check engine CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO 1973 2.G Owner's Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine on the placard. In addition, for
those owners who prefer the
ut­
most in comfort, the reduced tire
pressures listed on the placard may
be used when loads of
(5 occu­
pants or less) are carried.
The use of improper tire
infla­
tion pressures can adversely affect
tire life and vehicle
perforrilance:
•
Too little air pressure can result
in excessive tire heat, abnormal
tire wear, adverse vehicle
han­
dling and reduced fuel economy.
• Too much air pressure can re­
sult in abnormal tire wear, ad­
verse vehicle ride and handling,
and increased susceptibility to
damage
by road impacts.
Tire pressures should be checked
when the tires are
"cold" at least
once a month (and preferably
oftener)
or before long trips or
when heavily loaded. The follow­
ing points should be observed
when checking and setting tire
pressures:
<
1. Cold tire pressure ratings are applic­
able when a vehicle has been Inopera­tive for 3 hours or more, or driven less
than 1 mile.
2. Tire inflation pressure may increase as much as 6 pounds per square inch (psi)
when hot (after vehicle has been driven
10 miles or at speeds of more than 60 miles per hour). Do not "bleed" or re­duce pressures when tires are hot from
driving.
3. For continuous high speed operation
(over 75 mph), increase tire inflation
pressure 4 psi above the fecommended
pressures up to a maximum
of 32 psi
cold pressure for load range B tires, or 40 psi for D load range tires. Sustained
speeds above 75 mph are not recom­
mended when the 4 psi adjustment
would require pressures greater than
the above maximum pressures.
4. Always use a tire pressure gauge when
checking pressures as the appearance of a tire can be deceiving. For example,
radial ply tires, in comparison with bias
ply tires at the same pressure, may have
the appearance of being under-Inflated.

Vehicle Loading-Do not load
your vehicle beyond the vehicle
capacity (total pounds) shown on
the tire placard. This figure
repre­
sents the design capacity of the
vehicle, not merely of the tires.
When towing trailers, the
allow­
able passenger and cargo load
must be reduced by an amount
equal to the trailer tongue load on
the trailer hitch.
(See "Trailer
Hauling" in Section 1 of this man­
ual.) Station wagon loads should
be distributed
as far forward as
possible. Vehicles equipped with
luggage racks do not have a
vehi­
cle load capacity greater than
specified on the tire placard.
Tire Wear and Rotation-Un­
even or abnormal tire wear is
usually the result of incorrect in­
flation pressure, improper wheel
alignment, wheels being
out-of­
balance, or poor driving habits.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The chart on the previous page, and the information on the pages which follow, contains information designed to aid the average driver to discover, and possibly correct, conditions resulting in minor
mechanical difficulties in his cor. The chart, designed to point out
possible solutions to several of the most common automotive mal­functions and point out a logical checking sequence, will lead step by step to the most likely causes and corrective procedures. If, after making the checks and adjustments suggested,' the source of the
trouble has not been found and corrected, it is strongly recom­mended that an Authorized Chevrolet Dealer inspect the vehicle and make whatever repairs or adjustments are necessary.
FUEL SYSTEM AND ENGINE
If the ignition switch will cause the engine to "turn over" or "crank" but the cor will not start,
check Steps A through D below. NOTE: If continual "f1ooding" of the carburetor is evidenced by a carburetor wet with fuel or black exhaust smoke, perform the operation suggested in par­agraph 0 only. (A) The first and most obvious, and one of the most frequently Checlcing Fuel Flow
68
overlooked, items to check when you have difficulty in starting your car is the amount of fuel in the tank. Make it a habit to check the FUEL GAUGE regularly and most especially at a time' when the engine will not start. (B) If the fuel tank is not empty, you may check further to see whether the fuel is reaching the carburetor_ Disconnect the fuel line at the carburetor and remove the center (ground the secondary coil
terminal or disconnect the primary wire from the coil to the dis­tributor at the coil) wire from the coil tower. Place a jar or cup under the open line and briefly "crank" the engine by means of the starter. If fuel spurts from the fitting, you may assume that the FUEL LINES are clear and the FUEL PUMP is operating properly. If no fuel leaves the line, either the
fuel lines or fuel pump are at fault. See your Authorized Chev­rolet Dealer. (C) Before reconnecting the fuel
line to the carburetor, remove the FUEL FILTER from the carburetor inlet and check its condition. If it appears to be clean, replace it and reconnect the fuel line. Re­place the filter if it appears to be plugged. (0) If the fuel seems to be reaching the carburetor properly, the problem may be: an EMPTY Fuel Filter
CARBURETOR BOWL caused by a "stuck shut" carburetor; a flOODED CARBURETOR caused by a "stuck open" condition and evidenced by gasoline seeping down and around outside of the carburetor; or a stuck CHOKE valve. Remove the air cleaner from
the carburetor. Check that the choke valve moves freely and is not
stuck. (Don't mistake normal spring tension for a stuck valve.) Tap the side of the carburetor sharply several times with a light tool such

