Replacing injectors for Lada Kalina sedan (VAZ Kalina)

Tools and materials for cleaning injectors

The operation of cleaning the injector without special equipment (ultrasonic baths and fuel stands) will go quickly and efficiently if you have a few necessary tools and a simple homemade device on hand. The device is a simulator of the operation of an injector in combat conditions, that is, the injector removed from the engine will be visually diagnosed, washed and fully prepared for further use. For washing it is useful:

1. Five cc disposable syringe.
2. Aerosol for carburetor cleaning from any manufacturer.
3. Two meter wires of any section.
4. 12 volt lamp.
5. Single position switch or push button.

Removing the nozzle

In order to carry out high-quality maintenance, restore the functionality of the nozzle or replace it, first of all, it is necessary to disconnect the wind cover or, as it is popularly called, “jabot”. Or rather, its upper part. To do this, you will need a 10-mm head, a flathead and a Phillips screwdriver.

How to remove the upper part of the windshield

• Using a 10mm socket, unscrew the two nuts located along the edges of the cladding.
• Next, unscrew the four self-tapping screws that secure the cladding. The screws are located under the plugs.
• Then you need to disconnect the sound insulation, which is attached to the wind window trim with six self-tapping screws.
• Carefully remove the top part of the windshield.

Having thus gained access to the washer nozzles, we proceed directly to dismantling them.

To dismantle the injectors you must:

• Disconnect the washer tube from the tee.
• Unscrew the screws securing the injectors, as shown in the photo above.
• Remove the injectors.

Now you can perform all further operations with the injectors. Assembly is carried out in reverse order.

How to clean the injectors of a VAZ 2107

Methods for cleaning sprayers may vary; the use of one method or another depends on the level of contamination of the holes and the nature of the deposits. If you carry out preventive cleaning or remove light contamination, you can use special chemicals, the use of which does not involve removing the injectors.

If the injectors are in a neglected state and cleaning with additives does not make sense, then you will have to dismantle the injector and replace the VAZ 2107 injectors.

Cleaning injectors with additives

Additives can not only remove deposits from fuel nozzles, but also clean the fuel system as a whole. This method is effective only with the systematic use of cleaning chemicals. Additives need to be used every 17-20 thousand kilometers. To clean, the standard fuel pump is turned off, and the fuel injection line is connected to a container through which the cleaning liquid is supplied under pressure. The engine is started and idles for a quarter of an hour, after which it is turned off for the same amount of time. During this time, the deposits become soft. The engine is then started again, but this time the speed is gradually increased to maximum to remove sludge fragments. In this mode, the internal combustion engine should operate for about half an hour.

Manual cleaning

For manual cleaning you will need:

• A jar of injector cleaner;
• A set of spanners or open-end wrenches;
• Screwdriver Set;
• Syringe 5-7 ml;
• Clean rags.

Follow the following sequence of actions for the success of the event:

1. We dismantle the air pipe fixing clamps using the key set to “7” and remove the pipe;
2. We dismantle the throttle cable clamp with a “flat” screwdriver;
3. Remove the accelerator cable and its bracket;
4. We dismantle the fuel lines and pipe fastenings;
5. Dismantle the VUT hose;
6. We dismantle the fuel pipe brackets and the intake manifold;
7. Remove the fuel rail mounting bolts;
8. Loosen the injector mounting harness;
9. We remove the injectors with the fuel rail.

We clean the sprayers in accordance with the instructions given on the packaging of the chemical. We perform assembly in reverse order.

Cleaning process

Next, the power unit is started and warmed up. You also need to remove the main fuel pump fuse. Several launches will be required. This will relieve pressure in the fuel system. The hose that supplies fuel to the injectors is removed, and the newly assembled structure is installed in its place. They also dismantle it from the “return” (it is “jammed”). Then turn on a separate fuel pump and check the tightness of all connections. If everything is in order, then you can proceed to the main part of the process. Start the engine and let it run for about 5 minutes. After this, he should “rest” for a few minutes. During this time, the cleaner will soak away all deposits. Then the engine starts again. This time he is allowed to work for about 30 minutes.

This time is enough for all contaminants to burn out. The engine should run at idle for the entire half hour. You can sometimes raise the speed to 2.5 thousand. After the process is completed, the system is disconnected and the standard power system is connected. Now you can start the engine and leave it for 10 minutes. During this time, the remaining cleaner will burn out. At the same time, you can check the tightness of all connections. Next, turn off the engine and install new spark plugs. Reset errors of the electronic control unit, if any. You can additionally carry out diagnostics and make sure that the power unit is working as expected. Is doing-it-yourself injector cleaning effective? Yes, quite effective. Moreover, it gives results in Russian realities, when it needs to be done every 20 thousand km.

Ultrasound or chemicals for cleaning the injector?

So, it was decided that the injectors and injector needed to be cleaned. Which method should I choose? Common methods are washing the injector without removing the injectors or cleaning the injector on an ultrasonic bench. The cleaning efficiency of the second method is several orders of magnitude higher, but in this case, except for the nozzles, nothing else is cleaned. For VAZ cars, sometimes cleaning is not the right solution. It is much easier and cheaper to simply replace the injectors.

Today, simple single-circuit installations are used for washing and cleaning. These are containers in which the solvent is located. The unit is placed next to the machine. A hose is connected to the inlet of the fuel rail to inject the product into the system. The cleaner, which acts as both a cleaning agent and a fuel, is supplied to the system by a compressor.

