Tcs?
My 98 doesn't have the switch for TCS, but if I hit a small amount of gravel/dirt going some what slow the "TCS LOW" light comes on, Is this Normal? or could the previous owner have taken the switch out and made the TCS stay on Permenatly? and How would I know if he did this?

It doesn't sound like it has TCS. When you lose traction, that light just tells you that your wheels are spinning. One way to tell is if your gas pedal kicks back up at your to prevent you giving it throttle. The dead nuts way is to look under the hood and see if you have the module right above the battery, and how many cables you have attached to your throttle body. 1 = TCS/ASR. 2 = No TCS/ASR. Two cables are throttle/cruise.

The throttle cable from the pedal and the cruise control cable both run into the TCS module, then one cable runs from the module above the battery to the Throttle Body.
Thanks

Thanks

Please look under your hood and see if you have the module right behind the battery. If it's not there, you don't have TCS. But from you description with the 2nd cable at the "VERY bottom of the throttle body", that means you don't have it. Your two cables are for throttle and cruise.
