Are Isuzu Impulse engine noises bad?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Isuzu Impulse. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change.

What could damage my Isuzu Impulse 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 accelerating too quickly, too soon. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Can I use water in my Isuzu Impulse 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 Impulse when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

Why did my Impulse engine suddenly stop?

Your Impulse car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
