Well since were on the topic I also have a question, I have a 94z, from what I know it does not have traction control, yet the light comes on from time to time. Is this normal?

I would also check the ground and positive blocks on the passenger side by the battery. The terminals can really get rusted and corroded and cause some electrical gremlins. You also meant the brake pedal went to the floor? Did it regain pressure immediately afterwards, did you pump the pedal a few times, does the problem only show up when the dash indicators come on?

Generally not a good idea to highjack someone else's thread. Traction control was not available in 1994 models. When your ABS activates, the "LOW TRAC" light will come on.

Topic needs to be in the correct forum..... moving.
