Sep 1, 2008 · I have a 2004 Canyon, 178,xxx miles since new. If you start getting low idle/ check engine light with "low idle speed" code after 30k miles or so, clean the throttle valve assembly.

My 2005 GMC Canyon 5 cylinder with less than 20,000 miles has been in the dealer shop so many times that I fought and won an extended warranty.
