I own a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer with 4200 vortec engine. Runs rough at idle and slow with acceleration. Had Check Engine Soon Light with P0301 code.Had O2 sensor changed, throttle plate cleaned and spark plug wires changed. Still runs rough???

    I have changed the spark plug but my engine light is still on. Engine stumbles when I start the trailblazer. It is shaky and gives kind of burning gas smell

That code means cylinder 1 is misfiring. Looked up a lot but I haven fixed yet. Looks like either the plug or ignition coil. Both a 15 minuets fix

Do you know if the plugs were changed, a bad or broken plug will also cause rough idle and slow acceleration?

How to increase idle on 4200 vortec

You have an inline six engine and it is equipped with engine-mounted electronic Powertrain Control Module that records hundreds of measurements per second and makes immediate adjustments of air, fuel, spark control, and valve timing to provide optimal engine operation. Your Vortec 4200 uses an electronic throttle control (ETC). The ETC sends a series of signals from an accelerator-pedal module using a sensor that relays acceleration-intent data to the powertrain control module (PCM).
To increase idle you will have to reprogram the PCM using an OBD 2 software. Have it service at your dealer.

2002 trailblazer oil pressure drops when stopped returns accelerating

Usually means the engine bearings are worn out, or the oil pump is weak.
As the oil gets hot, it gets thinner, which reduces pressure. When the engine is at idle speed the pump is not pumping as fast as it is at highway speed.

I have an 02 Chevy Trailblazer & the Service Engine Soon light is on & flashes while accelerating. Also has a very rough idle. Any idea what the problem may be? Thanks

Rough idle can be caused by dirt in throttle body or EGR system, but there are many other possibilities. The service engine light indicates the computer has detected a fault. If you can get a free scan at your local parts chain and post the trouble codes to us we can give you more specific repair recommendations.

2002 Chevy TrailBlazer Service Engine light is on. The car gives off a loud wind sound when pressing the accelerator. The engine runs smooth but less power.

This one is easy. The clutch fan is not disengaging. Mine does the same thing after it has idled a while but then will release (wind noise stops) after getting up to speed.
