I have a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3 4x4
Traction control light is on and the check engine light is flashing. On the info panel, it says service traction control and service stable track. It is barely idling. Ive already done a tune-up and Im about to clean the throttle body. Any other ideas?

It's warning your hard (flashing CEL) to quit driving this and get codes read before you harm it. Post the #s we'll see what's next to do.
BTW - what was done in a so called "tune-up" and did any of this begin with doing that?

Codes are: P0300
I changed spark plugs and wires. It was doing all this before I touched it. Im about to clean throttle body.

Is that the only code that was in there?

I doubt that is actually true. I suspect a better grade of scan tool would find more in there.

What are the long term fuel trim readings?
