ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO HAS HAD REPEATED A RECURRING PROBLEM WHERE IT WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE THROTTLE AT ALL WHILE DRIVING. IN ALL CASES THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARMING UP FROM A COMPLETE COLD START IN THE MORNING. WHILE DRIVING AT 45-50 MILES PER HOUR THE ENGINE WILL DROP TO IDLE SPEED AND THERE IS NO RESPONSE TO THROTTLE INPUT. THE DEALER HAS HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ON THIS ISSUE 5 TIMES NOW AND CAN NOTHING WRONG. THERE ARE NO CODES SET IN THE COMPUTER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER COMES ON. THE PROBLEM WILL CLEAR ITSELF AFTER 20 TO 30 SECONDS AND MAY NOT OCCUR AGAIN FOR WEEKS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE I BOUGHT MY 2009 COLORADO IN DECEMBER OF 2010, I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE ENGINE DOESN'T EVEN TRY TO TURN OVER. THE DASH TELLS ME THAT THE IGNITION IS IN THE LOCK POSITION WHEN IT CLEARLY ISN'T. I EVEN TRIED USING THE SPARE KEY IN CASE THE KEY ITSELF WAS THE ISSUE. IT HASN'T BEEN FIXED YET, AND THE ONLY THING I CAN DO IS KEEP TRYING UNTIL IT DECIDES TO SEND THE MESSAGE TO START THE TRUCK. THIS TAKES ABOUT 10 MINUTES OR SO OF CONSTANTLY TRYING TO START THE TRUCK. *TR
