I found a TSB indicating that this is known problem and dealers are told to install a seal to stop water from draining on to the engine. I called chevy customer service but the refused to cover the install or the repair.

25 Car Stall problem of the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer

After coming to a stop the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer ext stalled. I brought it to the santa maria home motors twice. The first time they addressed the problem with the 30,000 mile service and said see if it happens again. The Trailblazer stalled again so they reprogramed the computer and charged me $85 to do this. Today my wife was driving the Trailblazer and it stalled again.
