Clean your throttle body with throttle body cleaner, must be nice and shiny. Do this with the battery disconnected. When finished, hook the battery back up and drive around for 20 minutes or so, so the computer can relearn the newly cleaned TB. Your computer learned some bad habits with the dirty throttle body, so when you disconnected the battery, it thought the throttle body was clean, therefore, you'll get performance problems. Especially when the defrost or A/C is on.

What is wrong with the radio of a 2002 gmc envoy when the lights on the screen flashes and I can not change the radio stations or from radio to cd player and the sound button will not turn up or down

Sounds like you have a screwed up microprocessor. You could try to reset the unit by finding the main power and disconnecting it for 20 seconds. If you cannot find the power cable, you could try to disconnect the vehicle's battery for few minutes, then power up and see if that helps.

My "GMC Envoy 2003 XL SLT 4.2 liter 6 cylinder",check engine light came on.every morning i start the car to warm-up and it's o.k. but then when i put it on drive"It starts to shake when i step on the brake...

First thing to do is to clean the throttle body and throttle plate thoroughly. While performing the cleaning, disconnect the battery for about 30 minutes. This will force the PCM to relearn with a clean throttle body. See if this helps with running and the codes. Also make sure the gas cap is tightened properly.

My 2002 GMC ENVOY SHAKES ESPECIALLY WHEN STOPPED AND RUNNING

Is the service engine light on? If so, take the vehicle to your local Auto Zone and ask them to check your Envoy for trouble codes, write the codes down and reply back to me.
Let me know.
