wierd flashing lights in car

Hey all
Just finished up everything on intalling the Imp motor in my firebird. well I started it up and let it warm to op temp. Everything looks good, oil pressure, temp ect. But now when it gets up to temp and runs for a couple of minutes I'm getting the parking brake warning light and low trac light flashing on and off at same time? I also have a constand ABS inop and Air bag light on. My main worry is the two flashing lights. Anyone know whats going on with that?

Thanks
Josh

I have a cavalier and the Parking brake and the ABS both light up and flash, all I know is that my ABS does NOT work.

Hows the alternator doing? Voltage good? What about the computer, did you match the PCM up with the motor and program it for everything right? If the motor runs fine with no weird noises or vibrations, those lights shouldnt mean anything to do with something wrong with the engine, but they arent on for no reason im guessing.

Check your ground connection, the one that comes off the battery and connects to the shock tower, near the battery. These have a tendency to loosen and cause the problem your are describing.

jonaddis84, I didn't think about reprogramming since the motor it an LT1 out of a impala, but maybe I should? The car runs fantastic.

CSJTA, I will check that connection and let you guys know, thanks for the replies
