled by codes starting with P21:

• 22;
• 23;
• 27;
• 28;

In most cases, a complete replacement of the unit is required. It is not difficult to do - it only requires a key of 10. And finally, low-quality fuel often causes the engine to stall.

The engine does not pull: the main reasons for the decrease in engine power

So, if no other symptoms other than loss of traction are detected, then you immediately need to pay attention to the quality of the fuel, the proper functioning of the ignition and power systems.

• As practice shows, more than half of the cases of reduced efficiency from internal combustion engines are associated with fuel. The engine does not turn on due to the fact that the tank may be filled with low-quality or unsuitable fuel for this type of engine (for example, 92-grade gasoline instead of 95-grade gasoline).

Typically, such manipulations are necessary when, parallel to the loss of traction, unstable operation of the internal combustion engine is noted, the speed jumps or floats at idle and under load, the engine does not start easily, the “check” light is on the panel, etc.

Also, owners of gasoline engines can independently determine the quality of gasoline by the spark plugs and their appearance. To check the spark plugs you need to unscrew them from the engine. A disruption in the combustion process of the fuel-air mixture in the cylinders, as well as the presence of impurities in the fuel, can be identified by soot on the spark plugs and its color.

For example, if the fuel contains a lot of third-party metal-containing additives and additives, then the skirt and electrodes may become covered with reddish soot (brick-colored). Black soot will indicate that the fuel is not burning properly, etc. In any case, malfunctions in the combustion process of the working mixture lead to the fact that the engine stops pulling.

• The next step in diagnosis is checking the spark plugs. A decrease in the efficiency of these elements is also accompanied by a decrease in the power of the power unit.

This is especially noticeable during sharp accelerations, and when the car is already moving at high speed. In other words, the motor has no “reserve” left for further acceleration.

The candles may be dirty, and it is also possible that their life has come to an end. To fix this problem, you can clean the spark plugs or immediately replace the entire set with a new one.

• If everything is in order with the spark plugs, then you need to check the condition of the fuel and air filters. In the first case, insufficient throughput can lead to the fact that the required amount of fuel is not supplied to the cylinders to prepare the so-called “power” mixture.

As a result, the engine loses power, that is, it does not pull under load. In such a situation, it is enough to replace the specified filter element. As for the air filter, the problem is similar to the fuel filter, but in this case there is a lack of air in the fuel-air mixture.

This leads to the fact that fuel without a sufficient amount of oxygen burns incompletely. In such conditions, engine power naturally drops, carbon deposits form in the combustion chamber, spark plugs become increasingly dirty, etc. To solve the problem, the engine air filter also needs to be replaced.

Other reasons

Sometimes the engine may shut down due to a stuck idle air valve. Solving this problem is quite simple - you only need to adjust the throttle cable. True, the car’s performance will not be restored for a long time. But there will be enough time to get to the car service center.

If the car does not start when cold, then it is worth looking for a fault in the battery. Perhaps one of the terminals is not holding well. It is also worth resetting the ECU settings by turning off the power. After this, the on-board computer will reboot. This measure will be enough for several trips - then the system will accumulate enough information to start working normally, and the engine will most likely stall again.

Finally, if none of the above helps, you will need to pay attention to the injectors. Improper operation of this element is caused by:

• wear;
• clogging.

For cleaning, you should use a special liquid - WD-40.

Malfunctions of the power supply system, ignition and impaired mixture formation

While problems with spark plugs and filters can be identified on the road, more serious problems associated with the power and ignition system are much more difficult to diagnose and fix on site. In cases where the engine does not pick up speed, and jerks and dips are noted when pressing the gas pedal, it is necessary to check and adjust the carburetor or injector.

Let's focus on the more common electronic injection. The list of main malfunctions of modern injection internal combustion engines includes:

• malfunctions, decreased performance or contamination of the fuel pump mesh filter;
• malfunction of injection nozzles;
• problems with ECM or ECU sensors;
• ignition system malfunctions;
• air leaks and leaking fuel lines;

Often, on many cars, problems are associated with the fuel pump, which is located in the gas tank, as well as with the specified regulator. To measure fuel pressure, a pressure gauge is connected to the rail; the obtained values ​​are compared with those recommended for a particular engine. If the pressure is below normal, then the culprit may be either the fuel pump or the pressure regulator.

