check the following points:

A the warning lamp "Engine oil pressure" has gone
out.
A the warning lamp "Battery charge" goes out when
engine speed is increased.
A the color of the exhaust is normal and no abnormal
noises or vibrations are heard or felt.

A The engine rpm's increases or decreases suddenly.
A Sudden abnormal noises are heard.
