I have a 2003 Chevy Trail Blazer. I have a intermittent misfire going on only when engine is under a load. When driving around town there is not a issue. So I am not sure what could be the issue.

Misfire only happens when climbing hills or cruising at high way speeds. I changed out the variable valve timing solenoid and it improved a little but the miss is still there. Am I missing something?

Check your coil packs and plug wires if applicable it could have just the sparkplug boots if so replace them. Chevy's are notorious for them prematurely wearing out from time to time.

SOURCE: engine misses when placed under load

replace the plug wires this will fix your secondary ignition breakdown. the egr code is due to a bad dpfe sensor which is for back pressure on egr valve.this will not cause misfire.

SOURCE: my 96 chevy blazer has a code

my 96 blazer would have random missfires.... sometimes more than one cylinder at a time... there are a few things to try.... 96 vortecs still used distributor caps... but they had such a high intensity spark that they were well noted for frying distributor caps and ignition coils... i would start there... also a few times i had to replace the crankshaft timing sensor.... it could be something as small as a spark plug wire... i would start with the ignition before spending money to check the fuel system

OK, if you have a misfire at a high rate of speed and it is intermittent, I wouldn't worry about it unless it makes the engine lose power or affects gas mileage.

If you want the engine to work perfectly, however, I would find out which cylinder is missing, and correct the problem by replacing coil packs or what not until it doesn't do this anymore.

Also, a bad O2 sensor can cause a 'random' mix that may come and go over time.

Trail blazer 2003 4.2 po301

Cylinder #1 misfire. If the engine is running fine the code will reset on it's own after 40 cycles of the ignition key. If the engine is running poorly it could be due to bad spark plug or coil pack.

2001 chevy blazer 4x4 check engine light flashes on highway no codes?

If it blinks and goes away, it is a "random misfire" that culminates before the light begins blinking. Sustained misfiring will result in a code, and the light staying on. If the light blinks and goes away, the issue is intermittent. Your problem usually occurs under acceleration or heavy load. The issue can often be solved with new spark plugs, though it could also be dirty injectors. The injectors on that vehicle are infamous, however I have been able to fix your problem with repeated use of highly concentrated fuel system cleaner. I use at least 3 times the recommended concentration of whatever cleaner. People rave about Sea Foam. I have used it and it works -- though I can't say whether it worked better than other brands I have used. I have owned 3 Blazers and 2 S-10's, including my current 2001 Blazer LT.

I have a 2000 chevy blazer 4.3l engine\is backfiring

Start by checking each cylinder for spark with a good spark tester. A misifre is either spark or fuel, so you can cut the problem in half. The engine light is probably on due to the misfire.