The regulator's task is to discharge excess fuel into the return line at a time when the pressure is higher than normal. If the settings are incorrect or the regulator itself is leaking or faulty, then the fuel will be discharged into the return line ahead of time. To check this, air is pumped in with a compressor or pump, and the pressure in the rail increases. If the regulator operates earlier than the recommended pressure, the element must be adjusted or replaced.

If the gas pump does not pump gasoline or the required pressure is not created, it is necessary to remove the device from the tank, clean or replace the mesh on the pump. If the situation does not change, then the pump is faulty and needs to be repaired/replaced.

As for injection nozzles, these elements must not only open and close in a timely manner, but also supply fuel to the cylinders in full. The shape of the spray pattern is also important. For this reason, the injectors must be checked and cleaned regularly to ensure that the fuel is sprayed evenly.

• ECM sensors (mass air flow sensor, air pressure sensor, etc.) send a signal to the ECU, thanks to which the controller takes into account how much air the engine consumes. Based on these data, the unit determines how much fuel needs to be supplied through the injectors to form the required fuel-air mixture, taking into account a particular operating mode of the internal combustion engine.

If the sensors do not work correctly, the ECU may supply the wrong amount of fuel. As a result, the engine does not pull and the car does not drive as it should. You can use a multimeter to check the sensors, but the best way is to conduct computer diagnostics of the engine.

Development of technical malfunction and repair

The above signs are more than enough to carry out an urgent technical inspection of the car. If everything is done according to the instructions and quickly, then the duration and cost of the repair will not go beyond reasonable limits. Otherwise, the engine speed continues to decrease. The next stage will be a sharp dip that occurs when you press the gas pedal, even at idle.

Regardless of the speed of the vehicle, the speed decreases and a sudden stop is possible. In this case, the acceleration pump or insufficient fuel in the carburetor float chamber must be blamed. This indicates serious wear of individual elements, so it is necessary to immediately begin to eliminate the failure that has arisen.

First, you should inspect the strainer responsible for cleaning the fuel. It is located at the inlet of the carburetor. As it performs its functional duties, it accumulates many types of pollutants. The technical clearance, responsible for supplying fuel to the system, narrows due to accumulated contamination. The result of the current situation is an increase in fuel starvation of the 2114 system.

In addition to low-quality fuel, the process of filter contamination is accelerated by corrosion in the fuel tank and fuel lines. Problems can be resolved by cleaning with a soft-bristled toothbrush. It would be a good idea to blow out the inside of the filter with a jet of compressed air. After this, you need to visually inspect the hole located under the filter. The repair work will be completed by installing the filter in its rightful place.

You will have to tinker more if you find a dirt plug inside the filter. First, you should immediately check the fuel pump and fuel intake filter. Perhaps the problem lies in the corrosion process in the gas tank. It is recommended to walk through the fuel line system that is becoming clogged. Only after eliminating the root cause can you begin to clean the filter.

Other reasons for reduced engine performance

The condition of the exhaust system also greatly influences engine power. The fact is that to protect the environment from harmful emissions during operation of the internal combustion engine, catalytic converters are installed in the exhaust.

As a rule, official services offer to replace a worn-out element, but the price of the spare part is very high. For this reason, on many cars in the CIS, the catalyst is simply knocked out, and the control unit is “deceived” by software or other available methods.

Also, when engine power decreases, it is necessary to separately check the installation of the timing belt or chain according to the marks in order to eliminate the possibility of valve timing failure. Sometimes there are situations when the belt can jump one tooth, the chain stretches, etc.

In this case, the synchronous operation of the valve mechanism in relation to the operating cycles of the internal combustion engine may be disrupted. This leads to various failures, unstable operation of the unit and reduced power.

