This factory service and repair manual for the 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo covers three trims, Base, LS and SS, on one two-door coupe body, with three engines to choose between: a 5.0L V8 of 305 cubic inches and a 4.3L V6 of 262 cubic inches, both overhead-valve, and a 3.8L V6 of 231 cubic inches, every one of them naturally aspirated and running on gasoline. Two V6s of similar size but different design share the same engine bay here, which is why the specifications, torque values and diagnostic routines are separated by displacement rather than by cylinder count.
Engines covered
- 5.0L V8 (305 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
- 4.3L V6 (262 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
- 3.8L V6 (231 cu in) — naturally aspirated, gasoline
Body styles covered
- 2-door coupe

Known issues on the 1986 Monte Carlo. Four recalls are on the federal record for this year. Two of them concern the push-pull headlight switch, whose electrical contacts can make and break intermittently so the headlights flicker or go out altogether in severe weather or at night. A third covers replacement fuel filters that can seal poorly at the connection and leak fuel near an ignition source, and the fourth covers replacement oil filters that can lose engine oil the same way. Six complaints are on record, the largest share on the power train. Lighting circuits, fuel plumbing and engine diagnostics are all covered 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.
