Check of a state and replacement of spark plugs

(each 48 000 km [30 000 miles] of run or time in 24 months)

Tools necessary at replacement of spark plugs

1 — the Candle head - Is equipped with the special elastic insert excluding possibility of casual damage of a porcelain insulator at a candle reversing.
2 — the Dinamometrichesky key - without being among obligatory tools, provides a reliable guarantee of correctness of effort of a tightening of spark plugs.
3 — the Ratchet drive - Is used in a set with a candle head and a dinamometrichesky key.

4 — the Extender - Depending on model and a complete set access to spark plugs can be limited by its auxiliary units in various degree therefore use of extenders of the corresponding form and design will allow to facilitate procedure performance considerably.
5 — the Adaptation for measurement and correction of interelectrode gaps of spark plugs - Is issued some types of this sort of tools - make sure that the tool is completed with the probe corresponding by the size to gaps of candles of your car.

If original candles after check of a state are established on the engine again, they have to be rolled strictly in former cylinders, - make the corresponding marking.


 PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Do not forget to estimate during check/replacement of candles also a condition of VV of wires brought to them.
2. In most cases replacement of spark plugs requires existence of a special candle head (with an elastic insert inside) complete with the ratchet drive, and also a set of extenders of the drive of a key and the tool for check and correction of interelectrode gaps. For a safe detachment of tips of VV of wires from shafts of spark plugs the special tool though its application and is not strictly obligatory is also issued. Use of a dinamometrichesky key will allow to achieve the correct effort of a tightening of candles.
3. It is most correct to keep constantly in the car a set of replaceable spark plugs with the correct image the adjusted interelectrode gap. Upon purchase of new candles watch that they met for the parameters the requirements of the engine of your car. Necessary information is provided in Specifications to the present Chapter, and also on VECI label fixed under a cowl (in case of different interpretations the preference should be given information of VECI).
4. Start a reversing of candles only after full cooling of the engine. Not to waste in vain time, use a pause for check of a condition of a replaceable set of candles.

5. The interelectrode gap of a candle is checked by introduction to it of the corresponding probe izmeritet and has to conform to the requirements provided on VECI label. The probe has to with an easy resistance slip between lateral and central candle electrodes. Correction of a gap can be made by means of the special adaptation which is usually a part of the measuring instrument - turn in appropriately lateral electrode of a candle. If the lateral electrode is located not precisely over central, correct its situation as appropriate. Make sure of lack of cracks and other damages to a porcelain insulator of a candle. Existence of any sort of defects of an insulator is inadmissible.
6. At the cold engine disconnect VV a wire from a spark plug of the first cylinder (see the Section Check of a State and Replacement of VV of Candle Wires, covers and the runner of the distributor). Pull only for a tip, and not for a wire at all! It will be reasonable to use the special tool.
7. In the presence of near at hand source of compressed air, use it for removal of garbage from candle niches of the engine (the ordinary bicycle pump will be suitable for this purpose also not worse).

When using compressed air do not forget to put on goggles!

8. Spark plugs on some of the considered models are deeply drowned in candle niches therefore their reversing requires the key drive extender. Having put on a head a candle, connect the drive and, accurately rotating a collar counterclockwise, turn out a candle (see an accompanying illustration).



9. Verify the turned-out candle with the card of states given on a photographic insert that will allow to estimate the general condition of the engine qualitatively. Before rolling new candles, slightly grease their carving part with the anti-taking sealant (see an accompanying illustration).


10. Manually acquire one of new candles in the corresponding opening in the engine. Having made sure that the candle is not warped in a carving, tighten it with the demanded effort (in the presence of near at hand dinamometrichesky key). For simplification of procedure of a nazhivleniye of a candle pull on its shaft a piece of a flexible fuel hose (see an accompanying illustration). Thus the probability of failure of a carving as at the slightest zakusyvaniye the hose will start being turned simply is excluded.

