HELP! The VX won't stay running

[nfpgasmask]

Well Clint, that's good news. You down for a meet up next weekend?

I wonder if there are any VXers from Sacramento that would come over for a meet...

Well I changed the Idle air control valve and so far that seemed to do it. I also changed the PCV valve and now the check engine light came on. I took it to AutoZone to get the code and it is calling for bad O2 sensor. Apparently there are four and they are 50 a pop. I don’t really want to change them all if only one is bad. Any suggestions?

At least it seems to be running normal.

Before you buy any reset your ecm, it may be just a different reading then it was used to. I was getting bad o2 sensors and disconnecting the battery for 30 mins to reset seemed to have fixed it.

Okey Dokey

Well after changing the Mass air flow semsor, the Idle air control and the PCV valve we'er all good. The Check engine light was on and on the way home from the downfall of mom and pop stores(Wal-Mart) the light turned off!!!!

So everything seems groooooovy.

Thanks to everyone for all the advice.

Guys

First let me say it feels good to talk with other people who share the same problems as I do with my Vehicross. You guys have no idea how many times I have asked people about my problem and they have looked at me like I had 3 heads. Or mechanics that have no idea how to deal with this issue because I drive a Vehicross anyway.....

I don't know much about cars so you are really going to have to spell this out for me but the problem described here is the same one I have. One day the car runs fine the next not so good, when I let me foot off the accelerator the car turns off, it will rev up really high when I start the car it will rev up and down on it's own at times. So how did you finally fix the problem? Please spell it out for me because again I don't know much about car parts. Thanks
