1997 Chevrolet Express 1500 Engine Q&A

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Express 1500? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is just your Express 1500 testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Why does my Chevrolet engine sound different? Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Chevrolet Express 1500 engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.
  • Can I put water in my Chevrolet Express 1500 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.
