#6379 of 6387 95 Tahoe 2dr RPM spasm by tsmith2233 Nov 05, 2009 (1:51 pm)
As i finished up a 75 mile trip, i came to a stop sign(slowing to a stop, of course) and once stopped, my RPM gauge started spasming from 200-800rpm. Make long story short, it has gotten worse now, even doing it when I just start it in the morning, actually died on me twice now due to it dropping so low. Runs fine when given some acceleration. Something to deal with fuel possibly? Fuel filter on frame replaced and still no luck.

Replying to: tsmith2233 (Nov 05, 2009 1:51 pm) Thanks for the reply I just heard back from the auto shop i took it to (just a local guy with small shop. heard good things). Needs throttle body rebuilt. $250. I've never had to deal with that before, so i didn't have a price to go off of, but i figured it wasn't horrible considering it's still only half of a new one if not less (i think). The guy seemed nice anyway and has a chevy p/u w/ a 350 too, so i trusted him. Hope this helps someone. Btw, haven't got it back yet, but will post as the outcome of the performance.

Replying to: tsmith2233 (Nov 08, 2009 7:30 pm) I got it back. It idles smoother than when I bought it (I bought it 3 yrs. ago with 163k on it...got 198k now). Very please with the work done. Costed about $222 for parts and labor. Check the price of the kit before you have someone do it though. Also, find out how long it takes someone to do it, check around. This will save you some money.

Replying to: tsmith2233 (Nov 17, 2009 3:26 pm) I know that throttle bodies get carboned up from intake reversion which causes idle problems but am curious as to what part(s) wear out that would require rebuilding?   Did he show you the bad parts or explain what happened?

Replying to: tsmith2233 (Nov 05, 2009 1:51 pm) No, he didn't tell me what was wrong. I was just wanting it fixed and it is unlike me not to ask what was wrong and see what he replaced. Last night I returned to school after that 75 mile trip I take every weekend, and I sat an let it idle for about 10-15 minutes (in drive, cause i was talking to someone), and it spasmed a couple of times. It made me wonder if he did a good job. Do you think it needs to go back to the shop? Replies to this message: 73shark (Dec 01, 2009 5:32 pm) tsmith2233 (Dec 01, 2009 5:56 pm)

Replying to: tsmith2233 (Nov 30, 2009 1:36 pm) Hard to say since we don't know what he did the first time. Replies to this message: tsmith2233 (Dec 01, 2009 5:56 pm)

Replying to: 73shark (Dec 01, 2009 5:32 pm) Ya that's true. I listened to it for a few minutes this afternoon while it idled. It wasn't completely 100% smooth, but close i suppose. I haven't seen it spasm like it did the other night thank goodness. But I don't know if that means it's ok or it will get worse. Guess it would be easy to know that if we knew what he did. I'll call him this weekend. Thanks for the reply
#6387 of 6387 2002 Chevy Tahoe - Overhead and rear [fan] climate controls stopped working by drpaviator Dec 01, 2009 (7:04 pm)
I have been thru the fuse busses (?) per the owners manuals and can't find the problem. It[they] just stopped working. The switches have never given any indication of poor contacts, and the rear blower just stopped - no indications nor odd sounds.   Any suggestions?   Pls advise.
