Prior to December 1985, the Santana sedan used a traditional ignition system with contacts. Since December 1985, the Santana sedan has adopted a non-contact transistor ignition system with a Hall element as a sensor. It eliminates the traditional way of closing and disconnecting the breaker from the distributor, instead of the trigger rotor, the reactor sensor, and the crystal ignition control device. The main common fault of the ignition system is that the engine can not start. The phenomenon is to turn the ignition switch to the starting position, the starter running, and the engine can not start.
    cause of issue:
    1. wire connection loose, poor contact;
    2. Ignition coil winding circuit or ground;
    3. Ignition controller failure;
    4. Hall sensor damage;
    5. Distribution device cover, split between the fire leakage;
    6. Spark plug gap increases, ablation serious, excessive accumulation of product accumulation;
    7. High voltage wire resistance is too large.
    Ignition troubleshooting and troubleshooting methods are as follows.
    If the starter is running, indicating that the battery, starter technology good good, the engine can not start because the ignition system or oil supply system.
    1. Visually check if the wire or harness connector is loose. If the wire is loose, tighten or tighten the connector so that the wires are in good contact. If the wire is not loose, check the ignition coil to produce the ability to spark.
    2. Remove the central high-voltage line from the distributor cover and clamp the high-voltage line with an insulating clamp to leave it at 6-7 mm from the engine. Start the engine, such as high-voltage line at the end of the blue spark, then the low-voltage circuit is good, fault in the high-voltage circuit, should check the distributor cover and sub-head, high voltage wire and spark plug. Such as high-voltage terminal no spark, then the low-voltage circuit is faulty, should check the ignition coil, transistor controller and Hall sensor.
