    I mentioned that to him, he said no way! Just in case, what is a secondary solution?

There is some items that still can be checked : see below the sensor checks with the dtc codes

  • Check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S).
  • Check for silicon contamination from fuel or improperly used sealant. The sensor will have a white powdery coating. The sensor will result in a high but false signal voltage (rich exhaust indication). The Control Module will reduce the amount of fuel delivered to the engine causing a severe driveability problem.
  • Refer to DTC P0131 HO2S Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 1 .
  • Refer to DTC P0132 HO2S Circuit High Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 1 .
  • Refer to DTC P0133 HO2S Slow Response Bank 1 Sensor 1 .
  • Refer to DTC P0134 HO2S Insufficient Activity Bank 1 Sensor 1 .
  • Refer to DTC P0135 HO2S Heater Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 1 .
  • Refer to DTC P0137 HO2S Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 2 .
  • Refer to DTC P0138 HO2S Circuit High Voltage Bank1 Sensor 2 .
  • Refer to DTC P0140 HO2S Insufficient Activity Bank1 Sensor 2 .
  • Refer to DTC P0141 HO2S Heater Circuit Bank1 Sensor 2 .
  • Check the Throttle Position (TP) sensor. If a sticking throttle shaft or binding linkage causes a high TP sensor open throttle indication, the Control Module will not control the idle. Monitor the TP sensor voltage. A scan tool and/or voltmeter should read less than 0.85 volts with the throttle closed.
  • Check the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor using the scan tool to compare the engine coolant temperature with the ambient air temperature on a cold engine. If the coolant temperature reading is more than 5 degrees greater than or less than the ambient air temperature on a cold engine, check for a high resistance in the coolant sensor circuit or the sensor itself. Refer to DTC P1115 ECT Sensor CKT Intermittent High Voltage Diagnostic Aids or DTC P0118 ECT Sensor Circuit High Voltage Diagnostic Aids .
  • Check the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor response and accuracy. Refer to DTC P0106 MAP System Performance

  • Check for vacuum leaks. Vacuum leaks can cause a higher than normal idle and low Idle Air Control ( IAC) counts.
Check the IAC Valve on the throttle body. The IAC will not move if the system voltage is not within 9 to 16 volts...

Your mechanic should be able to do these test if he has the proper diagnostic equipment. if not take it to the dealer ... but this shoudl help some anymore woiuld have to be hands on diagnostic ..

Good Luck

Ask your mechanic to check the egr valve. If the valve is one of those three solenoid ones then it could be acting up and not set a trouble code. He may need to pull it off to see if there is a piece of carbon stuck in it.

  • DHigdon Nov 05, 2010

    Have him hook the truck up to the scan tool. Tell him to record the info as it is acting up. Then you could see something droping voltage. Could even be the tps.

My 1996 chevy tahoe has rougha rough idle and low r.p.m's in drive what can i do to solve this problem

I would do a full tune up first. Plugs, wires, rotor, cap and coil. If your idle is still rough consider MAP sensor, idle position sensor, or any other emissions sensors maybe suspect. They usually set codes that would trigger your "check engine" light. On the other hand check belts and tension pully if you have one. Lastley, change the fuel filter put in some injector cleaner. A good shop can test the fuel pressure from the fuel pump. I hope this can help.
