Broke down and acts like it had a stroke 2009 Chevy Traverse

2009 chevy traverse

Had a misfire cylinder5, needed to change plugs, drove for a week and it broke down and acts like it had a stroke, Please advise Thanks


First thing to do would be to pull any stored check engine light codes. Next thing would be to repair anything related to those codes. Just about any auto parts store will do this at no charge. Though they may try to sell you something, you don’t have to buy. Once you have the codes you may post them in the comments below.

Since the vehicle was just worked on, double checking anything that was touched during the work would also be a good place to look. If the air filter intake clamp was left loose and it came off it would cause an issue as described.
