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

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.

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?
