Help!

Yup, that is what I intend to do tomorrow, first thing. To bad there are no Walmarts in the city. Its at least a 15-20 minutes drive to the nearest one in the burbs.

Thanks for the tip.

You can get the obd2 reader at walmart.I think it is around $50. I believe the spark plugs are supposed to last 100,000 miles. The first thing you need to do is check the codes. shawn

You sound a lot like me....if I know what to do I can do it!

And I'd stay far away from PepBoys for any work. I bet 99.9 of their shop people don't know what a VX is and the other .1 have only seen a picture somewhere!

I had a rough idle problem once but had a steady check engine light...it was the spark plugs. The previous owner had changed the originals out for some really crappy cheap ones. Put in some plus 2's and its ran great ever since.

Well, I've done a ton of reading tonight, and all signs point to EGR.

So, my first goal for tomorrow is to get a scan tool and see what codes are being thrown.

If it is EGR related, can someone tell me what codes I am likely to see?

Also, if it is EGR related, should I replace my EGR or can I just take it off and clean it without replacing any parts?

Loosing sleep over it,