But there is a drawback: this method does not allow the cleaning fluid to pass through the pressure regulator and shut-off valve. This is ineffective and does not flush out the fuel system. Double-circuit stands are much more efficient, since the cleaning liquid passes through all fuel systems. As for ultrasound, it began to be used back in 1985. A bath for such cleaning is a container with a cleaner. An ultrasonic emitter is installed at the bottom of this bath.

The disadvantage is that you only need to clean the injector nozzle. And modern sprayers cannot be cleaned using ultrasound. And this process is quite labor-intensive.

It is preferable to use imported solvents as a cleaner for injectors and injectors. They are of high quality. These are, for example, injector cleaning products such as the German Liqui Moly, the Belgian Winns or the American Hi-Gear. Domestic products were also tested, but neither “Toilet duckling” nor “Moidodyr” were suitable for these purposes.

Cleaning without removal: preparation

Most car enthusiasts try to pour flushing fluid into the tank - this is a mistake, and there is no need to do this. During the cleaning process, the motor must be disconnected from the general power system. It is important to remember that there is pressure in the fuel rail. This injector washing (including cleaning the injectors yourself) involves dismantling the hoses. Therefore, you need to work as carefully as possible.

Next, you need to prepare a temporary engine power system. A plastic bottle is suitable for this. A pre-prepared cleaner is poured into it. For a motor with a working volume of 2.5 liters, 1 liter of the substance should be filled. You can use liquid at the rate of 100 g. per 0.5 liters of engine volume. Next, a little fuel is also added to the bottle. Fill in half of the cleaner. Then a hose is put on the neck of the bottle and tightened with a clamp. The pipe must be cut into a separate, pre-prepared fuel pump.

Replacement or flushing?

Some problems can be eliminated by cleaning and flushing. Others are “treated” only by replacement.

Table: problems with injectors

In these cases, flushing is not a panacea. This method should be used taking into account the mileage and quality of service during operation.

During operation, the injector nozzles inevitably become coked and clogged with resinous deposits. The picture is aggravated by low-quality fuel, which can introduce additional pollutants.

For some time, fuel atomizers continue to operate without any visible changes, but sooner or later contaminants accumulate, changing the shape of the spray and reducing performance.

Injector life expectancy is limited even when using the cleanest fuel. Manufacturers recommend changing them every 100–120 thousand kilometers. Due to the fact that motorists use imperfect gasoline, and the one that can be bought at gas stations, the part has to be changed after 80-100 thousand km.

There is an opinion among motorists that “there is no need to interfere if everything works fine.” This opinion is justified, but only if the owner is ready to replace the nozzles with new ones approximately every 50 thousand kilometers.

The fact is that by getting rid of minor deposits as they accumulate, the owner extends the life of the consumable, since pollutants do not have time to cause irreparable damage.

Clogged injectors begin to interfere with normal operation after 30–50 thousand km.

Initially, negative processes manifest themselves only in increased fuel consumption. Owners do not always associate the increased “appetite” of the engine with injectors, since there are many reasons for this phenomenon.

In the range of 50–80 thousand km, pollution, having accumulated, can cause interruptions in engine operation, which is no longer undetectable. It becomes clear that “you have to get into the injectors,” but cleaning them at this stage may be useless. When a clogged part is used for a long time, the diameter of the nozzle often increases. Flushing will remove contaminants, but the original parameters will not be restored.

To extend the life of trouble-free operation and postpone replacement, you should regularly check the

pour injector cleaning fluid into the tank or use it in another way recommended by the manufacturer.

Motorists' opinions about the effectiveness and safety of injection chemicals are contradictory. Many people fear that flushing without removing it from the engine will clog the cylinders.

Indeed, if the car owner has not touched the injectors for a long time, it is impossible to do without removing the rack. The chemicals in the tank can cause harm instead of benefit. If you use cleaners regularly, without waiting for characteristic malfunctions to appear, there will be no harm to the engine from the chemicals.

Although injection chemistry has a beneficial effect on slightly dirty injectors, its use does not guarantee that the atomizers will comfortably “live” the entire period “allotted” to them by the manufacturer. You can unsuccessfully fill the tank with “left” gasoline at almost any gas station.

To minimize the accumulation of deposits, manufacturers recommend additional preventive flushing with special products every 30 thousand kilometers.

Causes of pollution

Flushing injectors is an operation that any engine needs.

Sooner or later, the owners of all, even the most expensive cars will have to go through this. Knowing the main sources of contamination, you can delay as much as possible the moment when the problem can only be solved by washing. The main cause of blockages in injectors is low-quality fuel with a large volume of heavy elements. They are dissolved in fuel and easily pass through any filters. When the engine is stopped, all these elements settle on the injectors. And the lungs immediately evaporate.

Replacing O-rings

To prevent fuel leakage, do not reuse the O-rings of the injector and injector body. They are replaced with new ones every time they are removed for any reason.

To remove the old ring, just pry it up with a screwdriver. When installing new ones, do not use hard tools; install the seals by hand. Before installing the injector, lubricate the rubber bands with engine oil.

An injection engine is not at all complicated, as owners of carburetor cars sometimes believe. Injectors are reliable parts that require only a little attention. Show it, and the engine will thank you.

What injectors are installed on VAZ 2110–2112 cars

The main advantage of injectors for VAZ cars of the tenth family is that they are interchangeable. There are only two types of sprayers - produced by Bosch and Siemens. And each of them, regardless of marking and year of manufacture, can be replaced with another.

Bosch injectors are traditionally manufactured in black housing

When selecting, there is only one limitation - engine size. 1.5 injectors are not suitable for 1.6 liter engines.

The Siemens injector has a blue tip

Both Bosch and Siemens injectors of any marking can be installed on 8-valve and 16-valve engines.

