The check engine light turned off by itself before I did anything about it. I pulled the P0014 with a code reader. I replaced the CPAS as a preventive measure from it happening again. The P0014 has not returned since replacing the CPAS. So yes it was resolved. Keith

Just shy of 254,000 on my 2002. Most of my repairs have been minor and to be expected like brakes, battery, tires, etc. "Major" repairs done; the alternator, the rear actuators, oil sending sensor (2x), transmission (at 253,000 miles), the radio (it locked up), front speakers (it blew out...

No problem at all. Thats the reason for the forum, to help one another out with an interchange of experiences. The spark plugs in the car had maybe 40K miles. All 6 of them were good. Just because I was already there I went ahead and replaced them. Hopefully I won't have to touch them for...

I picked up a spark plug boot kit at Autozone. It was $19.99 for all six. Its a box that contains the spark plug boots, the spring that sits on top of the spark plug, and the coil gaskets. I only used the coil gaskets. If you decide to go the same route make sure you check the box before you...

Mooseman You are correct. The airflow is much lower when in the heat setting. Here is something interesting. When I turned on the AC to check on that, the AC was blowing fine. It had good pressure and it was blowing cold air. I turned it to the heat setting and it worked as it should...

I brought my trailblazer to work today. I will test it out during lunch and report back. Is there a link for replacing the blend on the drivers side available? Just in case that is what it turns out to be. Keith

Before I begin I just want to state that I used the search function but I have found the results confusing so I figured I would start a new thread. When I turn on the AC in the car it blows fine on the passanger side. However on the drivers side the air is always hot and with very little...

Just to follow up. I got the job finished yesterday and the water must have been the problem. The car runs fine now with no misfires. Have a great day. Keith

Yes I did. I used a shop rag and shoved it down in there real good to get it all dried up before pulling out the spark plug. There were multiple cracks in all of the coil pack gaskets. Between the cracks and the notch on the hood seal it made for a bad combination. I am just glad it never...

I replaced the spark plugs less than 40,000 miles ago. I may have stumbled on the problem. In the process of removing the spark plugs I noticed that plug #4 well was filled with water. We have had a fair amount of rain in the last several days. It may be that that spark plug was shorting...

I got a P0014 code on my 02 Trailblazer. I pulled out the CPAS and it looked horrible, lots of gunk on the screens. Since my car has 254,000 miles I figured I would replace it. In the process noticed that the connector was full of oil. I replaced the CPAS and cleaned the connector as best as...

I got my assembly about a week ago and finally got a chance to work on it last night. It was a major ordeal trying to get it swapped out. Referencing the first diagram, parts # 34 & 16 are situated inside the case. The only way to lift the unit out is to go under the car and disconnect some...

I never heard back from NalleyGMC nor my local chevy dealer, which is where I bought the car to begin with. Parts dot com charges a handeling fee as well as shipping. When you add all of that it came out to the same price as the one on GMPartsNow website. So I ordered it from there instead...

Found the assembly at https://www.parts.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=store.PartInfo&PartNumber=89023340&VehicleID=72915&diagram=GN02097&Title%3D-4.2-LITER-REAR-HEATER-CASE Current price is $67.36 Still waiting to hear back from NalleyGMC. Keith

Roadie Thank you for that link. I sent an email to NalleyGMC to see if they had a part number specifically for the door. If I don't hear back from them in the next day or so I will order the entire enclosure. You guys rock. Keith