Let us also add that engine wear and certain malfunctions also affect engine power. As a rule, worn-out internal combustion engines with mileage usually lose about 10% of their declared power.

One way or another, any leaks in the combustion chamber will lead to expanding gases breaking out of the cylinder during fuel combustion. This means that the pressure of these gases on the piston will decrease, and the internal combustion engine itself will draw poorly and operate unstably.

Finally, we note that the reason that the car has lost dynamics may not be the engine, but the transmission. In other words, the power unit develops enough power, but it is not fully transmitted to the wheels.

If, when coasting, it is noticeable that the car immediately begins to slow down, then the problem is obvious, the wheels are slightly blocked. If no problems with the brakes are identified, then automatic transmission diagnostics are necessary. It is better to entrust this procedure to experienced specialists by delivering the car to a service center.

Physical aspect of occurrence

It is a mistake to think that the problem is sudden. It all starts with short sharp decreases in engine power, lasting no more than 3 seconds. If the driver does not take any response measures, the duration of the dips increases to 10 seconds. The result of the development of a technical malfunction is a series of jerks or failures. After this, the car will have to be left at the service station for a long time.

Regardless of the age of the vehicle, the causes of failure are the following: clogging of the fuel system due to the use of low-quality fuel or lubricants, breakdown of the ignition system, engine malfunction, breakdown of the carburetor or its individual part.

From a technical point of view, a decrease in the dynamic characteristics of the engine due to failure occurs when the fuel mixture is too or insufficiently enriched. As soon as it appears in the engine cylinders at the moment you press the gas pedal, the heart of the car experiences increased loads. The following signs will tell the driver about this:

1. Minimum dip - duration ranges from 1 to 2 seconds. It occurs even when you gently press the gas pedal or when you start moving. In the future, acceleration and maintaining high speeds occurs without problems. The reason lies in the accelerator pump of the carburetor or in the first chamber of the transition system.
2. A series of slight jerks - the vehicle jerks several times when the gas pedal is pressed, with or without a subsequent stop. Most often the problem occurs at low and medium speeds. As soon as the driver presses the gas pedal hard, the problem disappears. This can be caused by oxygen leakage from the carburetor, a critical decrease in the fuel level in the float chamber, or clogged emulsion channels or fuel nozzle.
3. A series of dips, or rocking, is when the driver notices unstable engine operation under increased and decreased loads. A malfunction occurs due to incomplete opening of the throttle valve in chamber II, a failure of the fuel supply cycle to the carburetor, clogging of the fuel channels or nozzle, or less often due to the ingestion of air by the carburetor.

What's the result?

As you can see, if the engine is running and the check mark is flashing, the cause should be determined as soon as possible. Timely contacting service or repairs will avoid subsequent problems with the catalyst and lambda.

Please remember that triplets and misfires do not always indicate a serious problem. In some cases, replacing the spark plugs or BB cables may be sufficient, while in others the engine still requires repair.

In this case, the spark on the spark plugs will be normal, the injectors will also supply fuel, the compression test will not reveal any deviations from the norm, but in this case the “check” will continue to blink or blink.

What do drivers recommend?

In addition to the basic rules for operating a car, while driving and repairing their car, each driver gains additional knowledge and experience. Such nuances are learned as a result of mistakes made by the owner of the vehicle. Drivers share their experiences with each other, so you should also listen to the recommendations of car enthusiasts.

All drivers claim that it is prohibited to disconnect the terminals from the battery, especially from the injectors. A low charge level has a bad effect on starting the engine. You should not disconnect the mass for a long time in modern cars. The electrical unit that controls the engine may delete all data due to a lack of power.

It is not recommended to use the charging-starting device frequently, since it produces too strong current fluctuations, which sometimes leads to the unit burning out.

From the above, it becomes clear that there are many reasons why a car may not start. Even an experienced car mechanic is unable to determine the breakdown immediately. Therefore, if you feel that you cannot cope on your own, feel free to contact a service station. If you still decide to figure it out on your own, then inspect every centimeter of your car. Step by step you will discover the true source of the problem.

