I did used an injector gas additive but it didnt help.
Where on the engine is bank one?
My local tire guy checked the vacume hoses and said they looked ok. He said up by the front passenger side of the engine he thinks he hears a vacume sound, but then again he never saw a VX before and who knows how many troopers he knows the sound of. This could also just be the sound of the air rushing into the intake .
I hate to bring it to the dealer because I dont trust them and a 2 hours job can be billed as four!!!
ANY SUGGESTIONS?
David - I've been getting this same code off and on for the past month or so, but only when go to my girlfriend's house. You haven't been going to my girlfriend's house too, have you?? The first few times it happenned, I figured it was a result of the oiled K&N and the removal of my MAF screen - I know people here said those things could cause a check engine light. But later I began to realize that it only happens when I go to her house - usually after get there and then start the car to go somewhere I've decided it is possessed - or maybe jealous as someone else suggested! Sorry I didn't offer any help - just wanted to know if you've been sneaking over to my girl's house!
