Check oil pressure with a gauge. The sender is electronic and could be the issue. Also oil filter could have a bad check valve. Change the oil filter, oil and sender. If the problem is still there you have worn engine bearings and major issues are coming your way.

what are the codes saying? PCM Codes? Emmission Codes? misfire codes?

When the Check Engine light flashes it means there is a significant emissions problem detected and it needs to be fixed very soon. Continuing to drive with this condition will destroy the catalytic converter. You may have gotten debris in one or more of the injectors when the gas got low.
The first thing to do is get the codes read and find out what the computer is reporting bad.

Two possibilities, poor electrical connection at the cam position actuator sensor (CPAS) connector or a clogged CPAS. Check connector first for oil residue. The CPAS itself is prone to clog if the oil is not changed at the proper intervals. Unfortunately, the CPAS is a little difficult to remove since access to one of its bolts requires the removal of the power steering pump.

Start with cleaning your camshaft solenoid actuator. The screens are probably clogged or broken. A lot of times this will happen when you haven't changed you oil for extended amounts of time. OR you've switched from a traditional oil to a synthetic blend. The synthetic will clean all the sludge out of there and clog the screens.

Also, since it's a temperature problem, check the tightness of your plastic intake manifold bolts. The easiest to check are #5 and #6 near the fire wall.

The P0014 code refers to one of your camshaft position sensors being out of time with the other. Does not mean its bad but it could be. The P0128 code refers to your engine running cooler than it should. Your coolant thermostat may be stuck open not letting the engine warm up to it's proper temp. Now you did not say which engine you have in the TrailBlazer. There are 2 different engine used in the year model. Please repost with that info.

If the service light is on in your TrailBlazer, open the door, turn the key to ignition position and push the accelerator pedal 5 times, the service light will flash. flash your high beams and you're done.

Check gauge light can come on for a number of different things, from Low fuel to low oil pressure to high engine temperatures. When the light comes on check all the gauge's and see whats causing it, one or more of the gauge's will be showing an issue, Low fuel or low oil pressure, Low battery power. Any of the mentioned things can cause it... Figure out whats causing it then you can remedy the situation...

clean your throttle body....same thing happened to me and my truck runs great now.
