Hi I have an 07 envoy denali and I have a problem with my engine light being on. Took it to get a diagnostic check and the throttle position sensor needs to be replaced. I have replaced my altenator and battery in 2010. Now my bags that lifts the truck struggle and does not work on a daily basis, my lights may not come on and the oil gauge light is on (and also dropped down to zero) and service stabilitrak light stays on. Two years ago I replace the motor that controls the window that cost me around $500 bucks. I live in dc and I cannot pass inspection because of the engine light is on. On edmunds.Com there are many tsb issued for my vehicle purchased in that year. *Kb

My child was riding as a passenger in the vehicle for both incidents. *************************************************************************************************** *Tr
