so iw as driving my 8... that light .. (box looking thing) under the oil pressure gauge came on, along with my No traction light.... then shortyl after
my rpms Dropped to zero while driving and bunch of other lights came on, such as one that looked liek a steering wheel with a "!" besdie, and the DSC kept flickering... anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong with it?????

 

The magical auto tranny fairy is very angry with you!

 

Sounds like you stalled.

 

P.S. I love you on the And 1 Mixtape Tour!

 

He's with the Houston Rockets now.

You stalled?

 

He totally sold out when he went to Canada.... yo.

 

lol i didnt stall it..... seeing as how i was driving and going about 60km/h when all this happened, and alston is awesome.. lol oh well.. i havnt stalled it.. i know how to drive..
i just dont know wtf is going on

 

Is it ok now....? Details ftw

 

Yep, it was fine after he restarted it.

 

lol

 

yup after i restarted it from a 60km/h stall...DER DER
dolt

anyways no.. same thing.. CEL is still on.. when im driving after a short period of time the rpms will drop to zero for a quick second then go back up to where they were (no problems with the car.. car doesnt die... speed doesnt decrees.. nothing) but when the Rpms go back my Traction light is on.. then itll do it again every 5 minutes or so, the rpm will drop and when it does The Dsc light or the.. (i believe its the power steering light) flicker on, then they go away in a sec

 

Is the CEL steady or flashing?

 

and you haven't taken it to the dealer because...?

 

This sounds like a battery problem. If your battery is low, the tach can behave erratically and that might be causing the DSC circuit to be getting reset, too. Perhaps your alternator isn't functioning correctly?

That's my guess, but I would attach very little weight to my car mechanic skillz.

 

Not having enough fuel could also cause this problem to occur.
A low battery and bad alternator sounds like a better possibility. Better get it to a dealer.

 

becuase it happned at 8pm the other night... the dealer isnt open at 8 pm....
i took it the following day, and apperntly it was a couple loose wirese.. so they detached everything.. and reattached everything and it was fixed.... it was pretty much just a short in the electrical area

 

the electrical area in the front or the back.... the back is bad!!!

beers

 

At least the sound of the sewing machine did not become that of a lathe.

 

sounds to me like a intermittent bad connection to the steering angle sensor or wheel speed sensors. pcm thinks car has lost traction and clamps down on the throttle to try to correct. thats why you get the blinking traction light. what was the CEL code they pulled?

 

Never asked, i gotta go back.. went to start it today and it wouldnt start.. wouldnt turn over, nothing, i dont think i flooded it... i let it sit at 5k Rpm for 10 secdond before i shut it off.. so? it started, nothing happend,didnt turn over, so i remeber reading somewhere where you hold the key in for 10 seconds or something then do this? i cant remeber, so i did that, and then the next time i tried it like 5 minute later it started.. no problem, only thing is the CEL light is on again... ?? any ideas??? man.. i know i sound like a complainer.. but.. geeze.. it sucks

 

5k sounds high ... I think the recommend procedure is 3k.

But regardless, any new news?
