ABS is acting crazy!!!

I have a friend that has a 93 SHO and he just called me saying that his car is trying to committ suicide by braking around 23 mph on its own :confused: . I need some help to let him know what is going on and what to do. Anybody had this experience?

Sluggish Performance from 95 ATX

I got my RED 95 ATX at 112K, with over $1000 worth of suspension needed to be done on it and the CE, ABS, and Voltage light on. So first things first, I started with the suspension and engine work first. I got all the suspension work done (Tie Rods, ball joints, wheel bearings, bushings) except...

Michigan SHO needs Engine repair help

Me and my mechanic just used some sort of pressure gauge to see if it was any pressure leaking out of the EGR valve and it held the pressure fine and we released the pressure a couple times to maybe push out anything blocked in. That didn't work, so since I do have oil in the plugs and getting a...

Michigan SHO needs Engine repair help

Okay I just came back from driving it and it seems that the CE light comes off and on as I'm driving and I do have a rough idle when I am in park, but no jerky acceleration. I do have a slow take off not near as quick as my 93 Green ATX with 180K (needs resurrecting cause of failing rod...

Michigan SHO needs Engine repair help

I just bought a 95' Red SHO ATX with 112K. Now when I first got it I had tons of front suspension work done on it and a recall of the subframe bushings. All of this time while I was getting this work done my check engine was coming on after the car would get warm while I am driving. So I had a...

Serious Engine Problems

Okay I have heard alot of stories what this cladding/knocking sound may be, but it sounds like the rod bearing problem is it, although for the last 2 months I thought it was a cam chain (which most mechanics did not even know what that was). So before I sell it I think I am going to see about...
