Engine Q&A 1987 Chevrolet R20 Suburban

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my R20 Suburban? It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. It’s just your R20 Suburban firing up its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Why is my Chevrolet R20 Suburban making engine noise? Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Chevrolet R20 Suburban engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. 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 coming from the brakes, not the engine.
  • What could damage my Chevrolet R20 Suburban engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.
  • Can I put water in my Chevrolet R20 Suburban 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 R20 Suburban to suddenly stop? Your R20 Suburban car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