The operation of the injection system has always been a weak point of VAZ cars. Low-quality gasoline, counterfeit consumables, inept repairs done by yourself or unprofessional service - the car stalls for any of these reasons.

On older cars of the Samara-1 generation, a similar problem was solved by adjusting the carburetor and ignition. Less commonly, replacing the fuel pump. The electronic injector of the VAZ 2114 is many times more reliable than a carburetor; it starts and works in any weather without causing any trouble.

But if the injection machine still stalls, there can be many reasons for this.

Check the fuel filler cap

Many drivers, in most cases, when the “check engine” indication appears, will think about serious problems in the car’s engine, but will not even think about checking the tightness of the fuel system, which may be compromised due to a defect or an insufficiently tightened fuel tank cap. This is a very common reason for the appearance of the “Check” engine icon.

Reason for the error: Leakage of the fuel system due to the passage of air through the filler cap of the fuel tank will increase the vehicle's fuel consumption, to which the vehicle's diagnostic system will generate an engine error by turning on the "Check engine" indication on the vehicle's instrument panel.

What needs to be done: If, when the “Check” indication appears, your car has not lost power, and there are no audible signs of engine damage (engine knocking, humming, creaking, etc.), then first check the gas tank for leaks. Your gas cap may be cracked or not tightened enough. If the cap was not tightened enough, then after tightening it all the way, continue driving the car for a while to see if the engine error disappears. To prevent a check engine light from appearing for this reason, check your fuel filler cap regularly. Remember that the cover must be replaced with a new one periodically!

VAZ injection engines

In injection engines VAZ-2110, 2112, 2114, 2115, both 8-valve and with a timing belt with 16 valves, it is more difficult to identify the cause of the decrease in power due to the more complex design of the main systems.

Supply system

Any injector consists of a mechanical executive part and an electronic control part, and problems can arise in both of them, which will lead to a drop in power.

Let's look at the mechanical part first. Here, cravings can be influenced by:

• Severely clogged mesh filter on the fuel pump;
• Decrease in fuel pump performance due to wear;
• The fine filter is dirty;
• Malfunction of the fuel rail pressure regulator;
• Clogged injectors;
• Fuel filter dirty;
• Air leak in the manifold.

In general, almost every element of the injector executive part can be the culprit for a decrease in dynamics.

The situation is approximately the same in the electronic component.

The operation of the engine with the injector is controlled by an electronic unit, which constantly monitors the parameters through sensors installed on different systems.

The number of these tracking elements is considerable and the breakdown of any of them leads to the fact that the ECU incorrectly evaluates the indicators on the basis of which it controls the executive part.

Thus, the lambda probe, DPKV, mass air flow sensor, DPZ, phase sensors, detonation sensors and coolant temperature sensors in the event of a breakdown lead to a decrease in power, so you will have to check all of them in search of the cause.

Ignition and exhaust system

As for the ignition system of injection engines VAZ-2110, 2112 and others, the reasons may be:

• Candles;
• High voltage wires;
• Ignition module.

Another possible cause could be a misalignment of the generator drive pulley (with the ring gear).

Because of this, the DPKV readings are disrupted, as a result the operation of the ignition system is disrupted, which leads to a drop in traction.

In injection engines, the exhaust gas removal system more often creates this problem than in a carburetor car, and all due to the use of a catalyst.

The element's honeycombs have a small cross-section, so they become clogged quite quickly, which leads to exhaust gases “crushing” the engine.

Other reasons and their solutions

Another reason may be the wedge of the XX valve. This problem can be temporarily solved by simply tightening the throttle cable a little. Then see what happens. The notorious XX sensor can also be involved here. It also contains more than a dozen problems, but most of them can be solved by simple washing.

It is the sensor that is washed

, or to be more precise, its components in the form of a needle and its hole where it enters. Checking its functionality is quite simple, you need to remove the sensor itself, activate the connector, then disconnect the battery for a short period of time, then connect it again and turn on the ignition, you will see how the needle begins to make forward-return movements.