Removing and cleaning VAZ 2110-2112 injectors

Cleaning the injectors of a VAZ 2110-2112 is a job that should be done only if necessary, because the ramp in which the injectors are located and the injectors themselves are practically the very heart of the engine.

That is why they need to be cleaned only if there are problems with the engine - increased fuel consumption, tripping, a significant decrease in power. Only when there is reason to believe that the injectors are clogged can they be cleaned.

Fuel additives are supplied to the market to clean the injector, which must be added to gasoline, but they do not always cope with their job and do it efficiently. And in some cases they can harm the engine, because all the dirt from the injector gets into it, or react with the components of the engine oil.

Removing the VAZ 2110-2112 ramp

Important! All work on removing the VAZ 2110-2112 ramp must be done cold. First of all, we disconnect the wires from the fuel pump, thereby de-energizing it. Then we start the engine and wait until it stalls.

We start it again and so on - we repeat the procedure until it stops starting. Thus, we remove pressure from the fuel supply system. After this, you can begin to remove the ramp.

The first step is to de-energize it by turning off the power - the general wiring is located on the interior side. Then we unscrew the fuel hoses and all the electrics that are connected to the fuel rail of the VAZ 2110-2112 - idle speed regulator, pressure regulator, throttle position sensor.

Next, unscrew the two hex bolts that hold the fuel rail in place. Essentially, we can now remove the fuel rail. It can be removed in the upward direction, but it will hardly be possible to do without improvised means. The fuel rail sits very tightly and must be removed strictly parallel to the ground, since any distortion will only complicate the task.

Cleaning injectors VAZ 2110-2112.

All work on cleaning VAZ 2110-2112 injectors must be done on a clean surface - for this it is advisable to spread a clean piece of cloth on the ground or work table. In addition, you will need to assemble a simple circuit from a 12 V light bulb, an injector, wires and a switch. We connect the light bulb, nozzle and switch in series, after which you can start cleaning the nozzle.

Removing the fuel rail and injectors, checking VAZ-2107-20 injectors

The fuel rail of the VAZ-2104 engine serves to supply fuel to the injectors and is mounted on the intake pipe. On the top of the ramp, next to the injector of the 3rd cylinder, there is a fitting for monitoring the fuel pressure.

The pressure regulator, attached to the rail, changes the fuel pressure in the rail from 2.8 to 3.2 bar (280-320 kPa) depending on the vacuum in the receiver, maintaining a constant pressure difference between them. This is necessary for accurate dosing of fuel by injectors.

The injectors are electromagnetic valves that allow fuel to pass through when power is applied and are closed by the action of a return spring when power is de-energized. At the end of the injector there is a nozzle through which fuel is injected into the intake pipe. The injectors are sealed in the ramp and in the intake pipe with rubber rings; it is recommended to replace them each time the injector is dismantled. The controller controls the injectors. If there is a break or short circuit in the winding, the injector should be replaced. If the injectors become clogged, they can be washed at a special service station without dismantling them.

We carry out the work on a cold engine. Relieve pressure in the fuel system.

Unfasten or cut the plastic clamp securing the injector wire block to the front panel.

To replace the injector o-rings, use a screwdriver with a thin blade and remove the o-rings and nozzle.

We dismantle the other injectors in the same way.

To check the injectors, we connect the block of their wiring harness to the block of the wiring harness of the engine management system, and connect the fuel hoses to the tubes of the ramp and pressure regulator.

We install the electric fuel pump fuse in the relay and fuse block of the engine control system.

The shapes of the spray patterns, as well as the amount of fuel injected by each injector over a certain period of time, should not differ noticeably.

We check each injector separately by placing a transparent bulb under it and disconnecting the wire block from it. We supply 12V voltage from the battery with two wires to the injector and turn on the ignition.

After turning off the power from the injector, check whether fuel is leaking through the nozzle holes.

If the injector's electrical resistance is not correct, the performance and spray pattern are very different from other injectors, or if the injector is leaking, it will need to be replaced.

Install the ramp in reverse order. We replace damaged rubber O-rings with new ones and apply engine oil to them during installation. The tightening torque of the ramp mounting screws is 9–13 Nm, and the fuel pipe fittings are 20–34 Nm.

Features of the design and repair of modifications of the LADA KALINA car

*On some cars the 11183 engine was installed.

The engine compartment of a car with an 8-valve 1.6i engine : 1 — tensioning mechanism for the generator drive belt; 2 - spark plugs with high-voltage wire tips attached to them; 3 - ignition coil; 4 — knock sensor; 5 - generator Cars of the LADA KALINA family are produced in three body types: sedan, hatchback and station wagon, and are equipped with three engine models (see Table 16.1). The 11194 engine, which began to be equipped with the car from mid-2007, is discussed in detail in the sections of the chapter (see “Engine and its systems”). From the beginning of production, only eight-valve engines with a displacement of 1.6 liters were installed on the car, mainly model 21114, used on LADA cars of the “tenth” family. Some of the cars were equipped with the 11183 engine, which is used in cars of the SAMARA family. Both engines are similar in technical characteristics, but have minor design differences. Externally, these engines differ in the color of the cylinder block: the block of the 21114 engine is blue, and the block of the 11183 engine is gray. Engines are assembled on different production lines. The 11183 engine has a 21083 series connecting rod piston group with a pressed pin, and the 21114 engine has a 2110 series connecting rod with a floating pin. The 21114 engine has a clutch disc with a diameter of 200 mm, and the 11183 engine has a clutch disc with a diameter of 190 mm, but with imported linings. The engines are unified in other parts. The features of the design and repair of these engines are described below in the relevant sections. The cylinder head of an eight-valve engine is more compact (compared to a sixteen-valve engine), so all engine attachments are accessible from above. The alternator drive belt can be adjusted without removing the windshield washer reservoir. Replacing the voltage regulator and removing the generator can be done from above. The knock sensor and other elements of the engine management system are easily accessible. The camshaft position sensor is installed in the cylinder head plug. It responds to a pin pressed into the camshaft (see “1.6i engine camshaft - removal and installation”).

