tcs light

[EmEaston24]

last night after the blink 182 concert (which was awesome) i was waiting forever to get out of the parking lot, so i shut my car off. and when i tried to turn it back on it wouldnt start, so i tried again and it wouldnt start so i gave it some gas and it finally started up. and the tcs light came on... but the tach still worked. i had that happen before but on a different engine. any input on this? thnks

The traction control has nothing to do with the engine.

ya but when the crank position sensor goes the tach goes to zero and the tcs light comes on

It could be the 10Amp fuse in the engne compartment fuse box.

Check that and let us know.

does your tcs light come on every time that you start your car?

[EmEaston24]

no just that time

[blueguy]

Like The OP TDC said...check the fuses

which fuse are you talking about exactly?

[TDCRacing]

It's a Mini 10AMP red fuse in the fuse box that is in the engine compartment. After you take the cover off, Look on the underside of the cover and look on the fuse list. It should say something like HVAC/TCS and something else.

checked the fuse and it looked fine. this morning i was about to leave for work and it wouldnt start. kept trying for 5 or so minutes then it finally fired up. the tcs light didnt come on tho.


^oh and btw, i love the aeroforce.

could this be the fuel pump relay? Are you aware of the tab bend to make the fuel pump go into high flow mode? What year is your car?

[EmEaston24]

its a 99 and no i have no idea what your talking about

[Liquifire]

read this.........not sure if this helps you at all or not.........http://www.grandprixforums.net/f81/m...elp-19450.html

[EmEaston24]

possibly. will putting the fuel pump in high mode take my mpg's down?

[Liquifire]

I dont think it would, but I have never done this so I am not sure at all......this is not a permanent fix, just trying to see what your problem is........

the fuel line has a return line. any fuel that isnt being used goes back to the tank. you wont use any more gas, but the fuel pressure will be elevated.
