Why does my Blazer’s check engine light come on when I start it?

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your Blazer firing up its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Are Chevrolet Blazer engine noises bad?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Chevrolet Blazer engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Chevrolet Blazer engine?

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Can I add water to my Chevrolet Blazer radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your Blazer when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

Why did my Blazer engine suddenly stop?

Reasons your Blazer car engine may suddenly stop include engine overheating, electrical troubles, mechanical issues, ignition system problems, faulty sensors, and low fuel.
