I may have a problem but I am not sweating it.

Do you have HFCs on the car? If so, that is probably what caused it.

Had a Service Engine Soon light on last week (I've been off the grid and hadn't driven it in about four months). When I attempted to drive, it started fine but wouldn't accelerate above 2000 rpm...I assumed it was the "limp mode" so I parked it. Tried the next day and it ran fine (the light was still on). Took it to the dealer and they found a VVEL code, ordered the solenoid. Haven't had the light come back on but will have them install the solenoid when it comes in this week.

The dealership called and said that the car was running fine. They said they perform several test where it acted up but over time it got better till it ran fine. They are not sure what caused the issue. "Every now and then we get a car in that acts up and we can't figure out why and then it runs fine." So far the car has ran fine since then.
