2010 GMC Denali. THrottle Body has been repaired twice in the last six months. Then it went down again, and the dealer identified two more idle body parts needing replacing for about six hundred dollars. I drove the car over the weekend while we were waiting for the parts to come in, and all dash lights went off and it has been running fine for over a month. I had it rechecked with the computer and now they are saying there are no problems and I am good to go. But now I have zero confidence in taking the car out on long road trips. Any ideas?

SOURCE: 2000 gmc rough idle

Im not sure if this can help, but my 2000 gmc sierra was idling badly. Replaced Fuel Pressure Regulator and my truck runs like its brand new. My service engine light was also on.

Change your Thottle positioning Sensor. My 93 lesabre did the same thing and i changed the TPS and it stopped.

yes it could be a fuel related problem, when was your last tune up, it could also be a spark issue, old or corroted spark plugs will sometimes not put out the correct amount of heat to ignite the gas correctly till it runs for a while, if the check engine light isnt lit, it will almost have to be something simular to this

SOURCE: Code P0121 on 2006 GMC

Classic signs of idle air control not able to cope with sudden engine loads. Cleaning should resolve this. Remove ducting from air cleaner to throttle entrance. Spray with carb. choke cleaner or WD40 spray and wipe back to the alloy finish. clean the the throttle plate and push the throttle open with your fingers and clean in behind as best you can. Clean the passageways to the idle air control valve. Remove the valve and give it a thorough clean up. Reassemble and it should all be good.

Cleaning the throttle body is certainly the right thing to try first. Make sure you clean the throttle plate as well.

Hello I have a 2001 Yukon denali 6.0 I called the dealer and gave him my vin to see if I have traction control and they said no. My prob is I went to get the tps and the one they showed me wasn't the one...

I suggest that the DEALER you called either lied to get you off the phone because he knew you were not going to bring your truck in for him to rob you blind on. OR the DEALER you called made a mistake cause he doesn't know what he is talking about and doesn't want to admit it. Happens all the time. do some more research OR just get you a Chilton and Haynes , thats what i do, I use those two manuals for every car I have to work on. the reason I use TWO? seems that when one is unclear about something , the other is Christal clear. No kidding. and on top of that, you can usually get the manuals in great shape on eBay Or even check them out at the library. at the store retail those two books are about 15.00 a pop. still a very good investment I say.

Low idle - no codes

There is a throttle body relearn procedure. But requires a scanner.

2002 gmc envoy stalls when turning and slowing down

I am going to assume the check engine light is not on.
I would check the throttle body to see if it needs to be cleaned, and check the idle air control valve to see if it is working. The computer controls idle speed by the amount of air coming into the throttle body.
The ac problem is probably something different such as low freon or a cooling fan problem.

I have a 2006 Envoy Denali...the emission light came on and now it will just die going down the road...wait a little bit and it starts up again. Help

{: ) There are several possible causes and a scan tool is the best way to pinpoint the cause. However, you can check your throttle body for carbon build up. If it is, it must be cleaned. Clean the air filter as well. When done, an idle learn procedure will be required to reset the throttle.
