    ABS warning light . . .

    My ABS warning light comes on and stays on. Has anyone else had this problem and what did it take to fix it? I read the owner's manual and it says to take it in for service even though it will not effect the actual braking capability. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Way to get ahold of your thread...

    I would side with Etl, my parents truck(Not a VX) did this and it was the filter.

    hm if the engine revs up with no issue maybe its not fuel pressure.. when i had fuel pressure issues, i couldnt get over 2k rpms on occasion and vx would sputter when i stopped at a light or somethin as soon as i stopped completely rpms would drop really low and would sputter then 98% of the time recover.. other 2% it would stall...

    had the occasional hard start as well (after 5-30 min of the engine sitting after driving) i would start and engine would crank for awhile before turning over.. and rpms would move sporadically between 500-1500rpms and the vx would want to die unless i kept my foot on the gas for a bit, then things would calm down and would drive fine

    if your engine is revving up normally i would guess a transmission/tcase issue like others have mentioned

    Yep, I suspect fuel issue. I got this same issue a few years back (pre-S/C). I changed out my PCV and fuel filter, but found that it still did it on occasion. I tore down the fuel rails and cleaned out the injectors really well and reinstalled. Problem solved. A lot of dirty work for a simple fuel injector cleaning, so maybe there is an addictive you can try in your gas to clean out your lines to hopefully avoid this process.
