#327 of 397 06 Colorado Engine Misfire by colorado06 Feb 25, 2009 (7:13 am)
I own a 06 chevy colorado with about 54,000 miles and for last 6 months, I have had a misfire in the cylinders, I have taken it to dealerships and paid a whole lots of money and they can not figure out the problems. I have had cam sensors, cam actuator, fuel injectors, coils, the entire head replaced and it still continues to misfire. GM is not helping at all to try helping so I was hoping someone may have some advice for me. Everytime I take to dealerships, I pay and the same thing happens a week later, which means I am running on 1 less cylinder everytime this happens, it's getting very costly to keep trial and error.

Replying to: catscat (Apr 25, 2007 6:00 am) i just took my 04 colorado in with 61000 miles and the check engine light was not on at the time, they were still able to read the code, and they have replaced the head at no charge, it was only in the shop for 2 days.

Replying to: longrunner1 (Jan 26, 2009 1:40 pm) Thanks to longrunner1 for the details about cleaning the throttle body. My 2005 Colorado (55K miles) developed the same check engine code & a noticable low idle speed. I followed the cleaning advice & the problem is solved! Not hard to clean, but a little awkward to hold the plate out of the way & do a thorough job. Surprising amount of dark-brown deposit in there - I guess from the oil vapors.
#331 of 397 Check Engine Light by colorado06 Mar 16, 2009 (1:25 pm)
For anybody having problems with check engines lights and misfires. I just replaced 2 different ignition coils and so far that has fixed the ongoing problems I have been having. Its been running ok with better gas milage for last 2 weeks.

#333 of 397 Does anyone know? by tvukelic Mar 20, 2009 (2:53 am)
Hi, I'm new to this forum and I was hoping to get an answer to a question and maybe some advice. Does anyone know if GM is covering 06 colorados\canyons in canada with this head/valve problem I'm reading about? My wife really likes these trucks and up until I read some of the forum discussions we were actively trying to find an 06 crewcab. They go for around $21,000 can. w/ 35- 60 thousand kilometers on them, whats kind of scary is that there are alot of them on the lots in and around my area, could be because they are just coming off lease since they are 06 or.... maybe there are other reasons? Nobody seems to be aware of the head issues that I have mentioned it too (dealer salestaff). I have been trying to steer her towards an Avalanche or Silverado but shes only 5 ft tall and doesn't seem to feel comfortable in a fullsize pickup,I like the interiors in these a whole lot better but this gas mileage is miserable, we are currently paying $4.09/Gal for gas so this becomes a real deciding factor for us. Any input will be appreciated !

Replying to: tvukelic (Mar 20, 2009 2:53 am) If I were you , buy a different truck. These trucks are constant problems. Engine head defects, Wiring defects, ABS defects etc. This is ISUZU not GM and frankly it is garbage. Save yourself, get something else!!!!!! Take it from me my crew cab LS is a 2004 with only 42,000 miles on it. I dont trust it and they will leave you broke down on the roadside.
