Default new probs with the VDC!! HELP!!

i posted another thread about this on the 20th. same problems continue, the car drives fine for a little then all of a sudden its stalls for a few secs then the VDC and SLIP light turn and stay on. Now after that happens and i turn the car off, then try to turn back on it wont start right away. sometimes ill sit for like 10 min trying to crank it over. WTF is going on?

That sounds like it's more than just VDC. VDC wouldn't keep your car from starting.

Gotta love a follow-up like that. Yes, that could definitely be the problem. VDC (among other things) looks at the wheels speed from all four wheels. since one is dead, that confuses the crap out of it.
