3.1.4.4.1. System of ignition

GENERAL INFORMATION

Design and functioning of system of ignition

Both types of the DOHC engine are equipped with electronic system of ignition:

  – engines with carburetor fuel system: system of ignition of ESC II;
  – engines with injection: system of ignition of EEC IV.

System of ignition of ESC II

Electric circuit of electronic system of ignition of ESC II of the carburetor DOHC 2,0 engine of dm3

And – the electromagnetic valve of blocking of supply of fuel after switching off of the engine,
B – generator,
C – resistor heating element of the automatic starting arrangement of the carburetor,
D – ignition switch,
E – module of management of ESC II ignition,
F – sensor of temperature of cooling liquid,
G – sensor of situation and speed of a bent shaft,
H – ignition coil,
J – accumulator,
K – I will corrode codings of octane number of fuel

This system contains:

  – the ignition distributor with the distributor of high voltage and the contactless sensor of Hall which is carrying out a role of the sensor of speed of a bent shaft of the engine;
  – ignition coil;
  – the vacuum sensor in an inlet collector;
  – sensor of temperature of cooling liquid;
  – the sensor of neutral position of the lever of gear shifting of the automatic transmission (only in cars with the automatic transmission).

The electronic module of management of ignition of ESC II receives signals from these sensors and on their basis and data which are contained in his memory selects optimum, for these operating conditions of the engine, the moment of interruption of current in primary winding of the coil of ignition, and thereby an optimum angle of an advancing of ignition. Then includes current in primary winding and interrupts current in it at the moment when in the next cylinder there has to be ignition, again gives current to this winding, etc.

The corner of an advancing of ignition is constantly regulated according to the obtained signals and data which are contained in memory of the electronic module.

In engines with the carburetor the module of management of ignition of ESC II corrects also the provision of a butterfly valve in no-load time depending on speed, load of the engine (for example, inclusion of transfer in the automatic transmission or turning on of the compressor of the conditioner), a thermal condition of the engine, and also from the provision of a butterfly valve.

Prevention

The method of check of elements of system of ignition of the DOHC engine integrated with system of injection of fuel entering a control system of the EEC IV engine, is given in the section of injection of fuel.


System of ignition of EEC IV

This system of ignition functions on the same principle, as the system of ignition of ESC II, is only combined with injection of fuel in the general control system of the EEC IV engine, and the electronic actuation device operates also system of injection.
Prevention

The described systems of ignition do not demand adjustment.


Removal and installation of the distributor of ignition

Removal and installation of the distributor of ignition do not present great difficulties. Elements of system of ignition of the DOHC engine are represented in the drawing.

Elements of system of ignition of the DOHC engine

1 – cover, distributor,

2 – distributor rotor,

3 – plate,

4 – lead,

5 – wires of high voltage of spark plugs,

6 – spark plug,

7 – wire of high voltage of the coil of ignition,

8 – ignition coil,

9 – electronic module of management of ignition


The distributor of ignition can be installed only in one, correct situation.

Check of elements of system of ignition

In the carburetor DOHC engine it is necessary to disconnect the multicontact socket of the module of management of ignition of ESC II and to measure by means of a multimeter resistance and tension on the chosen contacts of the socket according to the provided table.

In case of the wrong values of electric parameters before to consider this element damaged, it is necessary to check a condition of the corresponding electric contour.
