Hi guys,
My recently aquired palio S10 is behaving nuts to say the least.
The battery not charging light came up on my dash , it was concluded the alternator is blown.
Yesterday morning when I re-charged the battery and cranked the car (to take to alternator repair guy, as Fiat A.s.s said - " Replace the alternaror sir .. Rs.12500 / - including taxes !)
The RPM needle stared bouncing from 900- 3500 when idle, the engine kept on revving madly!
So i switched of and again cranked , drove it like mad max for 10kms , but na the same when i idled .
Could it be a Throttle body ?
Or its just that the alternator is not giving enough current so engine is revving to try and pump more current ?
Is it safe for the car engine to drive it for 35 kms ? (Alternator repair guy is 35 km from my place.)
I think i should fix the alternator first and then see if the prioblem persists.
suggest !:bang:
