01 trailblazer - rough idle - stalls
My 01 blazer has started to idle rough lately when slowing down or coming to a stop. It then ocassionaly stalls while doing this. In addition, sometimes when I start to drive it takes a while for it to shift gears and is very loud. The engine light goes on and off, this happens more when my gas tank drops below a 1/4 tank.
Per the auto shop it's the Throttle Sensor. Does this mean I need to replace it or will a cleaning work? Last edited by danniobrien; 08-02-2006 at 04:36 PM.

Yep, start with reading the codes. Low idle or stalling at idle has been fixed with a throttle body cleaning. Basic know-how, tools, a can of TB cleaner and some clean rags are all that's needed. Loudness is probably the clutch fan.

Re: 01 trailblazer - rough idle - stalls
So this is a 2001 blazer w/ the 4.3L V6? That would be totally different from a 2002+ trailblazer. If that's the case you might wanna try the S10/blazer board.

Re: 01 trailblazer - rough idle - stalls
The code is P0122. They told me it's the TPS. I did a throttle body cleaning and that seemed to work for about half a day. Then it stalled on me again when turning a corner after stopping.
Should I replace the TPS? Any other suggestions? I did post on the blazer board, but no help yet.

Re: 01 trailblazer - rough idle - stalls
The throttle body for your truck is totally different than that of the 2002+ trailblazer, but given your symptoms, I'd clean/replace the idle air control valve (IAC) or per the code, replace the TPS. To be honest, I have not heard of, or had any issues with the 4.3L V6 throttle body & I've owned several.