The ignition system of eight-valve engines uses one ignition coil. It consists of two two-terminal ignition coils, made in a single housing. Sparking occurs in two cylinders simultaneously (1-4 or 2-3). The ignition coil is connected to the spark plugs by four high-voltage wires with permanent tips.

Elements of the ignition system of the 8-valve 1.61 engine : 1 - ignition coil; 2 - set of high-voltage wires. Engines use A17DVRM spark plugs, where: A - thread Ml4×1.25; 17 - heat number; D - length of the threaded part is 19 mm, with a flat seating surface; B - protrusion of the thermal cone of the insulator beyond the end of the threaded part of the housing; R - built-in resistor; M - bimetallic central electrode. You can install spark plugs of a similar type from other manufacturers on the engine: - WR7DCX (BOSCH); — LR15YC (BRISK “SUPER”).

Spark plug for 8-valve 1.6i engine : 1 - side electrode; 2 — central electrode (in the thermal cone of the insulator); 3 - threaded part of the body; 4 - sealing ring; 5 — hexagonal part of the turnkey housing; 6 — insulator (spark plug markings are applied to it); 7 — contact tip (removable, mounted on a thread) Features of repairing the ignition system are shown below (see the relevant sections). On eight-valve engines, the 1118 series fuel rail is used, which differs from the 11194 engine rail in the shape and design of the injector mounting. You can remove the fuel rail from the engine without dismantling the intake pipe and receiver (see “Fuel rail of the 1.6i engine - removal, disassembly, assembly and installation”).

Fuel rail of the 8-valve 1.6i engine : 1 - diagnostic fitting; 2 - fuel rail; 3 — fitting for connecting to the fuel line; 4.5 6 and 7 - injectors Nozzles 1118-1132010 (SIEMENS VAZ 20734) are installed on the fuel rail.

Injector of the 8-valve 1.6i engine : 1 - nozzle; 2 — rubber sealing ring; 3 - terminals for connecting the wiring harness block Since 2009, some cars with a hatchback body began to install the 21126 engine, which was previously only equipped with cars of the LADA PRIORA family. This engine differs from the 11194 engine in its larger displacement and, accordingly, has a different cylinder block and pistons with a diameter of 82 mm. The factory designation of the model is VAZ-11196. Cars of the LADA KALINA family (models VAZ-1117, −1118 and −1119) differ in the design of the rear part of the body. Other body parts are identical for all models. The tailgate of a station wagon is shaped differently from that of a hatchback. In this case, the rear lights are not located on the rear pillars, but are built into the rear fenders above the bumper. Similar to how this is done on a sedan car. The taillights of the sedan and station wagon are similar in shape, but are not interchangeable.

Causes and symptoms of malfunctions of the seven injection nozzles

Injectors are one of the most important parts of the fuel injection system. If it fails, which happens extremely rarely, the operation of the engine is disrupted. Most often, fuel injectors become clogged, which occurs due to contact with aggressive media. An aggressive environment is not only the fuel, but also the burned fuel assemblies. Before cleaning the injectors on a VAZ 2107, you need to determine by the signs that diagnostics of these particular parts is required:

1. At idle, unstable operation of the internal combustion engine is observed.
2. When trying to move away, the engine stalls.
3. Reduced power and agility.
4. When moving, jerks and dips occur.
5. Excessive amount of exhaust gases from the muffler.
6. Increased fuel consumption.
7. Extraneous sounds and noise are observed when the engine is running.

If these signs are detected, you will need to check the condition of the injectors. The reason for their clogging is low-quality gasoline, which causes deposits to form on the walls. If your car has a faulty or missing fuel filter, then the need to clean the fuel nozzles arises quite often.

After removal, you will need to check the devices, or rather their condition. How to check the injectors on the seven, we will figure it out in the next section. If diagnostics show that they are unsuitable for use, they will need to be replaced.

Device diagnostics

To make sure that the injectors need to be cleaned or replaced, you will need to first perform some diagnostic procedures:

This is because the nozzles
  cannot "click". Voltage must be supplied in “batches” during periodic pumping. Once each injector has been cleaned, they should be replaced in the reverse order.

Troubleshooting

Despite their undeniable advantages over carburetor systems, injection engines are quite capricious, subject to the influence of many factors and have higher maintenance requirements.

Engine performance depends on the condition of the injectors. The main external signs of problems with injectors are:

• jerks and dips when accelerating the car;
• reduced engine speed;
• unstable operation at idle and low speeds;
• high content of toxic substances in the exhaust.

Checking with a stethoscope

You can carry out diagnostics yourself or contact a car service. The procedure for checking injectors with your own hands is as follows.

1. Check the valve. If it does not move, then either the injector itself or the electrical circuit is faulty.
2. If a characteristic sound is heard when the valve opens, it is working properly. If there is no sound, the valve is not working.

When diagnosing injectors, you can use a stethoscope.

1. Using a stethoscope, listen to the injectors click when idling. Listen in such a way that the clicks are not transmitted along the fuel rail to the non-working injector from the working one.
2. Make sure that the frequency of clicking sounds increases as engine speed increases. Otherwise the injector is faulty.

