i10 era 1.1 CNG/Petrol
Recently my car has been acting all weird (possibly an electrical fault is at play)
the car starts fine and runs OK for uncertain duration (unpredictable)
but this thing happens when i am accelerating
It goes like this:-
- i accelerate to achieve a good speed as to get into the next gear
- suddenly the EPS warning light comes on and the steering gets hard
- the air blowers blow faster like over their limit
- the handbrake light comes on even though i haven't engaged the handbrakes
- the oil light also comes on
- the fuel indicator goes dead
- the speedometer goes to zero
- and the odometer shows no digits only back light
all of this happens for a few seconds only (5-10 seconds) and goes away when i decelerate or try to bring the RPM to idle (on purpose)
but all of this repeats itself again sometimes it takes longer and sometimes it does just after say 5-10 seconds and otherwise everything in the car is working fine like always, the AC, the fuel pump etc.
so i try my best to handle the hard steering for the duration though i need to reach my destination anyhow so i don't over-speed only in range of 40-50 KMpH
what i suspect:-
I feel there is something about the wiring, maybe somewhere the wire is touching the ground
recently i have run the car in deep waters (it's over pouring in Delhi and streets get clogged heavily) so many times i have run into water almost 3 feet deep.
what i have done so far:-
i have tried to disconnect the headlight plugs and its fuse (as i have an aftermarket relay and high watt lamps) but no change.
i have checked all the spark plug leads with a screw driver to check for arching but there is no leakage, even the distributor.
for an effective troubleshoot i need guidance, as where to start
i know i need to take it to the mechanic i have that in mind but can't do that for some days because of my exams
so please, experts help me.
