Why does the check engine light in my 300ZX turn on when I start my car?

Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.

Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Can I add water to my Nissan 300ZX radiator?
