General information about the ignition system

The ignition system of Tauras / Sable models is a rigid stationary structure, consisting of an ignition unit, a coil, a distributor, spark plug wires and the spark plugs themselves. When the ignition is on, the primary circuit is energized.

When the armature pole of the Hall sensor passes by the receiver, a control signal arises in it, under the influence of which the electronic unit breaks the primary circuit. After a complete voltage drop, the primary circuit closes again.

When the circuit is on, current flows from the battery through the ignition switch to the primary winding of the coils, then to the amplifier module and to "mass". When the electric current is interrupted, the magnetic field of the ignition coil disappears, due to which a high voltage is induced in the secondary winding of the coil. Voltage is supplied to the distributor, where the slider directs it to the appropriate spark plug. The process is constantly repeated.

All cars are equipped with a mechanically driven distributor in a composite molded case, a Hall sensor, and an octane corrector. All models use an integral ignition module (TFI - IV), attached to the base of the distributor. Used on four-cylinder engines, the TFI - IV module includes a block "kick start", which allows, if necessary, to start the car by towing.
