Engine Q&A 1987 Chevrolet Corsica

  • Why does the check engine light in my Corsica turn on when I start my car? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is just your Corsica testing 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 Corsica. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. 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 my Chevrolet Corsica 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 put water in my Chevrolet Corsica radiator? It’s not recommended you put water in your Corsica radiator unless it’s an emergency. Under normal circumstances, use a 50/50 mix of water and coolant or a pre-mixed coolant. But, if you need to keep driving while out of coolant, using water is better than driving with an empty coolant reservoir.
  • What can cause the engine in my Corsica to suddenly stop? Reasons your Corsica car engine may suddenly stop include engine overheating, electrical troubles, mechanical issues, ignition system problems, faulty sensors, and low fuel.
