(FYI--I can't find the quote box, but it is regarding CE light)

Aredubjay, I went through a CE light nightmare a few months ago. It was an intermittint thing just like it sounds you have. First time I took it to dealer, he said it was EGR sensor.

$300 later I had the sensor replaced, drove home, and the CE light came on. Went back to dealer.......

3 hours of inspection later, the mechanic explains to me that the EGR (i am pretty sure it was EGR, but i am no mechanic) valve itself was not working. They tried to explain that since I already paid for the sensor, they would kindly pay for the valve and I would only have to pay for the labor....about 1/2 day at $80/hr.

I kindly explained that they could go f**k themselves and they agreed to replace the valve at no additional charge.

By the way, they said this was the first time they had seen this problem (I have already heard "first time" way too much since I bought my SVX). They first suspected the O2 sensor, which is actually what most people on this site suspected when I posted the question.

Hope I just posted my first "useful" reply. If not, I will keep trying

Good luck with the tranny too!!
