    Great video! I just replaced the alternator on my 2004 Envoy. It is still idling a little rough and hope that cleaning the TB helps out. These SUVs are solid! Had mind for 17 years.

    I had a rough idle on my 06 and this made all the difference in the world. So much so that I thought the engine died every time I came to a stoplight. Nope , just super smooth.

Didn’t end up taking the whole throttle valve out just hosed down a towel with cleaner and wiped the inside and the flap and around the inside of it for now. Running a lot better. Was having low rpm problems when in park and when just idled at a stop. Plan on taking the whole thing off next time I’m off and doing a thorough clean like u did. Also changed the plugs. Noticed the first plug and coil pack wer pretty jacked up but the rest wer fine have u seen that before?

      It could be alot of different issues. Could be a transmission issue not shifting or in limp mode. Could be a timing issue like the camshaft position solenoid and sensor or fuel issue. I even seen one that had a bad fan clutch and it would cause it have trouble accelerating. Or could be worn internals in the engine.

      I'm experiencing the same issues. I've read in some cases it does. That's why I cleaned mine but it didnt fix the problem but didnt hurt to do it. It has better throttle response now and idles smoother! I've also heard a bad fan clutch can cause these issues. Which mine is bad and stuck engaged so that's my next move.