Video: checking injectors with a stethoscope

Checking with a multimeter

A multimeter is a special device for diagnosing electrical circuits.

1. In the technical documentation, find the resistance value of the injectors installed on your car.
2. Disconnect the wires from the injectors.
3. Set the multimeter to resistance measurement mode.
4. Connect the multimeter contacts to the injectors.
5. Measure the injector resistance.

The normal impedance of injectors with low resistance should be 2–5 Ohms, with high ones – 12–17 Ohms. If the values ​​do not match, the injector is replaced with a new one.

Testing at the stand

The stand can have a different design, it can be expensive or cheap. Simple stands can be found in private garages. They are used to check the pressure of the injectors. Professional stands allow you to most accurately diagnose and adjust injectors. Such equipment is usually available only in service centers.

Professional injector testing stand

As a simple stand for checking injectors, you can use the MTA-2 mechanical tester. With its help, you can easily check the condition of the injectors, pressure, fuel injection pump. There is no need to disassemble the engine.

The Bosch stand is more expensive and complex. Many experts call it the standard of quality for diagnosing injection pump. The stands “Delphi”, “Hartridge”, “Rabotti” and others also show good results.

How to wash injectors on Kalina 8 valves

I recently became the owner of a Lada Kalina with an 8-valve engine, mileage is 160 thousand, I am already the third owner of the car. So, I decided to wash everything, replace it, and, in general, bring the car back to life. Replaced the IAC, TPS, washed the throttle assembly, replaced all the pipes and clamps. I decided to wash the injectors at the same time, since, I suspect, the previous owners had never done this before. I bought an Abro carburetor cleaner for this purpose; two of the injectors were blown out perfectly, the third was worse, and the fourth was not blown out at all. I decided to replace the latter - I installed a new, original one, but it only turned out worse. Now the engine is shaking, the speed is floating. What did I do wrong? How to properly wash the injectors on Kalina?

You need to change all the injectors and buy them with the same number. check the injector winding resistance. should be within 11-15 ohms

It’s like you’re rummaging around, now that you’ve got the hang of it. And as a problem, everything is fucked up. It is necessary to diagnose, to cling to the brain.

Look at the sensors, maybe they were installed incorrectly, tightened poorly (air is sucking), check the injectors last. Start small.

Possible air leakage through the sealing rings. Change the rubber rings on the injectors.

You can properly wash the injectors only at the stand, remove them and give them to the specialists

Diagnostician Changed the injectors for the client, after checking at stand 3 they were clogged, one was leaking. He threw them into a jar of laurel wash, a week later he remembered them, put them on a stand, at first they sprayed black, then they started working normally, now he rides them himself, and threw his own into the laurel)))

If the injectors are clogged, the abro will not help. It makes sense to use Abro periodically for prevention on a new car. If there is a problem, then you need to look carefully: the wiring to the injectors, the VV wires.

Correctly, the injectors are washed with ultrasound.....and at the stand it is assessed how evenly they pour, if not evenly, then they are put back into the ultrasound......otherwise what you are doing is called either useless or harmful to the car.

If you didn’t open them by supplying power, but they were blown out without power being supplied to them, then these are the ones that don’t work, since they shouldn’t be blown out without voltage being applied to them

Yes.. of course it wasn’t worth going there if it worked... But since that’s the case, it’s worth taking a look. Here we popularly explained how you can clean the injectors at home. If the tips don’t help, write to us by email, and we’ll try to figure out what the problem is together.

How to clean injectors at home

The injector nozzle operates on the principle of a spray, dispensing the mixture into the working chamber of the engine. The duration of the injection cycle and the amount of fuel supplied are set in the program of the internal combustion engine control unit. For each of the injectors these parameters are the same. The fuel injector is located inside the intake manifold. The air flow passes through the manifold and carries the fuel particles ejected by the injector into the combustion chamber.

In order to wash the removed injectors, it is necessary to prepare a washing device. The injectors are flushed under pressure. To do this, we assemble the injector power supply circuit. The injector receives power from 9 to 12 V. The power source for opening the injector can be a crown battery or a car battery. We will use a rechargeable battery.

So, let's start assembling a device for washing injectors on a Lada car

For convenience, it is better to carry out the procedure together.

You need to prepare a syringe. Pull the piston out of it; the syringe cylinder should fit tightly onto the nozzle with the ring. You can also use a hose of a suitable diameter instead of a syringe and tighten it with a clamp. We will use a hose.

flushing with a syringe

flushing through a hose

Next, we twist the wires with the injector plug or with the “mother” terminals.

We connect the nozzle to the power source, observing the polarity. "+" and "-"

The injector should click, which means the injector is opening.

We hold the nozzle and spray carburetor cleaner into the hose and hold it, creating pressure in the hose between the nozzle and the cleaner bottle.

Then you need to open the injector by connecting the wires to the battery

The injector will spray carburetor cleaner and clear itself.

You can complete the procedure as soon as a uniform spray of fuel begins to emerge from the injector.

Next, you should do the same procedure with all the injectors.

Assembly should be carried out in the reverse order of disassembly.

How injectors are designed and work

YouTube channel "Mikhail Nesterov"

There is a solenoid needle valve located inside the fuel injector body. It is held closed by a return spring. When pulses are supplied from the electronic control unit (ECU) to the excitation winding, the valve opens. At this moment, the fuel is atomized and mixed with air, burned in the combustion chamber.

The correct proportions of the air-fuel mixture and its ignition depend on the quality of gasoline atomization. During normal operation of the injectors, the fuel is crushed into small particles, easily mixed with air and burned.

What are injectors?

