2004 Trailblazer V6 Engine Won't Idle After Alternator Replacement: P0016 Code Fix
My 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer with a V6 engine suddenly stopped idling after replacing the alternator. The vehicle now exhibits a P0016 diagnostic trouble code and will not stay running at idle. I've confirmed the alternator is functioning properly, but the issue persists. Could this be related to a misalignment or damage during alternator replacement? Any insights on how to diagnose or fix the P0016 code in a 2004 Trailblazer V6 engine?

I checked the alternator function and it's working fine, but I suspect that the replacement might have disturbed the crankshaft position sensor wiring. It's worth inspecting the sensor connections and ensuring no physical damage occurred during installation.
