The concept of "troit engine" has come to us since the Soviet era, when the vast majority of cars had four-cylinder engines. The word "troite" meant that only three of them work. Now, in case of malfunctions of one of the cylinders on any engine, the expression "engine troit" is used traditionally.
The main features of the engine triple structure are:
- peculiar, intermittent exhaust sound;
- shaking unusual for a car with a running engine;
- drop in power;
- increased fuel consumption.
If you do not deal with the issue of troubleshooting, then this will lead not only to financial losses (due to excessive consumption of fuel), but also to a decrease in the motor resource of the motor itself.
Before solving the problem of triplet engine, it is necessary to find out the causes of the malfunction. First of all, you need to determine the non-working cylinder. To do this, with the hood open, you need to start the engine and remember the sound of its operation. Then, in the next order, disconnect and replace the spark plug caps, while the sound and nature of the work should change. Determine which cylinder does not affect the operation of the motor during these manipulations. He will be inoperative.
The next step is to determine if there is a spark in the spark plug of an inoperative cylinder. To do this, unscrew the spark plug and, putting on the appropriate cap with a high-voltage wire, ensure contact of its "skirt" with the engine housing.
Next, you will need the help of an assistant to turn on the ignition and turn the starter. In this case, you need to make sure that the candle generates a spark.
No spark in the spark plug or its low power. Reason: malfunction of the spark plug itself. Elimination method: change to a new one.
Broken high voltage cable or increased resistance. Cause: malfunction of the ignition module. Elimination method: hand over for repair or change.
Malfunction of the crankshaft position sensor. Cause: timing belt shift.
Elimination method: diagnose the car, change the sensor if necessary, disassemble the timing system, put the belt on the marks.
When a candle generates a normal spark, you must immediately contact a service station. The reasons for tripping in this case are rooted in mechanics. The reason may be a malfunction of valves, rings, nozzles. And this is already a serious breakdown, which can only be dealt with by qualified specialists.
