VGIS = Variable Geometry Intake System If I gather correctly, the system is controlled based on the RPM window set forth by the engine.

the reason the warning lights on a car are red is to alert you to the problem in the car. they are there so that if you see a red warning, you should NOT drive the car. take it to a place that will scan it (autozone) and see what they say is teh check engine light. i bet the oil pressure is an issue...
