Why does the check engine light in my Celebrity turn on when I start my car?

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is a sign that your vehicle is testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Are Chevrolet Celebrity engine noises bad?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Chevrolet Celebrity. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.

What could damage my Chevrolet Celebrity 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 pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Can I add water to my Chevrolet Celebrity radiator?

Only in emergencies. A 50/50 mix of coolant and water (or a pre-mixed) coolant is recommended. However, if you must keep driving when you're out of coolant, it's better to drive with water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.

What can cause the engine in my Celebrity to suddenly stop?

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