Anti-Lock Light and bucking during Accel. - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Drove the Talon to school today (first time driving it in about a week) car ran fine no issues. On the way home from school about 5 minute into my drive (car was moderatly warm) My anti-lock light flicked on for a spilt second nothing happend. Then at a red light i started to accel and the light came on before 3,500 rpm. The car started to buck pretty hard so i pulled over and the light went away. I drove off and everything was fine. My light will still come on every now and then during accel but no bucking, i noticed that when the light comes on my radio will flicker on and off. Any ideas? me and my dad are going to look over grounds this weekend. Also i have replaced my alternator about 2 years ago along with the battery.

Sounds like a bad or dirty ABS sensor. My GTO light kicks on every now and then when I do a burnout. I wash my car and it goes away so mine was from dirt/rubber/ect.

First thing I would do is clean everything up and drive arround. See if it kicks on again.

Weird that your radio has issues when the ABS light kicks on. Could be a bad ground? Check your battery terminals and make sure they are clean, def get a volt meter out and make sure you have everything all in spec.

Sounds like your battery might be moving around. Is it tied-down properly? All connections tight. Double check all your ground for tightness too.

i havent checked the grounds, i doubt its dirt on the sensor. the car is relatively clean and has been filthy and not had this issue.
My battery is kind of skanky, so maybe a bad connection there but it is tied down with the oem brackets and such. ill check connections etc.

The ABS light or the E-brake light?

Are you using a data logger at all? If you leave it hooked up sometimes it will throw on random lights.
