Engine Light on ... here was repair

Looks familiar. It's quite the common problem. I just wonder if it's a one-time fix or something that keeps coming back.

At 1600 miles my check engine light came on. I took it into the dealer and about 1 1/2 hours later I was out with the exact same valve replaced.

Haven't seen a report of another malfunction after replacement of the bad vacuum valve yet. Wasn't it a bad batch? A one time occurrence?

I had the same thing at 1500 miles, dealer said it was a bad batch the factory recieved from the vendor. 9600 miles now and no more issues. I guess it a USA spec problem. Supposedly no other country uses this part.

At 1000 miles the same happened to ours. Nothing since and we just turned 8900 miles tonight.

What is the build date on the car? Everyone with this problem should submit their car's build date to this forum. That way if we had a build window of lets say 6 months, everyone who has that date (or close) could go to the dealer. Your build date is not in the window - relax!

The sticker on the driver door frame shows a build date of 5/08.