An injector is a special mechanical sprayer located in the “head” of the engine, through which fuel is supplied to the cylinders under high pressure.

Injector malfunctions

Among the most common causes of injector failure may be the following:

• The injector nozzle is coked - in this case, increased fuel consumption may be observed, vehicle dynamics will decrease, and engine starting will be difficult at subzero ambient temperatures. Otherwise there are no differences.
• The injector valve does not close hermetically (“the injector is snotty” - note) - here there may be increased fuel consumption, “tripleting” and increased detonation (about checking the knock sensor here), unstable idling.
• Valve sticking - engine troubles. In order to diagnose it, with the engine running, turn off the power supply to each injector in turn. With a non-working injector, no changes in engine operation will be observed, but with a working injector, the speed will drop.

When is injector flushing necessary?

How do contaminants appear? First, resins settle on the engine parts; this is not burnt fuel and its impurities. The sediment then oxidizes and becomes a hard layer on the parts. If you refuse to clean the injection, then problems in the operation of the engine will only increase: high wear of mechanisms will appear, increased formation of coke and soot, the catalyst will experience excessive load, fail, etc. Even a thin varnish layer of 0.005 mm reduces the efficiency of injectors by 20% or more. The nature of the spray torch changes: its shape and size. The nozzles lose their tightness, causing the injection control to malfunction. As a result, we observe dips at idle and increased fuel consumption. The quality of fuel, extreme weather conditions, and long periods of sitting in traffic jams make the process of pollution formation lightning fast. You should know that there are other possible problems: fuel filter, pump, fuel intake screen. These dirty parts interfere with the normal operation of the engine. Prevention must be carried out every 20-30 thousand km. You can clean the engine yourself. To do this, you will need special equipment and liquid for flushing injector nozzles. Choosing the right product is easy. Today, products from the Russian manufacturer LAVR and European products are popular on the market. Before choosing a drug, watch the video to see how the compositions differ.

Checking Lada Priora injectors

As mentioned above, both the fuel system ECU and the injector itself can fail. To carry out a complete diagnosis of the ECU, special software is required, which the average motorist simply does not have. Therefore, the only option is to diagnose the machine at a service center. The program, connected to special equipment, will quickly detect ECU errors and correct them.

A full check of Priora injectors is possible only on a special stand

And if problems arise in the mechanical part of the injector, then the diagnostic program will be useless. The maximum that it can do is indicate which cylinder is not working correctly. After this, the car owner can only replace the failed injector on the specified cylinder, since these devices cannot be repaired.

Cleaning Priora injectors

There are two options for washing injectors: with and without removing them from the car. The removed injectors are washed on special stands using ultrasound, under the influence of which even the oldest contaminants disappear. Ordinary drivers do not have such stands, so below we will consider a more popular option for washing injectors without removing them from the Priora. Here's what you'll need for this:

• liter of special flushing fluid;
• two automobile nipples;
• automobile fuel filter;
• a pair of metal clamps;
• a meter piece of rubber hose with a diameter of 12 mm;
• drill with 13 mm drill bit;
• electric pump;
• two liter plastic bottle.

How to remove injectors?

First of all, you need to remove the injectors. To do this, first remove the terminals from the battery. We disconnect the wiring from the injectors; by the way, don’t forget to write down which wire comes from where. Next, you need to relieve the pressure in the fuel rail; for these purposes, there is a special bolt on it: place a rag under it and unscrew it slightly, when the fuel stops oozing, tighten the bolt in place so that you don’t forget about it later. After this, unscrew the screws that secure the fuel rail with injectors to the intake manifold and carefully remove the entire structure. We take out the injectors from the ramp. Try not to damage the sealing elements; be doubly careful if you did not purchase them to replace them.

An example of dismantling a fuel rail on a VAZ 2110.

Inspect the injectors: on one side there will be a supply channel, and on the other side there will be a spray nozzle, which may be covered with a brown oil coating. There will also be connection contacts on the side. Some injector models will still have a mesh filter on the supply channel, which must be removed along with the rubber seals before cleaning.

Let's move on to assembling the system for cleaning. To do this, we need to securely connect the spray tube of the cleaning can and the supply channel of the nozzle. In some models of nozzles, to do this, simply wrap electrical tape around the end of the tube that comes with the cleaner and then insert it tightly into the feed hole in the nozzle. If this is not possible, you will have to select a hose of the required diameter and use labor, electrical tape and “dancing with a tambourine” to make an adapter. Although, to be honest, it is not difficult at all.

Here are photos with examples:

Next, you should assemble the electrical circuit to open the injectors. To do this, one wire will connect the plus “+” on the battery, the light bulb and the designated plus on the injector terminal (the designation may be implicit, so it’s better to check the instructions). We connect the second wire from “–” to the button from the doorbell and to the second terminal of the injector.

We attach the hose from the cleaner to the nozzle, create pressure by pressing the valve on the can, and press the button for a couple of seconds, opening the nozzle (you should see a fine fuel torch escaping from the nozzle nozzle). We continue cleaning until the torch becomes uniform. We carry out this procedure with the remaining nozzles.

Now we install the injectors and reassemble the disassembled one in the reverse order. As experts and repair manuals advise, it is better to replace all rubber seals, but honestly, if they are in good condition, not stretched or “stiff,” you can leave the old ones. Do not forget, of course, to lubricate all seals with machine oil before installation.

After assembly, turn on the ignition to increase the pressure in the fuel system, and check all elements for fuel leaks, tighten the connections if necessary; if this does not help, then most likely the recommendation from the instructions for replacing the seals with new ones was just for you.

