Vcross newbie wanting info

[VcrossEbRd]

Hi all!
Just joined and have a few questions about servicing my awesome VX!
first of course is the dreaded CEL. I just purchased my VX a couple weeks ago and have just now started doing some preventative routine maintenance. To start, changing the oil. Now I have done this and started back up a noticed the CEL is on! Capacity is at full on the dipstick and have checked 3 times to be sure. When I bought it was not on and actually drove the VX two different times a few days apart and light was not on. I have owned in the past an '88 Trooper, a '92 Trooper, and currently still own a '96 SLX, and now a '99 VX, so I am pretty familiar with Isuzu. Just looking for some input here.
Haven't uploaded pics of my VX but will soon!
Thank you in advance....

go to Advance or Autozone and get what the CEL is and come back here.

[VcrossEbRd]

Thank you yellow... That is my next journey

Welcome to the addiction....

Gas cap is good. I just thought it was strange that light was off before the oil change and now is on after and I haven't even taken it out of the garage!
Ugh...

[VcrossEbRd]

Oh and thanks for the welcome. Glad to be here

Welcome.... we were all once a newbie..... now more like an vxaddict.

As for your problem. cel shouldn't have anything to do with the oil change. Have the vehicle scaned and report back. Many problems can trigger the cel.

Egr is always a favorite for the cel.

[VcrossEbRd]

Thanks for the input. I will get it scanned....

might want to disconnect the battery for a bit and see if it even comes back on

[VcrossEbRd]

thanks! will try that this evening....

I saw this VX on CL a little while back. Looks good and unique paint. I thought the ad said it needed repairs, but I could be remembering wrong.

Welcome.

Welcome.

yeah, I remember this one also…we kind of laughed that the CL pic was taken through a window with reflections, but really cool looking colors!

Hey Billy, wasn't there a guy in Phoenix that had an Ebony like this, had minimal miles, something like <20k, and about 3-4 yrs ago was asking nearly $20k….didn't it also have the red accents??? Anybody???

[VcrossEbRd]

Well yea it was on Cl here in Dallas and ended up buying it. 118k and seems to run great for the 200 or so miles I've put on it thus far. Brakes need to be done soon and I still have to get the CEL code checked.
Sorry for the pic thru the window, it's the only one I had from the Cl post. I will take my own this wkend and take this one off here.
Thanks again for everyones input...

wasn't a negative on you, just funny a person trying to sell a vehicle would use a pic like that.
