    Mine went away and has been gone for quite some time now. As far as finding a shop... just tell them its basically a trooper... I find it hard to believe that they will not work on it, its not something crazy like a lambo or something.

    Could it be the cold?????

    Interesting thought, Corrosive..... my "Check Engine" light went on Saturday and is still on, and it DID just start getting cold here in Connecticut.

    Long term update: It has stayed off since the last post and the weather has been off and on here. I have been looking like a moron at every fill up though, cranking it so much that everyone looks at the guy making all the clicking noise, lol. It was the gas cap no doubt and I am glad that debockle is all over.

    Check the codes and if it indicates that you have a large vacuum leak, (like a loose gas cap) it probably is the wire that goes to the purge soloniod on the gas tank. A common problem with the VX's and Rodeo's is that connection will corrode and or break through triggering the code and the check engine light intermittenly. Repair the connection.......problem solved.