For those who have successfully tested the leak test and the engine starts and runs smoothly, I congratulate you, you have correctly flushed the fuel injectors with your own hands.

Removing Kalina injectors

1. Slide the injector lock.
2. Remove the clamp.
3. Remove the injector from the fuel rail.
4. Remove the O-ring from the sprayer.

Before installing the injectors, it is necessary to replace the O-rings. Then apply a thin layer of engine oil to the O-rings. Assembling and installing the fuel rail with injectors is performed in the reverse order.

Replacing injectors

The difficulty in identifying problems in the operation of injectors is that the fuel system is quite branched and it is necessary to diagnose the functionality of all its parts. For example, a malfunction such as a decrease in engine power can have two reasons - failure of the injectors or exhaustion of the pump's life.

Clogged injectors can result in sudden jerking of the engine while driving or unstable idle speed. In addition, an increase in fuel consumption can be considered a sign of injector failure.

You can check the functionality of each injector even without removing them. Simply start the engine and remove the wires from the connector of each injector one by one. If immediately after removal the engine starts to twitch or stalls, then the injector is fine. If the stability of the engine does not change with removal of the wire, then the injector needs to be thoroughly cleaned or even replaced.

Defective injectors

First of all, the car must be installed on a site convenient for work. Defects of the nozzle are carried out by simply turning it on. Using the steering column switch lever, you need to turn on the VAZ windshield wiper and observe the operation of the nozzle.

List of problems with washer nozzles

• Washer fluid does not flow through the nozzle nozzle at all.
• The washer fluid pressure is very weak.
• The jet of liquid supplied is directed to the side and does not provide complete cleaning of the windshield.
• The pump supplying washer fluid or its motor has failed.
• The washer fluid supply tube is damaged.
• The injector has mechanical damage.
• The injector nozzle is clogged with foreign material.
• The nozzle adjustment is incorrect.

Causes of problems

Attention: In order to quickly determine the area where the defect is located, it is recommended to disconnect the washer fluid supply tube from the nozzle and turn on the washer. If the fluid supply pressure is normal, then the problem is in the injector.

Symptoms of a problem

If you clean and maintain the injector assembly in a timely manner, they can last quite a long time. But when to clean the elements is difficult to determine, so there are a number of signs of malfunction.

• Starting the engine with difficulties or not the first time.
• Loss of power and traction.
• Troubling is a clear sign of uneven fuel supply.
• Increased consumption.
• Jerking of the vehicle in the winter season.

If the above symptoms occur, it is necessary to urgently clean the injectors. After the procedure, the performance of the car engine should return to normal. If this does not happen, then you should look for reasons in another place, such as the fuel pump, fuel filter or cylinders.

Adjusting the nozzles

If you managed to flush the injectors on your VAZ 2112 car yourself, then you can confidently handle the task of adjusting them. To do this, you need to understand a little about the design features of this device. On a VAZ 2112 car, two types of washer nozzles are used - jet and fan. In turn, jet nozzles can be: single-jet, two-jet and four-jet. This terminology is defined by the method of spraying washer fluid onto the windshield. In the jet nozzles, at the outlet of the washer fluid, a hinged bell is installed. This is a small ball with a through hole. Fan nozzles are equipped with a narrow slot-shaped bell. Now let’s start adjusting the injectors with our own hands:

• The direction of the jet in the jet nozzles is adjusted by turning the hinged bell.
• We insert a thin wire into the hole of the ball and turn the bell in the desired direction.
• Adjustment of fan nozzles according to their design is carried out only in a vertical position; the bell rises or falls to the desired direction. But this is not important; turning them left or right is also possible.

And, in general, no instruction can prohibit you from implementing any technical solution that helps improve the performance of vehicle components.

Troubleshooting

To quickly check the injectors without removing them, you will need an indicator screwdriver. It consists of a metal rod and handle on which a switch and a contact are located to create a conductive circuit, clamped by one of the fingers. When moving the switch forward towards the rod, the device becomes less sensitive; when moving to the upper position, its sensitivity increases. In the first case, the red indicator lamp will light up or flicker, in the second case, the green lamp will light up.

Before carrying out the test, the screwdriver switch must be moved forward, towards the working part (rod) until it stops, and your finger must be pressed against the open contact located on the handle of the indicator screwdriver. The hand must remain in this position during the entire test, closing the electrical circuit, otherwise there will be no indication.

The working rod of the screwdriver must be positioned so that it touches the metal bracket on the block holding the nozzle. There is an opinion that it is enough to simply bring the rod to the block for an indication to occur, but this is not so. The metal clamp catches the electromagnetic pulse generated during the operation of the injectors; a potential difference and alternating currents arise in it, which the device records.

This test checks the injector while the engine is running, so it must be started and left at idle. When the rod of the indicator screwdriver comes into contact with the metal bracket on the screwdriver, the red indicator should light up. This checks performance on all cylinders. If the injector of one of the cylinders is not working, the indicator will not light or blink.

Using the indicator does not necessarily indicate that the injector is faulty, it signals that it is not working. The problem may be there, or in the voltage supply system, poor contact, failure in the electronic control unit, etc.

Some models do not have metal pad clamps in which currents are generated; in this case, is it possible to determine the faulty injector without removing it from the engine? Yes, this can be done using the same indicator screwdriver. To do this, you need to set the switch in the uppermost position (this is the highest level of sensitivity of the device) and perform additional manipulations.

After starting the engine, the screwdriver rod is brought to the injector block, and no indication will appear, even if it is working. Therefore, you need to attach a metal bracket to the screwdriver shaft, which will serve as an antenna where electromagnetic oscillations will occur. A paper clip carefully pressed around the rod with pliers is suitable for this.

