got ya. That make sense to me now. Cause why the hell VSC and check engine light come together??
Anyway I am suspecting poor fuel quality (85% filled at Sam's Club) could be O2 sensor about to die..?

ok. the code is P0172 and also says something like ''bank system...'' or stuff like that..? The guy in Advanced Auto p said that it might be an o2 sensor but he is not sure. Ok how many o 2sensor do we have in is250 and which one gone? any suggestions?

From a Google search, sounds like the most common culprits would be the MAF sensor or an O2 sensor.
