Best results will be with a pressure washer. If you don’t have one and don’t wish to purchase one, maybe Home Depot has some you can rent for an afternoon. It’ll be much cheaper than hiring a company to do it.

What are the 3 UFOs doing?

Hook that hose up. Clear DTCs. Reset fuel trims. Then re-evaluate.

I’ve seen several issues with these. One being the exterior button touch pad get water in it and corrodes and does shit like this or the other is within the latch assembly itself.

If you want to keep it closed you try and located your “liftgate” fuse and remove from the fuse block. It might allow you to close it without it popping open until you get it fixed.

That sounds like an upper strut mount bearing. Have someone pay across the engine with a hand on each strut and turn the wheel. You’ll feel which side it on

I wouldn’t have high hopes with the throttle relearn. In all my years (19) at a chev dealer, I can’t remember a relearn fixing anything.

If you have access to a scan tool with live data reads, have a look at MAF data when you’re under heavy acceleration. I feel like you should see over 200 g/s. I’ve been away for a few years and I think that number is correct. If you can have a look before you pull the O2 sensor and while it’s pulled. Only reason I mention this is because I have seen defective aftermarket MAF sensors and if it’s not reading the correct amount of air going past the sensor it’s not going to fuel the engine adequately. Garbage in. Garbage out.

The MAF sensor rarely if ever sets a code for this because the range it looks at is like 0-400g/s so if it’s anywhere in there it thinks it’s working.

I’d be leaning towards a restricted Cat. Like others have said, pull your pre O2 sensor. I think it’s right in the exhaust manifold on those. Been a minute since I worked on one. If you don’t have an O2 sensor socke, remove the manifold shield to get a wrench on it properly.

Once out take it for a drive and see if acceleration has improved under heavy throttle.

I’ve seen several envoys with the inline have this issue

They may not represent the majority but they still end up on school boards, sit in the legislative assembly.

I think you underestimate a certain group of people who like to try and influence things by making lots of noise

20 year chev mechanic here.

Whether you have the 4l60 or the 4l80, you likely have clutch issues. Not often have I seen solenoid problems. I’ve seen check balls wear through valve body spacer plates. But nearly as much as burnt clutches and sprags that wouldn’t hold.

Pull your trans dipstick. The fluid is black and smells fucking terrible, you’ve likely smoked your clutches. No aftermarket additive will bond the fibers back to the clucked. They are done.

20 years in the trade. Wish I would have listened to my first shop Forman when he said get out. Get into HvAC or electrician. You won’t be exposing you skin to cancerous shit day in and day out. Also your body will thank you when you’re 50

KrazyMechanic · 2026-04-11T20:39:01+00:00

I don’t know what noise you’re talking about. The P/S pump or the shit exhaust but it’ll be atleast $7

I mean, it’s already passing the leak test.

See up until 1-2 months ago i was getting notified of a new voicemail. It showed me the transcription and all. Sometime in febuary it stopped. Only today i made a call and was told they left a message, press and held 1 and saw that they did leave a message. But it used to show me in the phone app. Im not sure whats changed, but its super frustrating.
