Asked by Teencee Sep 19, 2022 at 06:52 PM about the 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT LT RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

yesterday i replaced a tension pully and belt to stop the screeching noise
and it worked. this morning i started the car and it started screeching again,
even louder. well as i was driving off it was acting like it was wanting to die
(turn off). i manage to keep it running with a little press on the excel. i turn
the car off at gas station and when started the car to leave, it was acting as if
i was gently pressing the excel (also still screeching) it was like driving on its
own. why? what does this mean? why is it screeching again? also i want to
mention that when i turn on the air or the heat the car rumbles and then it
dies.. errrrrrr PLEASE i
need someones help?

I would remove the belt and try to turn all the pulleys by hand. A pulley bearing may be on it's way out and not rotating freely. When you turn on the air conditioning or defroster, this activates the air conditioning compressor pulley, maybe this is the culprit especially if it gets worse. There is one other problem with turning the "air" on and engine dying. It's a dirty throttle body. Remove fuses #10 and #28, then clean your throttle body. Very common problem and cheap to fix.

Darn, I just saw this. I do believe this has a message center. Look at the profile I guess I did see "messages", or describe here.
