CVPI Runs bad, if I disconnect the battery and

reconnect it temp solves problem

Check engine light was on and car ran bad, idled rough, no power and heistated. After a few minutes I reconnected the battery, the check engine light went out and the car ran great. A few days later it started to run badly again. I disconnected the battery again, reconnected and it runs great (for now)

Have someone run a scan tool on the car after the light comes on, This will tell you where the problem is.

Agree with reekor. However, do not buy parts based on the code it gives. Post exact code numbers here and we can guide you through the repair.
