Yes it could but without further diagnosis it's difficult to be sure. Manufacturers suggest platunum spark plugs be replaced after 100,000 miles. If your close to this it would be a good idea to change them anyway. While spark plug wires can fail they don't normally wear out like spark plugs. They can very easily be checked with an ohm meter. I wouldn't replace them unless I found a problem with one or more of them.

The labor sounds like it is in line with the standard labor guide if your Trailblazer is a 4X4. I can only guess how the repair went from oil change to intake valve. Was the "Check Engine" or "Service Engine Soon" Light on when you took it in? Did they tell you that your engine has a misfire that will require the replacement of a valve to fix? If so, this sounds reasonable. Otherwise, I don't know what to tell you without knowing all the details.

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.

Misfire #1 cylinder (autozone scanner) I changed all plugs, boots, and #1 cylinder coil. Went back to autozone and says misfire #1 cylinder. should I try replacing #1 injector now?

inspect the sparkplug plug first!! After engine is running for 20 sec (while misfiring), pull your #1 sparkplug and check for fuel. If there is no fuel replace the injector!!If there is fuel, post a comment for more help!!

Check engine light comes on read the code and number 3 cylinder shows misfire

Could be a bad plug, bad coil pack or bad injector. Try moving coil pack to another cylinder, if not that, move plug.
