Questions About 1986 Chevrolet G30 Engines

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my G30? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is just your G30 testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Why does my Chevrolet engine sound different? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Chevrolet G30 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 could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • What could damage my Chevrolet G30 engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.
  • Is it okay to put water in my Chevrolet G30 radiator? It’s not recommended you put water in your G30 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.
