Shocks/spring question
maybe all cars don't have traction control?? I can't remember.
Low trac has to do with the ABS sensors. My car does not have TCS/ASR, but if I get enough wheelspin, or brake hop, or on a dyno I also get the "low trac" light. You'll get it whenever the car sees a large disparity in front vs. rear wheel speed.

If he feels it cut back on power, would that indicate he has TCS/ASR and its kicking in. I guess it would be easier for him to just tell us if he has it or not.

HMMMM...I thought you had to manually turn the traction control switch on and it would be indicated on your dash...I've never messed with it before so I don't know. next time I start the car I'll hit the switch and see what happens...but I didn't think that had anything to do with it...I could've swore I read that you have to turn the switch on yourself...
No, no, no... it defaults on, you have to turn it off (like most e-nannies). SLP does make a box to reverse that on start up if you want. But here's the deal, if you don't see a light that says ASR off (or TCS off on Pontiac) than it's definitely on...

reeeaalllllyy...I'll do that....what exactly does traction control do then? and when it's disabled what does it take away from the car/difference? and can't I just have it tuned out with my gear install right now..
no you cant tune it out. All you have to do is remove the big black box solenoid thats above the driver side vavle cover, and buy a non TCS throttle cable and cruise control cable if you want to keep that. the cables are the only thing you need to swap if you remove it.
94-95 will work.

from what I understand the computer cuts power to the rear for a split second, allowing the tires to regain traction.
obviously if you swing your car out wide it will cut the power for more then a quick second but you get the idea. when the car believes it will gain enough traction it lets the gas pedal work again.
your TCS is hooked into your rear end via electric connectors, maybe the power isnt shut off from the engine maybe it stops the diff for a quick second. either way i think this is how traction control works.
