This factory service and repair manual for the 1986 Chevrolet Chevette covers one trim, CS, in two hatchback bodies, one with four doors and one with two. The engine bay held either a naturally aspirated 1.8L overhead-valve inline-four of 110 cubic inches on diesel or a naturally aspirated 1.6L single-overhead-cam inline-four of 98 cubic inches on gasoline. With trim variation out of the way, the wiring diagrams describe a single equipment level, and the rest of the manual concentrates on engine, driveline, brake, steering and body procedures with their specifications and torque values.

Known issues on the 1986 Chevette. Three recalls sit on the federal record. Two of them cover the push-pull headlight switch, whose contacts can break the circuit intermittently so the headlamps flicker or go out at night or in bad weather. The third involves the automatic transmission shift lever button wearing to the point that gears can be selected without pressing it, which allows an accidental shift from drive into reverse while the car is in motion. Three complaints have been logged, one each on engine cooling, vehicle speed control and the service brakes, and all three systems are diagnosed here.
THE PUSH-PULL HEADLIGHT SWITCH MAY HAVE ELECTRICAL CONTACTS WHICH ALLOW AN INTERMITTENT HEADLIGHT CIRCUIT CAUSING HEADLIGHT TO FLICKER OR SUDDENLY GO OUT.
Remedy
REPLACE HEADLIGHT SWITCH AS NECESSARY.
