95 z28 brake and abs light

I just bought a 95 z28 and the abs inop light was on but now my brake light is on. I checked fluid and its all good. It wont stop on a dime but still stops. And was also wondering if someone could tell me what would cause it to crank for a minute before starting.

Re: 95 z28 brake and abs light

For both symptoms, you need to find out what the car's computers (PCM and ABS) can tell you. See this topic: https://www.camaroz28.com/forums/com...95-lt1-874306/
See post #13 for a suggested cable fabrication.

Re: 95 z28 brake and abs light

The "BRAKE" light can indicate a difference in hydraulic pressure between the front and rear braking circuits. Could be a leak, air in the system, etc. As Gary indicates, scan it for codes.

Taking a "minute" to start would be extremely unusual. Describe the process from the initial turn of the key - does starter engage and crank the engine at full speed? Does the engine attempt to start at any point during this "minute"? Is there a strong smell of unburned fuel? When it finally starts, how does it idle?

You really need to answer each and every one of Fred's questions (the text preceding the symbol "?") in order for this to work. He is trying to get key information about your problem so he can help you, but he has only so much time for each member (note the 40K+ number of posts).
