Ignition system
If you have a new car of foreign manufacture, and with a fuel-injected engine, then you can not read. But if the machine is used, with the carburettor motor - then business another. Actually, the power supply system and ignition are not connected. But on modern engines with injection will not meet the ever-memorable mechanical spreader or breaker contacts. And gasoline - as much as necessary. And not to potter then on a frost, contacts should be cleaned, a distributor cover - too (and should be replaced). Even better - to replace classical system of ignition on electronic (if still have car owners, who did not). Do not forget the high-voltage wires. After a couple years of driving on our "salty" roads they are desirable to change and better - on wires with a silicone shell that are less sensitive to temperature. Furthermore, they do not frost is formed, which is often caused by lack of spark. By the way, the banal cause ignition problems can be corroded or bad tighten battery terminals. Separately - about candles. Usually them change through 15-20 thousand. Kilometers, ie. E. Once a year and a half (we do not take cutting-edge, can withstand 100 thousand. Km or more). It is not necessary to save on candles - calcined, clean and adjust the gaps. Change at least once a year - it's inexpensive. And put it on the eve of the new winter. Fuel system Often it is the cause of poor performance of the engine in winter. And all - of the fuel accumulated in the condensed water tank. If the tank has a drain plug, drain the water can be a - if not "neutralize", using so-called "propellants moisture." Almost all the leading manufacturers of car chemicals present in the Russian market (STP, Loctite, WynnHs, Aspokem), offer similar preparations which are filled into the fuel tank and gradually purify the power supply system. It is advisable to put a new fuel fine filter, clean the carburetor, and if the motor has injection system - to ensure cleanliness of the injectors. Owners of diesel cars, especially if the machine previously operated in a country with a mild climate, it is necessary to take care about the equipment of fuel system by special devices of heating. Practice shows that the diesel engine to start at -20 ?� C can be difficult, since the fuel loses fluidity (how much "winter" solar oil is that we sold in the winter - we can only guess). One of effective measures - application warmed toplivoprivodov and filters. This diesel engine can start up even at -40 ?� C. The heating is carried out elements that are powered by a regular battery. Consumption of current is about 5A, the inclusion of heaters for 5-10 minutes on the capacity of the battery has almost no effect.
