    Ok so this wkend I didn't have as much time to work on the VX but did get the front brake pads changed and much better now. As far as the CEL I started with just disconnecting the battery overnight and it worked! However one day later, 25 miles later it's back on. . So now I'm wondering what I should look at next? I'm assuming most of you will say EGR. Again gascap is good due to a sign of pressure release at the gas station filling up.

    I am assuming that you haven't had a chance to get your vx scanned yet. I am a firm believer in changing all fluids when buying a used vehicle.
    Our cel would come on and off when I first bought it. I scanned it, came up with a code for the IAC, replaced and no problem since. Autozone will do for free, or sell you a std scanner for $40 (I think).
    Post the code when you get it
