1985 Chevrolet C30 Engine Q&A

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my C30? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your C30 firing up its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Why does my Chevrolet engine sound different? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Chevrolet C30. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • What could damage a Chevrolet engine? [ordered-list-1-item-3-1]Are you unknowingly damaging your Chevrolet C30 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 put water in my Chevrolet C30 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 C30 when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.
  • What can cause the engine in my C30 to suddenly stop? If your C30 car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