11. Before connecting to the wire VV spark plugs, execute procedures of the Section Check of a State and Replacement of VV of Candle Wires, a cover and the runner of the distributor.
12. Connection of VV of a wire is carried out by rotary progress of its tip, - the last has to sit down on a candle shaft densely.
13. Repeat procedure for the remained spark plugs, carrying out all actions serially in order to avoid violation of an order of connection of VV of wires.

Coal deposits

Symptoms: Availability of soot indicates reenrichment of fuel and air mix or weak intensity of a spark. Causes admissions of ignition, complicates start and results in instability of operation of the engine.

Recommendations: Whether check the air cleaner is hammered, whether fuel level in a float-operated chamber is not too high, whether the air gate is jammed and whether contacts are not too worn-out. Try to use candles with longer insulator that increases resilience to pollution.


Normal state of a candle


Symptoms: Gray-brown color and easy wear of electrodes. The Kalilny number of candles corresponds to type of the engine and its general state.

Recommendations: When replacing candles establish candles of the same type.


Oiling


Symptoms: Oiling of a candle is caused by wear of maslootrazhatelny caps. Oil gets to the combustion chamber through the worn-out directing valves or piston rings. Causes admissions of ignition, complicates start and results in instability of operation of the engine.

Recommendations: Perform mechanical recovery work and replace candles.


Peploobrazovaniye


Symptoms: Soft brownish color of adjournment on one or both electrodes of a candle. A source of their education are the applied additives to oil and/or fuel. Excessive accumulation can lead to isolation of electrodes and cause admissions of ignition and unstable operation of the engine at acceleration.

Recommendations: At fast accumulation of deposits change maslootrazhatelny caps that will prevent hit of oil in combustion chambers. Try to replace fuel brand.


Overheat


Symptoms: Porous, white insulator, erosion of electrodes and lack of any deposits. Leads to reduction of service life of a candle.

Recommendations: Whether check the kalilny number of the established candles conforms to requirements of Specifications, whether the ignition advancing corner is correctly exposed, whether too poor fuel and air mix moves, whether there are no leakages of vacuum of the inlet pipeline and whether valves are jammed. Check also the level of a cooler and whether the radiator is corked.


Wear


Symptoms: A rounding off of electrodes with a small congestion of deposits on the working end. Color normal. Leads to difficulty of start of the engine in cold damp weather and to fuel consumption increase.

Recommendations: Change candles on new, the same type.


Too early ignition


Symptoms: Electrodes are melted off. The insulator has white color, but maybe is polluted owing to admissions of ignition or hit in combustion chambers of foreign particles. Can lead to an engine exit out of operation.

Recommendations: Check kalilny number of the established candles, an ignition advancing corner, quality of mix (whether it is not too grown poor), whether the cooling system is corked and whether the lubrication system normally functions.


Detonation


Symptoms: Insulators can be chopped off or burst. Also inaccurate technology of adjustment of a candle gap can lead to damage of an insulator. Can lead to damage of pistons.


Electroconductive luster


Symptoms: The insulator has yellowish color and the polished appearance. Speaks about sudden temperature increase in combustion chambers at sharp acceleration. Usual deposits thus are melted off, taking a form of a varnish covering. Leads to admissions of ignition at high speeds of the movement.

Recommendations: Replace candles (colder, at preservation of a manner of a driving).


Zabryzgivaniye

Symptoms: After admissions of ignition during a long period of adjournment can be loosened at preservation of working temperature in the combustion chamber. At high speeds of adjournment in flakes come off the piston and stick to a hot insulator, causing admissions of ignition.

Recommendations: Replace candles or smooth out and establish into place the old.


Short circuit of electrodes


Symptoms: Waste of products of combustion gets to interelectrode space. Firm deposits accumulate, forming a crossing point between electrodes. Leads to refusal of ignition in the cylinder.

Recommendations: Remove deposits from interelectrode space.


Mechanical damages

Symptoms: Can be caused by hit of foreign materials in the combustion chamber or arise at blow of the piston about too long candle. Lead to refusal of functioning of the cylinder and to damage of the piston.

Recommendations: Remove foreign particles from the engine and/or replace.
