Engine Q&A 1990 Chevrolet V3500

  • Why does my V3500’s check engine light come on when I start it? It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. It’s just your V3500 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 does my Chevrolet engine sound different? Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Chevrolet V3500 engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal 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 V3500 engine? Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car 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 add water to my Chevrolet V3500 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. However, if you need to continue driving your V3500 when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.
  • Why did my V3500 engine suddenly stop? There are different reasons your V3500 vehicle engine could suddenly stop. You may be looking at a lack of fuel, faulty sensors, issues with the ignition system, engine overheating, electrical problems, or mechanical troubles.
