Engine coolant hot 05 chevy trailblazer - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer

For the I6 engine, the actual thermostat is on the drivers side below the alternator. The coolant temp sensor is in a bad place. Approx 06' and up, they changed the location to the drivers side, wayyyy in the back. PITA to get to. 05' and older had it located right above the thermostat, was easy.

Since its an 06, its located rear right side upper end of engine...if it was an 05 or older , its located right above the thermostat housing...I said the later because you will sometimes have the correct model year but the manufacture put in a previous model years engine depending on actual build date...

it can do both at same time "AND"
unless you meant
it surges, then stalls.

hot or cold, or both (hot or cold engine block)?

You must not be in park, but in DRIVE,
tell the full story,starting from keyon.
or take it to a live person that can see this.

Could be a leaking head gasket or intake gasket.
The gunk is water or coolant. Water if the engine never warms up, coolant if there is a leak.

always check coolant level first, then if ok. check fan for a/c it should come on and run anytime the a/c is on. so turn a/c on and see if fan kicks on right away if not check relay.
hope this helped.

Any engine lights on? That would help identify what the problem is. Did you unhook the battery recently?

P0410

Definition
Secondary Air Injection System fault
Explanation
The air injection system is monitored for faults
Probable Causes
1) Circuit relay defective or fuse open
2) Check connector and wiring
3) AIR pump defective or hoses blocked


P0128
Fault Code Definition

• Engine temperature has not increased and/or reached the correct level within a specified amount of time after engine startup
  

Common Problems That Trigger the P0128 Code

• Defective Engine Thermostat
• Defective Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
• Defective Intake Air Temperature Sensor
• Defective Cooling System
• Low Engine Coolant
• Dirty Engine Coolant, causing incorrect Coolant Temperature Sensor readings
• Defective, always running Engine Cooling fan(s)

As for the po128 I would replace the thermostat first. That is the problem 99% of the time.

Good Luck

Check your coolant level, low coolant or air in your cooling system will make a "thud"noise in your heater core when the engine is under load from acceleration. The coolant rushes in to the heater core where the air pocket is trapped and then your hear the noise.
Start with the simple and make sure your coolant level is correct and then try to purge the system to remove the air out for your coolant system.
Thank you for using fixya and good luck

Driver side engine block behind the alternator.You need to remove the alternator to get to the sensor.
