1999 Chevrolet C1500 Suburban Engine Q&A

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my C1500 Suburban? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is a sign that your vehicle is testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Why is my Chevrolet C1500 Suburban making engine noise? Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Chevrolet C1500 Suburban engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • What could damage a Chevrolet engine? [ordered-list-1-item-3-1]Are you unknowingly damaging your Chevrolet C1500 Suburban engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving the engine while still in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.
  • Can I use water in my Chevrolet C1500 Suburban radiator? While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your C1500 Suburban radiator in emergencies. Normally, you should only use a 50/50 mix of coolant and water or a pre-mixed coolant. However, if you are completely out of coolant and must continue driving, it’s better to have water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.
  • What could cause my C1500 Suburban engine to suddenly stop? If your C1500 Suburban car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
