2005 TB LT I6 4.7, Built January 2005
I've been looking at different threads and been asking some friends and I can't seem to figure out how to fix this issue. My engine runs really rough when at idle (Drive Gear) for example when sitting at red lights, etc. In park it's not quite so bad. The engine will then idle real low, and shut off with the low oil pressure light coming on as the engine shuts off. The light is coming on (my guess is because it idles so low that the engine isn't pushing the pressure so it kicks the light on). What our conclusion has come to, is that with my Trailblazer having 132k miles on it that the Mass Air Flow sensor may have some debris and need cleaning. I cleaned the throttle body and it's back to new. The engine still runs rough. I looked and looked for the MAF sensor and found through this forum that my model (early 2005, january) wasn't produced with a mass airflow sensor. So now I'm thinking maybe the cause of the rough idle and engine dieing would be the MAP? Does anyone have any suggestions on what the issue might be. Where is the MAP on this truck? You folks on this forum have been amazing in the past.. and even helped me win a lawsuit against a shady mechanic shop. So, I know someone will help me figure this out!!
Thanks a bunch!![Thumbs-Up :thumbsup: :thumbsup:](/forums/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
