I will try that, I had the battery disconnected a number of times, but never with the brake on. I also cleared codes on it many times. The engine light is still on but I have only one code now, its the vehicle speed sensor... Yet to find out which one. Sadly the car was not freeAfter all this it should have been!
ditto cardoc's request. Codes shouldn't be disregarded. Is the one current code P0500? If so, I believe that code would cause several failsafe conditions including engine rpm limiting.The engine light is still on but I have only one code now, its the vehicle speed sensor...
cardoc might be on the right track -- it could be an ABS issue, rather than one of the vehicle speed sensors on the transmission.Can you scan other systems for error codes? TCM? ABS?
What electronics were removed from the car for the repairs? Or swapped due to damage?
Is the right front bearing good? Harness from the sensor good? Ground at the ABS unit connected?The car still has the right front abs sensor code, I replaced the sensor with a new one...?
