#52 of 72 Re: 02 TB w/ start issues [dogday] by bc1739 May 31, 2008 (5:58 pm)
Replying to: dogday (May 26, 2008 5:31 pm) Your problem sounds exactly like mine w/ 02 TB. My TB had been dead in my driveway for 3 days. Nothing I could do to start it. I took out the battery and had it tested to find it was fine. I actually had the car already on the wrecker to take to the dealer. We needed to remove the key and could not get it out. So that gave me a clue that it was either the interlock for the tranmission or the ignition switch. I wiggled the steering wheel and finally the key let go. When it did I turned it over to see if anything would happen and it started right up. When I explained this to the tech. he said it was classic of the ignition switch going bad. Works one time but not the next. They replaced it and it has been great since.

Replying to: tkazee (May 31, 2008 11:14 am) I am having the exact problem!!! Short trips, it wont start. It cranks but almost seems like it is not getting gas. If I pump on the gas sometimes it will start but most of the time I think I am flooding it and I have to wait 5-10 minutes before it will start. I have been to three mechanics and the dealership and no one can figure it out. I could scream. I love this truck and I dont want to have to buy another one. Someone help!!!

Replying to: justwontstart (Jul 14, 2008 6:47 pm) My truck's problem was a bad ignition switch. Sometimes it started and other times it didn't. I figured it out when it would not start for three days and I got really mad and slammed the steering column. That vibrated the ignition switch enough so it finally started. Have your mechanic change out the ignition switch and see if it fixes it.   BC1739

#57 of 72 Trailblazer rough idle problems by maizj Jun 22, 2008 (8:07 am)
I have a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer Ext. After the 100k miles it started to rough idle. First, I had the throtle body and injectors cleaned. The problem is still there. Then , I changed the spark plugs , it seems to improve but the problem is still there. I had one coil replaced from one of the spark plugs after the computer scanner indicated it and still have the probelm. When the car runs it smells like it is not making a good mix of air and gas. I had the scanner put again and gave me these codes . P 11330-H025-b1-s1 Insufficient swithcing, P1171-Fuel System Lean During Accel, P0130-02-Sensors Fant Banch 1 Sensor 1, P0135-02-Heater CHT Banch -1 Sensor-1, P0134-Low AQdiwity Bank1 Sensor Sensor 1. Defitinely it looks like Banch 1 Sensor 1 is defective . Can someone tell me is this is the oxygen sensor that needs replacement or something else that I need to change. I am almost getting ready to go into the cliff and let the car go over it..... I love this car and I will ike to fix it, best of all I just finished payinf for it and I will like to get a relief before I buy another car but it seems like Chevy makes their cars for 100k miles only..... In the other hand I have a Jap and the one has 165 k miles and is still going strong ...... Thanks for your support ....

#59 of 72 KEEPS STALLING by terrilyne Sep 17, 2008 (11:29 am)
I have an 02 TB and all of a sudden it just stalls as i'm driving seems to be when i come up to a stop light or stop sign, It allows me to put the truck into park and restart it right away but it's not safe at all because as the truck stalls I lose all control of the steering and brakes (obviously because theres no power) I am a 21 year old mother of 2 and kinda scared I'm going to crash into someone I have no clue about cars and have been getting maybe guesses as to whats wrong but everyone is saying completely different things so I'm not sure where to start... PLEASE HELP!!!!! Replies to this message: verucasalt (Oct 23, 2008 4:28 pm)

Replying to: dogday (May 26, 2008 5:31 pm) I am having the same exact problem as dogday. 2002 TB is stuck in park, wont start, and when key is turned to "run" position the speedometer and RPM gauge bounce all over the place. Im ready to loose it, any help is MUCH APPRECIATED!

Replying to: terrilyne (Sep 17, 2008 11:29 am) I'm having the same problem with my '02. It does the same thing as yours, but only the first time it is used during the day. It doesn't matter the temperature, amount of time 'warming up', amount of gas in the tank... I've had it at the dealership during the day several times and overnight 3 different times and they keep saying it doesn't happen to them. They can't get any codes. I'm so scared I'm going to get rear-ended or loose control of the steering with my little boy in the car that I don't want to drive it anymore! Has anyone had any luck fixing something like this? Please?
