The unit controls the operation of the solenoid valve depending on the speed of the crankshaft.

In idle mode, the control unit energizes the outputs of the solenoid valve, which opens and passes vacuum from the throttle space of the carburetor to the economizer. The economizer valve, in turn, opens the idle channel.

When the speed rises above 1600 min–1, the unit turns off the power to the solenoid valve winding.

At the same time, the space above the economizer diaphragm is connected to the atmosphere through the valve, the vacuum drops, and the economizer valve closes the idle channel under the action of the spring.

When the speed drops to 1300 min–1, the control unit re-energizes the solenoid valve.

The valve opens, passing vacuum to the economizer diaphragm and the economizer valve opens the idle channel.

The solenoid valve is de-energized when the ignition is turned off, thereby preventing self-ignition of the fuel-air mixture in the cylinders.

The microswitch is mounted on the carburettor.

When the throttle is opened, it supplies voltage to the solenoid valve, bypassing the control unit.

Checking and replacing the EPHX solenoid valve

Design, testing and adjustment of UAZ economizer elements

Turn off the ignition and remove the wire ends from the solenoid valve terminals

Design, checking and adjusting UAZ economizer elements

Remove the hoses from the valve nozzles, marking their position

Design, checking and adjusting UAZ economizer elements

With a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the screw securing the valve and the tip of the ground wire

We check the operation of the valve, for which we apply a voltage of 12 V (DC) to the valve terminals.

With the mouth we create pressure in its side pipe.

For a serviceable valve, air should exit through the second branch pipe, and when the voltage is removed, through the air filter of the valve.

We replace the defective valve.

When installing the valve, make sure that the hoses are connected to it correctly: the side pipe is connected to the economizer, and the central one is connected to the throttle space of the carburetor.

Connect the wire ends to the valve terminals in random order.

Checking and replacing the control unit

It is recommended to check the EPHX control unit with a car tester with a tachometer function

Design, checking and adjusting UAZ economizer elements

Disconnect the wires from the carburetor microswitch

Design, checking and adjusting UAZ economizer elements

Remove the insulating tubes from the wire ends

Connect the voltmeter clamps to the terminals of the solenoid valve

Instead of a voltmeter, you can use a test lamp

Connect the tester (tachometer) to the engine and start the engine

Design, checking and adjusting UAZ economizer elements

The voltmeter should show the presence of voltage

Increase the engine speed.

When the frequency reaches 1600 min–1, the unit should turn off the power supply to the valve, and after the speed drops to 1200 min–1, turn it on again.

We replace a defective power supply.

Design, checking and adjusting UAZ economizer elements

With the ignition off, under the instrument panel, disconnect the wire block from the control unit

Design, checking and adjusting UAZ economizer elements

Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the two screws securing the unit

Install the new block in reverse order

Adjusting the position of the microswitch

Disconnect the wire tip from the microswitch.

Connect an ohmmeter to its terminals.

When the "gas" pedal is released, the contacts of the microswitch should be open (the ohmmeter should show high resistance), when the pedal is lightly pressed, they should be closed (the resistance shown by the ohmmeter is close to zero).

Design, checking and adjusting UAZ economizer elements

To adjust with a screwdriver, loosen the two screws securing the microswitch

Design, testing and adjustment of UAZ economizer elements

By moving the microswitch, we achieve its optimal position, after which we tighten the screws
