I had the same problems in my 06 Trailblazer Ext a couple months back, in fact, the same problems to the letter. I have a couple things you can try from suggestions on the board here.... First wiggle the wires around, you may have a loose one between the PCM and the throttle body. If that doesnt...

2006 Trailblazer LT EXT, bought in July with 138000, got about 145000 now. I changed the throttle body last week. Otherwise its been basically trouble free since new. I'm second owner, first owner provided all records, oil changes, brakes and other various wear out parts. All done at the...

Good to know I'm in the ballpark. I havent done the math to figure exactly where I am at but.... I am at 17.6 MPG average since I got my 2006 Trailblazer LT EXT in early july. A fair amount of town miles in there too. I'll take it on such a large vehicle!

Actually when I did that Captain, both units were out of the vehicle and sitting side by side on the work bench. The old one seemed as a gear was slipping. Perhaps that was my issue all along, either the motor itself or the gear inside the TPS housing. At any rate, problem is fixed and can be...

After driving in to work today on a cold engine, no trouble codes, no issues. Runs like new! I am going to say that my issue is now resolved. :thumbsup: Thank you guys for your help!

Well, new throttle body is in. I put it in, and hooked everything back up and then I started wiggling things around trying to recreate my problems. Drove around for the better part of an hour, nothing. The telling sign will be running it cold in the morning but from what I can tell so far, I am...

I planned on doing that. Do I need to disconnect the battery completely or just the neg cable to reset the PCM?

Update.... I went over that wiring with a fine tooth comb, so to speak, everything there seems to be in order. Pulled the plug from the TB, blew it out with air, coated the pins with dielectric grease, reset the codes and put everything back together. I let the engine idle for awhile and tried...

Thats worth a look! I dont know if it is laid out the same or not but one way to find out. Its just so weird. The wiring for the TB goes right into the computer and everything points to the TPS being bad. I'll check it out this morning yet. Worth a shot.... By the way, I am getting another...

Its not the wiring, at least as far as I can tell. Everything seems to be tight and at least the reference wire is pushing a stable voltage even when I wiggle it all around. I tried that tonight. Nobody to swap one with and the only scan tool I have access to is one of the cheap OBDII readers...

Hello, I had originally posted this on that other site but was referred here. Great site guys! Seems a whole lot more active as well. Anyway, here goes..... End of August or so, I got a CEL, error code P0122 (TPS). Going by the wealth of information here on the forums, I gave it a cleaning and...
