sounds like a speed sensor problem

That or the wiring. No sigmal to the computer would trigger your check engine light.

Thank you for the replies everyone!

I took my VX to the shop this morning, and just got a call from the mechanic... it is the Speed Sensor that went bad.

I asked him if it would be a problem to drive until I could get the part in, and he said it should be fine- I just won't have a Speedometer until it's fixed. (again, I have an electronic one in my DVD/Nav system that should be fine for now)

So now my question is this: is there a difference in Speed Sensors?

I looked on eBay, and the price varies from $30-$300! This one being the cheapest:

The part is apparently brand new, from a power seller who sells a lot of these for different vehicles, and with shipping from Wisconson to Chicago, I could have my VehiCross fixed next week!

So, does that part look okay? And (I could be wrong but...) it looks like an easy fix to just replace the sensor myself, now that I know that's what's wrong. Can/should a car noob like me fix it myself with the right parts, and how would I do it...?

Thank you again to everyone for your advice and help~!!

So I got the new Speed Sensor in the mail yesterday... still wondering if this is a fix I can do myself...

Can anyone help by telling me where the Speed Sensor is located on the VehiCross?

A little help here? Please...?

Thanks~!!
