Hello everyone, I was on Youtube looking for help and a person said to come to this site for more knowlegeable people. So here is my problem. Thanks in advance to those who reply.
2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT 6 liter
Car has approx. 185k miles
Car ran fine with oil changes and recent tune up ie air filter/plugs replaced. Trailblazer would be running on highway at 65 mph ,or any speed, and then suddenly die. Would pull over and car would start immediately with no problem.
This would happen once every 2-3 weeks. Very random. So I took it into mechanic who ran diagnoissis /scan tool.
Following items were replaced ,all parts were new . Replaced based on codes sent back.
Ignition switch replaced
Throttle Position Sensor
Thermostat replaced
Fuel Pump was checked twice and is fine.
Gradually instead of once every few weeks it started happening once a week, then a few times a day.
Car kept dieing while running at various speeds, and when codes were ran again two more times,same codes came back to replace TPS etc. In other words, codes are telling me to replace sensor, ignition even though the were replaced a few days prior.
Car is now starting, running at idle for a minute then dies before going into gear. Random cutting out at various speeds, idle .
My only guess , and I do not know a lot about engines, is that it is the computer box.
Any suggestions on what this may be or where should I start looking ? Thank you
