You changed the spark plugs twice since 2006?

Every three years-- I do mine

Ignition Coils won't last 8 years,not all of them

You have to look at scan tool data & road test

Can not use a car for years & never work on it

Your dealing with time in years & heat cycles

Nothing at all to do with mileage

Usually 100,000 miles you change oxygen sensors

Yours are 9 years old,so they go based on time & again
scope them, for switching times & look at the data

Don't change your oil 3 times a year,you have engine wear

Could be any number of things causing your cars issues

SOURCE: car engine will not idle engine idles at 3500

Sounds like a defective IDLE AIR CONTROL valve, but before you can confirm you need to proof it out and also look the engine over for vacuum leaks and/or wiring problems. Also find out if you have an engine light and any stored code/s.

SOURCE: I have 55,688 miles on

The oil pump could be bad, or going bad. Oil pressure is effected by wear on the crankshaft main bearings and camshaft/s bearings. If those bearings are bad, that would make it lose oil pressure, but I wouldn't think it's time for a new motor at that mileage!!! I would find out what the actual oil pressure is, using a "wet gauge" or oil pressure gauge. The oil pressure sending could also be bad, giving false readings.

SOURCE: engine idles up, down and low while under 1000 rpm

It is the ISC motor, (Idle Speed Control) it costs around $30.00 and can be found at most automotive stores. If standing in front of car looking at engine, it is located near the front towards the left. Your throttle cable is connected to it. There are four small screws that hold it to a bracket, pay attention to the rod with a small dial type wheel sticking out the end and you will see it go in and out of that motor casing. Your's is sticking. replace that and you should be good to go.

I have and 84 chrysler new yorker it start up but when driving and i stop at a stop light it wants to die idles real low then somtimes dies any help

I'm going to assume it is the 2.2 engine with or without turbo.
It should have an idle air control valve that the computer uses to control idle speed. I would check that first. The throttle body may also be dirty.
If it has the 2.6 engine you have a carb that has an idle control motor to check.

Car idles at 2200 rpm. Slight miss at normal speed and idle. Bad MPG. Somtimes idles normally. Replaced plugs and wires. Engine light goes on and off.

Sounds like a bad vacuum leak. Check all the engine vacuum hoses, make sure none are broken/cracked/disconnected/missing.

Idle problem on a 2006 chevy trailblazer 4.2

The code indicates an issue with the Throttle Actuator control. This is a little motor on the throttle body that opens the throttle plates at idle. That control motor may be bad and thus, causing a low idle.

I hope this helps.
