Some Chevrolet Uplander owners report experiencing issues related to a dirty throttle body, which can lead to stalling and reduced engine power. Symptoms such as dirt and grime buildup, the check engine light activation, and erratic idle may indicate a malfunctioning throttle body, causing the vehicle to run poorly. Additionally, some owners notice stalling and difficulty accelerating, suggesting that replacement may be necessary. The danger of engine stalling while driving highlights the importance of prompt repairs. Hesitation or jerking when pressing the gas pedal is also a common complaint, with stalling serving as a serious warning sign that requires immediate attention. To address these issues, cleaning the throttle body and checking for damaged wires or loose connections in the throttle actuator control system are recommended steps. Regular maintenance and timely repairs are essential for ensuring the optimal performance and safety of the Chevrolet Uplander.
