Why does the check engine light in my Trans Sport turn on when I start my car?

Why does my Pontiac engine sound different?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Pontiac Trans Sport. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

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

Can I put water in my Pontiac Trans Sport radiator?

What can cause the engine in my Trans Sport to suddenly stop?
