check engine light, VSC light and starting from 2nd gear
Hello folks,
I was wondering if any of you have experienced having the VSC and check engine light go off? Mine went off after flooring it and the car now starts from second gear. Any idea what is going on and how to reset this?
Thanks

Need more details. I have never heard of a CEL in a bone stock ISF... based on statistics I'm assuming you have exhaust and headers? I would go to Autozone and pull the codes, then troubleshoot from there. We can help you out once you have the codes.
It's normal for the car to start in second gear when VSC and CEL lights are on.

Thanks for the offer but I'm up in SF/bay area. So far, no cel, hopefully it will not come back.

this just happened to me last week when i installed my headers. We tried using aftermarket O2 sensors and i got a cel plus the VSC and 2nd gear start. It all went away after the OEM O2 sensors were installed.

I had the same issue but it happen when my battery went dead. After giving it a boost the check engine light came on and the system said to check vsc. I took off the positive connection for a about 2min than I reconnected it and the check engine and vsc lights came off and car was back to normal. Still gonna go to the dealer just to check it though.