During the fuel injector test, the switch remains in the highest sensitivity up position. With the engine running at idle speed, you need to bring the bracket as close to the block as possible, it should cover it. A blinking indication should appear on the device due to currents excited by the electromagnetic field that occurs during operation of the nozzle. If there is a non-working injector under the column, there will be no indication. This technique is also suitable for pads equipped with a metal bracket.

Conclusion

Testing with an indicator screwdriver will help you quickly find a problem when the engine is misfiring due to an injector, or other problems from the list above arise. If you have this tool, you can carry out diagnostics in your garage, and having identified a malfunction, fix it, if possible. The proposed test only reveals the fact that the injector is not working, and this can be done without disassembling the engine.

To identify the reasons why the fuel does not ignite in the cylinder, more detailed diagnostics and subsequent repairs will be required. However, it is not always necessary to replace the nozzle; there are other reasons why it does not function or is unstable. Sometimes you just need to seal the pad contact and the problem of stable engine operation is immediately solved; in more complex cases, for example, to clean the injectors, you will need to contact specialists.

How to wash an injector with your own hands

Injector cleaning products effectively remove deposits from the system.
To carry out the procedure, a special pneumatic station is required. Such equipment can be freely purchased in Russia. Today there are pneumatic stations of domestic and Chinese production. If there is no need to constantly use such equipment, the injector can be washed at car repair shops that offer the service. The price will range from 1,500 to 4,000 rubles, depending on the car and region of residence. You can try to assemble the station yourself. At the same time, you should know that washing with homemade stations is dangerous. Flushing fluids ignite more easily than fuel. Therefore, avoid liquid leakage. If the liquid gets onto the exhaust manifold of a warm engine, it will instantly ignite. Such a procedure can cost you not only your car, but your life and health. Required injector cleaning kit:

• fuel line hose (1.5 m);
• clamps (2 pieces);
• cylinder with pressure gauge 1 l;
• hook for hanging the cylinder;
• line short-circuit hose (to plug the return line);
• adapters for connecting to the fuel rail;
• compressor;
• 1 liter of fluid per engine up to 2 liters.

When the station is connected, the system looks like a hospital IV. Cleaning injectors does not require much experience. The main thing is to strictly follow the instructions for connecting and flushing. Here is a list of steps on how to mount the station for work.

Installation of a washing station

1. Turn off power to the fuel pump by removing the fuse.
2. Disconnect the fuel supply line from the ramp. Be careful, there may be some minor splashing of fuel residue. If the design includes a return line, remove and plug it.
3. Select a suitable adapter (fitting). Connect the adapter to the ramp, then use a clamp to secure the hose to the adapter.
4. Fill the bottle with LAVR flushing fluid. Hang the can over the hood.
5. Connect the hose to the cylinder, then secure it with a clamp.
6. Connect the compressor to the cylinder, apply 3 atmospheres.
7. Check the tightness of the assembly. To do this, open the fuel supply from the cylinder to the fuel rail. If all connections are dry, begin the procedure.
8. Start the engine. Let the engine idle for 10-15 minutes. Make sure the pressure gauge shows 3 atmospheres.
9. Stop the engine for 15 minutes. During this time, the deposits will dissolve.
10. Start the engine. Periodically, smoothly increase the speed to 2500 rpm. Continue to monitor the cylinder pressure readings.
11. Complete the procedure when the liquid runs out.
12. Disconnect the station and mount the engine parts in the reverse order.

It is not necessary to change the oil and spark plugs after using LAVR injector flushing fluid. So immediately start the engine and do a test drive. In the very first kilometers of the journey, improvements in engine performance will be felt.

Repair of injectors VAZ 2110–2112

Repairing injectors means cleaning the product and replacing the O-rings. Simple measures to restore the functionality of the injectors can significantly increase the car’s power and make cold starts easier. Injector repair is possible in the following cases:

• there are no visible deformations on the body;
• the nozzle has not yet exhausted its service life;
• the car owner wants to optimize the operation of the power unit.

In all other cases (cracks and deformations, long service life), it is recommended to replace the nozzles with new ones.

How to blow out and clean oil molds

On cars of the tenth family, injector cleaning may be necessary after 40–50 thousand kilometers. In this case, it is best to carry out the procedure yourself, since you can always observe for yourself the true condition of the motor and its elements, and also save a significant amount on service station services.

Many drivers prefer to use the simplest method of cleaning injectors - fuel additives. Special liquids, along with gasoline, are poured into the tank and pass through all elements of the fuel system, cleaning them. This measure is justified for new cars in which the degree of pollution is at a minimum level. But additives will not be able to properly clean injectors and other elements of the system.

Cleaning VAZ injectors (2109, 2110, Kalina, Granta)

Now we will talk about self-cleaning of injectors on VAZ cars (2109, 2110, 2115, Kalina, Granta with 8-valve engines).
How often should this be done? There is no clear answer to this question. It all depends on the quality of the fuel. But on average, it is recommended to clean injectors once every 20-25 thousand kilometers. But mileage is not the main indicator on which you should rely. The main thing here is to notice in time the incorrect behavior of the engine - floating speed, increased fuel consumption, dips in dynamics, etc. All of these factors may indicate clogged injectors.

You can clean the injectors without removing them from the engine by pouring a special liquid into the gas tank. But this method is not always effective. And, besides, we will not be able to personally see the result. Therefore, the second method is predominantly used - washing the injectors with removal.

There are two methods here - ultrasonic cleaning and cleaning with special liquids. The latter does not require particularly complex additional equipment, so it is better to use it yourself.