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine as a screwdriver handle or pliers. Replace the oir cleaner and attempt to start the engine in the normal manner. (E) If the car will start but stalls when hot or has a rough idle, you can suspect a faulty IDLE ADJUSTMENT, a malfunctioning AUTOMATIC CHOKE or an extremely dirty and blocked AIR CLEANER ELEMENT. Replace paper element air cleaner if necessary. Idle adjustment or automatic choke service (other than that outlined in paragraph 0 above) should be performed by your Chevrolet
Dealer. If the above Fuel System checks and the checks suggested under
the Electrical System following do not correct the malfunction, it is recommended that you turn to your Authorized Chevrolet Dealer
for further checks, adjustments or repairs. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM If when the ignition key is turned to "Start", the engine will not turn' over, yOu have good reason to suspect electrical trouble. NOTE: Never'remove Delcotron bat lead without first disconnecting battery ground cable. IF) When there is no response at all to attempts to start the car,
check the obvious-your AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SELECTOR LEVER must be in Neutral or Park position (manual transmission
must have clutch depressed all the way to floor) before the engine
can be starfed. Turning the IGNITION SWITCH rapidly back and forth several times will sometimes correct a poor internal switch
contact.
(GI The BATTERY may be discharged. If so, lights will be dim and the horn will have a poor tone if it will blow at all.
Usually a garage recharge will be necessary to return the battery to operation. Occasionally, however, a long drive will recharge the battery. . , •
NOTE: If the baHery is determined to be dead, and for no apparent reason, have your :Aflthori~ed Chevrolet Dealer check the baHery, the GENERATOR and the VOLTAGE REGULATOR.
GENERATOR trouble shqiJld already have been indicated by
69
the generator indicator light on the instrument panel.
POOR BATTERY CONNECTIONS may be suspected if the car has operated properly a short time before and now not even the horn will operate. Check both ends of both battery cables. If the con­nections are corroded, a car may sometimes be restored to opera­tion by removing all cable ends, scraping all contacting surfaces
clean with a pen knife, and reassembling. If the cables are broken,
they must be replaced. The power supply should now be restored unless-the battery is dead.
(HI If, however, the lights and horn work properly but the starter will still not turn over, check the STARTER connections. A "click" from the starter solenoid indicates that the wiring to the starter is properly installed. If the wiring seems to be clean and tightly in­stalled, the trouble is probably in the starter itself and should be referred to your Authorized Chevrolet Dealer.
When the engine will "turn over" but will not start, the following
items may be checked along with the Fuel Systems Checks listed previously.
(II With a clean dry cloth wipe the ce-amic portions of the spark plugs dry. In particularly damp or rainy weather dampness may be the cause of not starting, espe­
cially when the engine is cold.
(JI Check the cables at the top
of the distributor and coil as well as each spark plug cable for
tightness.
(KI If the car will still not start,
check for spark at the spark plugs in the following manner: Pull one of the spark plug
wires off its spark plug. Insert a
short piece of bare wire (such as Distributor and Coli Cables

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine a bobby pin) between the rubber
cup
at the end of the spark plug
wire
and the tubular metal con­
nector inside
of it. If the spark plug wire is wet or oily, wipe it
dry.
Wrap a dry handkerchief or
facial tissue, folded several thick­
nesses,
around the wire at least
three inches back from the end and grasp the wire at this point.
Hold the bare wire about V4 inch
from the
bore tip of the spark plug from which you removed the Checking Spark
wire. When the engine is "turned over" a spark should jump across
the 1,4 inch space, indicating ample current supply. If no spark
jumps, the difficulty is probably caused by a defective ignition part
and should be corrected by your Authorized Chevrolet Dealer.
COOLING SYSTEM
When the car will run but evidences serious overheating on the
temperature gauge in the instrument panel, there are several items
which may
be checked.
IL) Engine overheating will occur when the OIL LEVEL falls danger­
ously low. Check the oil level as a mailer of course.
1M) Low COOLANT LEVEL will, of course, cause engine over­
heating . Determine the
cause of the low coolant level and have it corrected if necessary.
70
IN) Check the RADIATOR CORE. Clean it if it is plugged with
bugs, leaves or other foreign material.
(0) Condition of the FAN BELT
is very important, not only for en­
gine cooling but
also for proper
generator operation. Check the
condition of the belt. Replace it
if it is worn or frayed. Loosen
the generator toward the engine
to remove
and replace the belt.
Tighten the belt, whether new or
old, by loosening the generator
bolts, prying with a bar on the
generator until the belt is ten­
sioned properly , then retighten
the
generator bolts.
(P) Another couse of engine
overheating may be
an inopera­
tive
COOLING SYSTEM THER­
MOSTAT. If the thermostat should
foil in the dosed position, it will
not permit
coolant to circulate
through the system. In such an
emergency the thermostat may be
removed but should be
replaced with a properly functioning ther­
mostat as soon as possible.

The headlamp circuit is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch. An electrical overload on the breaker will cause the lamps to go on and
off, or in some cases to remain off. If this condition develops, have your
wiring circuits checked immediately. Also, a circuit breaker, mounted on the firewall, protects the power window and power seat circuits if vehicle is so equipped. Where current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker
intermittently opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the cause is found and eliminated.
Fuses, located in the Junction Block beneath the dash on the driver's side are:
Radio, TCS, Rear Defogger

An Air Conditioning high blower speed fuse, 30 amp. is located in an I n-line fuse holder running from horn relay to Air Conditioning relay.
Do not use fuses of higher amperage rating than those recommended above.
Fusible Links are incorporated into the wiring system. These are wires of such a gauge that they will fuse (or melt) before damage occurs to an entire
wiring harness in the event of an electrical overload. See your Chevrolet Dealer if fusible link replacement becomes necessary.
