soarer129,

Your car has gone into limp mode. The computer has determined that there is a problem with the brake system (ABS and Trac Control) and has changed the engine parameters to keep you from getting up to speed and killing yourself or someone else. Get the codes read to see where it says the problem is located, most probably the ABS sensor on one of the wheels you messed with.

Hint: I almost didn't bother answering your post, and I'm sure others felt the same way.

I suggest you reread what you are about to post BEFORE you hit the Submit Reply button.

You have not used a single period, comma or question mark. Its just one long run on ramble and terribly difficult to decipher. Online forums do not lend themselves to "phone texting" methods and jargon.

Get back to us after you get the codes read and maybe we can help steer you in the right direction.
