Strong frosts are commonplace in our country. That is why most car owners try to keep their vehicle in a heated garage. However, quite a few drivers still met the problem of flooded candles. Often this happens during an attempt to start a cold motor at minus temperatures. In this article we will try to find a solution to this problem and learn how to start the vehicle if the candles flooded.

Spark plugs, influence of weather conditions for the operation of the ignition system

We all know that when working in the motor internal combustion, a number of processes occur:

1. Feeding the fuel and air mixture - fuel mixed with air, after which is fed to the motor cylinders.
2. Compression of this mixture of motor cylinders - valve closed, the piston goes up and reaches the maximum point.
3. Ignition - the candle is sparking, as a result of which this compressed fuel is flammable, a minimal explosion occurs, after which the piston moves down.
4. The exhaust gas output is when the burnt fuel leaves the motor piston by valve and the gas trap system.
   

When the weather is frosty, ignition does not always happen. In other words, a combustible mixture (air + gasoline) enters the motor cylinders, but does not ignite. Thus, fuel pours candles that become wet, and the formation of sparks on such candles is actually impossible. If the candles were wet, and the driver continues to "twist the motor", then, thereby, only aggravates the position, as the candles are closer to gasoline.

Spark plugs, which leads to the fill of the spark plugs

As a rule, it all depends on the state of the battery of your vehicle and from the car device is an injector or carburetor.

The most basic culprit of such a problem is a weak battery. At low temperatures, it does not create the required voltage on the motor candlelight, the spark is weak and is not able to ignite fuel. As a result, gasoline begins to pour candles. That is why in winter it is so important to systematically check the state of the battery.

The injector is a more progressive, but also a more complex system. At low temperatures, the on-board computer causes the injector nozzles to supply a greater amount of fuel in the air mixture to enrich the composition. But if the vehicle has a weakly charged battery, the sparks are not enough to ignite the fuel, resulting in the injector and the candles are injected. But pour the injector is not so easy. Unlike carburetor engines, injector have a lot of sensors that follow the engine and fuel supply. If the vehicle has not started, fuel is not fed in large volumes, which minimizes the pouring of the candles. It is worth noting that if the transport did not start with the third time, you should wait a bit and try to start it again. If it did not work again, you will have to charge the battery and make cleaning the candles.

The carburetor is simple, however, a fairly obsolete fuel injection system. The incorrectly adjusted carburetor is able to overflow fuel in the combustion chamber, and if during the warm season it also rolls, then in frosts is more fuel simply pours candles. Accordingly, the vehicle with the carburetor motor is actually unrealistic. In addition, the carburetor has no fuel supply. In other words, if you didn't start the car, it will all pour fuel in the volume that is configured. Therefore, before the onset of winter, it is necessary to adjust the carburetor, otherwise it will not be easy to start the engine at very low temperatures.

How to replace spark plugs

Replacing the ignition candles is a very simple process, but it is necessary to observe a certain sequence of actions.

A special candle wrench unscrew the candles, then you should wait a bit before installing new candles (about five minutes). As a rule, there should be no problems, however, remember that when performing such works it is impossible to smoke, because you are dealing with gasoline.

Most of the car owners forget to change the candles in a timely manner, as a result of which problems arise. The deadlines for the operation of the candles are mainly dependent on the manufacturer. If the firm is known, then with the proper operation of the candle, its service life is about 50,000 kilometers.

How to restore the performance of spark plugs, emergency measures

To restore the performance of the spark plugs, you should unscrew them and attributed to a warm room, for example. Then we clean the products from the garbage and a car with the help of a metal brush or sandpaper. Be extremely neat so as not to damage the spark plugs.

Next you need to dry the candles, for which they can be placed on the battery. If you are very hurrying, you can dry them on a gas closet, but do not overdo it. It is believed that for the most efficient drying and cleaning it is necessary to administer the candles of hot. But only some recommend it to act, the other part of motorists does not advise it, as as a result you can spoil the ceramic core of the candle. In addition, when exposed to a candle too high temperatures, its surface loses smoothness and there is a need to polish the eye or sandpaper.

However, there is another way of drying candles - they can be dried with a starter. To do this, squeeze the gas pedal and twist some time the motor starter. Fresh air drying and candles, and cylinders, as a result of the fact that fuel will not flow into the combustion chamber due to an open throttle. Vehicle must start after gas supply. The advantage of this method is that it is suitable for cars with any motor, the disadvantage of this method is the real threat to plant the battery even before drying the spark plugs.

Tips of professionals

To avoid filling with fuel candles, the battery status should be checked in the winter time of the year, it is mandatory to adjust the carburetor before the onset of cold weather and on time to replace the ignition candles.
