    sweet, thanks guys... im glad thats its nothing major, just a little crappy gas (which doesnt surprise me in greeley)

    once again, the site saves me lots of money

    im sure it would have costed me a couple of hundred dollars to have a shop tell me that i used bad gas

    uh oh...

    im throwing all type of check engine's again. i didnt get time to drop by autozone and have them read it for me. but just about every time i drive the VX im getting a check engine light again.

    i talked to a friend of mine who is going to school for mechanics and he said that the knock sensor is a 1 wire sensor on the block...he quickly looked at my VX and guessed that its underneath the intake manifold on the front side.

    im gonna swing by autozone today and have them give me the engine code, but im guessing its the knock sensor again. since last time i posted this i have been running octane booster in my tanks and its still not fixing it...so i dont think its just bad gas. so now i am going to delve in deeper because i dont want it to cause an issue in the long run.

    is there a chance that a valve needs to be adjusted? (i only have 8k miles on my motor) wouldnt that be something that the shop that put it in would be responsible for??

    just making me worried before i drive to moab and wheel all week, then head to lake havasu and wheel there, then back to colorado....

    thanks guys
