1996 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Engine Q&A

  • Why does my Monte Carlo’s check engine light come on when I start it? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your Monte Carlo firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Monte Carlo making engine noise? Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Chevrolet Monte Carlo engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. 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 a Chevrolet engine? [ordered-list-1-item-3-1]Are you unknowingly damaging your Chevrolet Monte Carlo engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' 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 put water in my Chevrolet Monte Carlo radiator? It’s not recommended you put water in your Monte Carlo 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 could cause my Monte Carlo engine to suddenly stop? Reasons your Monte Carlo car engine may suddenly stop include engine overheating, electrical troubles, mechanical issues, ignition system problems, faulty sensors, and low fuel.
