my TCS is messed up. whenever i turn the car on it, comes on like it suppost to. whenever the tires spin the tcs engage like it suppost to (the thing that comes on to stop u from pushing the pedal down... the cable i think) but it dont release. i think the throttle cable gets blocked from moving any futher, but after u get traction it wont release the cable and it gets stuck in that position. so now when i drive its stuck like that (TCS on or off) and i cant even go over 2k rpm cause of it. i dissconnected the batt nothing happened, i un-hooked the wire to the system and nothing happens. so what i have to do is stick 2 wires into the connector and hot wire it straight to the battery to reverse the motor to release the cable. any one knows what wrong and what i can do to fix it?

have you tried unplugging it and seeing how it reacts to that? also is your brake light on also?

God Damn! you spent ~4 years without replacing the traction control motor / Throttle Cable assembly?

There is not much that could fail in that system.

haha yup. well when i was station in florida and california i never wanted it so didnt really care for it. but now i would like to have once again. so u think i will just need to replace the whole motor/ cable assembly? i thought about that and tried to google the motor etc. cant find nothing. where could i buy new? i know i prob could find in a junk yard.
