Winter is the least favorite time of the year for many motorists. Largely due to the fact that every morning you need to spend time to start the engine of your "iron horse". Owners of VAZ - 2109 cars are no exception, because sometimes it is much more difficult to start a domestic car than an imported one.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, be sure to check that all electrical appliances in your car are turned off. This applies to the radio, heated rear window, headlights, stove fan, air conditioner, etc.
Step 2
Now warm up the cold battery a little by turning on the high beam headlights for 20-30 seconds. Turn the key in the ignition switch a little so that the electric supply in the passenger compartment turns on, but the engine does not start. This procedure will help to restore the battery's performance after long-term parking on the street.
Step 3
Press the clutch pedal, put in neutral, try starting the engine. If he does not start on the first try, then it is better not to "torture" him. Give the starter and battery a little break. And then, after about 30 seconds, try starting the engine again. Remember that you do not need to press the gas pedal, since the fuel injection system itself will provide fuel to the cylinders. It is recommended to make no more than 7 attempts with an interval of 30 seconds.
Step 4
Try recharging the discharged battery using wires from another car. This will help provide voltage to the spark plugs, which in turn will affect sparking, and the starter will rotate more intensively. When starting the engine in this way, it is also necessary to take short breaks between attempts. Otherwise, overloading of the spark plugs may occur.
Step 5
If all of the above does not help start the car, then there is only one thing left - towing. Tie a cable to another machine and be sure to agree on how you signal that the engine has started. While towing, make sure that your vehicle does not skid and keep your distance. As soon as the engine starts, try not to let it stall by pressing the gas pedal. At the same moment, depress the clutch pedal and put in neutral. After that, signal to the driver of the towing vehicle and brake. Wait for the engine to warm up. You can help him a little by increasing the revs by pressing the gas pedal. Remember that this method should only be used as a last resort, as it can lead to serious engine damage.