Another reason could be the battery terminal. In order for everything to be in order, it needs to be reset, so that it can incorrectly transfer data to the engine control settings.

This procedure resets all system settings, and it will again learn to gain and maintain the correct idle speed, and only 3-5 trips may be enough for this. This does not always happen, but still, such a process is called “self-learning”.

It is also possible, and even necessary, to check the injectors; it is possible that the problem lies in their contamination or even technical wear, and, as a result, in their malfunction. Read the article “How to clean injectors.”

Washing everything and everyone should be done exclusively with WD-40 washing liquid.

Long-term use of the vehicle

If a check mark starts flashing on a VAZ car with high mileage, then the reasons for tripling the power unit are as follows:

If the above procedures have been completed and the powertrain is still running, we recommend that you:

1. Carry out ECU diagnostics. If necessary, replace it with a new disk.
2. Check the injectors and the entire fuel system.
3. Check the functionality of the oxygen sensor. If the device is faulty or damaged, repair work is carried out.
4. The crankshaft position sensor fails - in this case, the ECU generates an error indicating this malfunction.

What are the causes of car malfunctions?

If your car starts to have such a problem that it stalls as soon as it starts, then it’s time to take the car in for a technical inspection. In fact, there may be several reasons, and before identifying the true one, you will have to go through almost half of your car. Let's look at what you should pay attention to first.

1. The car alarm system is not working properly. Modern alarm systems that are connected to the central control unit have many additional gadgets that can negatively affect engine starting. Sometimes even electronics can malfunction and not work correctly. The auto program does not identify the start and stops the supply of electricity to the injectors, which, accordingly, deprives the spark (no ignition).
2. The idle speed control is inoperative. There can be two reasons for its incapacity - either it is too clogged, or it is not working and will need to be replaced. Poor quality fuel causes blockage and valve failure. Blockages clog the channels through which car mixtures along with oxygen must flow to the parts, this disrupts the ignition process.

To fix this problem, you will need the help of experienced specialists who will carry out ultrasonic cleaning.

Poor quality lubricants may also be the cause. Oil can remain on the cylinder walls and interfere with the normal stroke of the piston. To eliminate this problem, you need to change the oil after thoroughly flushing the engine. The fuel pump is unstable. The device will not have the necessary pressure for the system to operate smoothly, so the fuel supply will be intermittent.

1. Low quality fuel. This problem leads to engine detonation. The integrity of the heat pipes is compromised, and this leads to air leaks and dilution of the combustible mixture.
2. The gas exhaust system is clogged. Failure to remove excess gases will block the engine. This problem can only be fixed at a service station.
3. The fuel or air filter is clogged. If the filters are not kept clean, the system may also fail. It is necessary to monitor the filter parts and periodically clean or change them.
4. The oxygen sensor may fail and become one of the reasons that the car stalls. Correct operation of the sensor depends on the composition of the combustible mixture. If the composition is incorrect, the device will block further operation of the machine.

What to do if the engine troits

To determine the exact location of the problem, do the following:

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

Next, diagnostics are carried out based on the condition of the spark plug from the faulty cylinder. It is unscrewed with a special key, which every car enthusiast needs to have on hand. It cannot be replaced with another. To get to the service center, you just need to replace the carbonated spark plug with a new one to temporarily restore engine performance.

1. If the electrode on the removed spark plug is clean and the head is dirty, this means dust has appeared in the combustion chamber. In this case, it is necessary to check the air system and, if necessary, replace the filter.
2. Burnout of the electrode and contamination of the entire spark plug with fumes indicates a lean fuel mixture and detonation combustion. If the electrode is intact, but there is burning throughout the spark plug, we can talk about an overly enriched mixture and a delay in ignition.

Many car enthusiasts are familiar with the method of checking spark plugs. If it is there, albeit weak, then it is necessary to look for additional reasons for the engine malfunction, and if it is good, you can try to start the engine again, perhaps its operation has been restored. If there is no spark, replace the spark plug with a new one.
