Well if your check engine light is on get the codes pulled. It will probably tell you the problem. Dont buy a cheap sensor at the parts store either. Spend the money and get one at the dealer and do the job right the first time.

Rough idle could be the throttle position sensor, or the idle air control valve.abs could be you need brakes or just the abs sensor is bad

SOURCE: rough idle

Barring any mechanical issues you most likely have a failed injector.

SOURCE: I have a chevy silverado - 5.7 engine. It runs

Remove the air cleaner and look into the throttle body and see if there is gas coming out both injectors.If only one is working then switch the wire connector from one injector to the other.This will tell you if the injector is bad or if it is not getting a signal.Check for good vacuum at a good vacuum port.Should be close to 20 inches of vac.If not then this could be a good sign of bad timing or plugged converter.Hope this helps.Good luck.

Hesatation and rough idle

Hi, your Car needs a tune up. Have the spark plugs replaced a fuel injector cleaner added to the fuel tank and replace the air filter if it needs it. Change the oil and filter at least every 5,000 miles also. I believe by having these services done your rough run will be gone...

What does a major tune up for a 2004 chevy impala consist of? What should be done and needs to be done?

New spark plugs, oil and oil filter, transmission flush and fill, fuel filter, air filter, coolant flush and fill, clean throttle body plate and bore, clean the MAF sensor, replace any loose or cracked vacuum lines, PCV valve, new air filter, new battery.

99% of the time all you should ever need for a tune up is new spark plugs, and a clean air filter and throttle body. But since your inquiry indicated "major" I gave it more critical thought.
