Great video. I had this problem come up after I disconnected the battery for a welding job. Than immediately after I connected the negative and started the rig started sputtering and rough idling a LOT with the A/C on. I disconnected the battery, removed the 28 and 10 fuses that are throttle related I’ve seen on another video. Cleaned the throttle body completely( without removing it though) I have also been told that there is a chance of busting the O ring behind the throttle. I’ve stuffed a bunch of rags behind the body with the throttle open using the gas pedal trick. There was a lot of carbon buildup around the butterfly. It fixed that rough idling for sure. Thanks a lot for the video I know it take time to make it.

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.

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.

Nice touch taking the plate off. I'll do THAT as soon as I get the TB off. Thanks..!

I'm usually not a fan of background music but this video was different. I actually enjoyed it. Good tutorial man. Keep it up. Just bought a 02 Envoy 4x4 I'm about to fix up for my new daily.

Your videos are awesome. Saved me lots of time, frustration and money.

This video just gave me the courage to clean mime. Thank you.

Oh and by the way I love the way you show your videos you do detail for detail you're awesome thank you so much for sharing these videos I learned a lot

Great video. Really helped me figure some things out. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Glad to find a envoy as I have one and very informative

Man you are a god send! Ive been looking for videos for the longest on how to work on my envoy. Took it to a shop and eas told it would cost me 800 buck to do a tune up .

Great video. I just bought a 2003 Envoy with "only" 154k miles on it. Been running a little rough and I'm planning on getting under the hood this weekend to do this, and a few other things. Doesn't look nearly as difficult as I expected.

It is so easy to do I clean mine 2007 trailblazer 208000 miles, after each oil change. Almost like a little tune up. If you have fat fingers like me may I suggest a magnet wand. Cleaned mine today and sure enough dropped one of the resonator bolts down in the frame😂

Good stuff brother worked for my 2004 gmc envoy xl thanks

Keep on making videos! You will grow, I promise! Love your videos

Nice video I used to clean my 03 as well as to tighten up my throttle body when I got a vacuum leak a few months later. Thank you.

Thanks man

I would have liked to see the startup and hear how it runs compared to mine. Otherwise awesome vid, great music, thank you!

I basically performed the same task but left the battery cables connected on my daughters 2006 GMC Envoy. It started right up and the old low rough idle was gone! I am about to perform the same service on my 2012 GMC Sierra 1500, it has the same rough low idle issue...fingers crossed.

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.
