In this video my wife heads out on a road trip and I'm stuck with the maintenance on her car before she leaves. It's okay though, I love this stuff.
The first bit of maintenance is the oil change. After that I remove the throttle body and clean it inside and out. Then I service the transmission with a fluid and filter change and lastly, I change the 6 year old battery for a fresh one.
Hope you like it!

Push the ramps into the bottom of your front tires before driving forward. Also 4WD will help a lot.

That's what I was gonna say. Never had an issue doing that

@bdtaylor1979 8 ай бұрын

I always put the ramps up against the tires and then drive up them. Never had issues that way.

I use old rubber floor mats under my ramps to keep them from scooting along the floor. Works great.

Hi Jimmy The rough idle could be down to the fuel used? If you are using the fuel with a high ethanol content it could be a tribute to the rough idle especially if the engine is designed to run on unleaded fuel with no ethanol percentage. Another factor could be the small bypass tube in the throat of the throttle body may be restricted, plus check the pcv unit and hoses a slight deterioration of the hoses could be a factor to the rough idle. The last thing I can think of is the electronic map throttle setting is slightly off at idle setting and is being used in a constant setting instead of a variable throttle setting.

My advice for getting on ramps is to use right foot on the accelerator in conjunction with your left foot on the brake pedal with slight pressure on it as you go up the ramp. Once you clip the spot from the incline to the flat of the ramps their is no way you can react fast enough from your right foot only from the accelerator to the brake pedal. I have almost ran off the end of the ramp before I leaned that. I was hanging on the edge with the tire over. I needed someone to put a jack and lift the car before I could release the brake. That was 40 years ago and I have never done it again due to this method. Plus slamming on the brakes and dragging the ramps puts too much stress on the plastic ramps in a way they were not designed to hold weight or stress.

Besides cleaning the throttle body you need to either clean or replace the tps sensor, they both will cause rough idle.

@tysoncurrie7745 7 ай бұрын

I have a 2007 trailblazer with the same straight 6 4.2L engine. The rough idle is a common problem with these engines and the problem and fix is the VVT solenoid (Variable Valve Timing solenoid). The common symptoms of a bad one is a rough idle at stops and accelerations. If you don't keep your engine oil clean, there is a really fine filter screen on it, that clogs up and causes it not to work properly. You can take it out easily since there is only one 10mm bolt that holds it in place, right above the power steering pump, which you would have to loosen and move to be able to replace the VVT solenoid. I have had to replace this VVT solenoid a couple of times since I have owned my 2007 trailblazer, due to it malfunctioning and not working correctly even after cleaning it. I have always used the original GM manufactured part when replacing it as well, and it runs smoothly after replacing it. Try replacing this part to solve your rough idle problem.

A large plastic kitty litter box works great for dropping the transmission pan if it doesn't have a drain plug. It's wider and longer than the pan and can catch all the fluid you drop.

@antwonhughes7121 8 ай бұрын

One thing you have to realize is that if you do not change your trans fluid no more than after five or ten years there's no point of doing it now because you are risking the chance of it slipping because the fluid is holding the meddle friction which mean when you changing it you losing more friction so that causes the trans to slip just to keep in mind

@dontderockmerizz3211 7 ай бұрын

At 60 some thousand miles it’s perfectly ok to change it. Now for a trans that has 150k & tar black fluid then yea, don’t change it. His fluid looked fine.

The rough idle can be a vacuum leak or a fuel pressure issue. Since you have already addressed spark and air filter, etc.

Attach those ramps with a tape to the ground.

Luckily the rocker panel on Avalon was made of plastic and it did not bend to bad like it could be with metal.
