you shouldn't just reset the ecu by pulling the battery.. use a OBD 2 reader.. hopefully there is an autozone around your house.. they let you use the reader for free.. all it is is a small hand held computer that you plug into the OBD2 connecter located under the steering wheel.. no one can tell you what the problem is unless you find out what code(s) are being thrown out by the ecu... by the way, the VSC light will always light up when your check engine light goes off.. by the sound of you problem, my guess would be a faulty/dirty air mass sensor...
