Ok IT IS NOW FIXED WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!
My brother-in-law brought me his 2004 Trailblazer that had an extremely rough idle and would die if ya thought about the air conditioner and all! So he had replaced the cam sensor DIDNT HELP, he replaced the spark plugs DIDNT HELP, he replaced the fuel filter DIDNT HELP, so he asked me about it says alot of people are having a rough idle problem so after more searching on the problem I ran across a fella talking about the CAM ACTUATOR SOLENOID and explained all about what to look for and such and low and behold new solenoid later purrrrrs like a new one!!! In case anyone wonders where it is look right above the power steering pump there is a plug in the side of the engine there with electric wires running to it. One of the signs of being bad is oil inside that 2 wire plug just pull it off and look in it. Now to remove it you will have to take the power steering pump loose so it will move back out of the way so you can pull the solenoid out of the engine if ya get it out look on the end there are grooves running around it with little screens on them see if any are gone or coming apart, this usally sets a P0016 code which is stuff interfering with the sensors inside. If there is any oil in the plug or any screens missing then it will have to be replaced, if you are experiencing a rough idle but runs fine usally otherwise then 9 out of 10 this is your problem expecially after pulling all your hair out and replacing half the engine....LOL well good luck L8terrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

curious to know if it would have been cheaper to bring to the dealer for repairs.

:sarcasmsign:

Come on now, you know better than that..why spend 80 bucks to have the dealer or other professional diagnose the problem and then fix it, when you can spend days and weeks and lots of money putting parts on it you didn't need until you finally get lucky and back into what was causing the problem to begin with:rofl:
Remember the DIY rule of thumb...avoid professional intervention..keep throwing parts at it until one of three things happen
1. you give up and live with it
2. you run out of money
3. you throw enough parts at it until you accidently fix it.


By the way, congratulations that you finally got the problem corrected

Would dealer of been cheaper LOLOLOLOL.............thats my answer! The Dealer part was $90.65 and 15 minutes to put it in.............................The Dealer scanning it Lets say $100-150 and maybe luck up on what it was oh Plus labor @ $75 an hr. then taking it back because they replaced a part that they charged ya 4x the price on and sorry it wasnt the problem but it was "..showing us it was bad hmmmm.." then they will try and say well our master mechanic will look at it and that shouldnt take more than say the rest of the day before he has the time..then so on and so on so on so on.....NAH I Dont do Dealers I will research what the problem is and work on it and solve it myself like I told him just because it says so and so sensor is bad dont mean it is just means something has set off that sensor but anyways enough rambling it is fixed now just wanted to let people know what it was on this one so might be something they want to check into when all else has failed so good luck peoples!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much bootleg. I am not sure if we are having the same symptoms but my car is running terrible and i did take mine to the dealer. They had no clue what is wrong with it but they were willing to throw parts at it and guess, only difference is that they could not fix it but charged me anyways. Lots and lots of money. I, myself will try your solution and see if that fix my problem. The dealers are good for some things but you have to have large pockets to make it work. They told me they have no clue why my car is stalling, so they recommend guess work and parts or leave it til it dies for good. Well thats not good enough for me since my wife and 4 kids use that car as the primary transport. I heard everything from cam sensor to throttle body to clutch fan to ignition switch and trust me i did replace them all, not clean but replace. So thanks again and i'll let you know if that solution was the right one for me.
