strange problems with buddies Goat
my buddy has a 2004 ls1 goat with the autotragic and he is having some strange problems that I think are all intertwined with each other and all happen at the same time.
Every so often the brake lights-tail lights wont work along with cruise control and if you put the car in drive and try to accelerate from a full stop it sputters horribly and has a hard time getting out of it till it hits second gear. That is with traction control on. But when you turn it off it will accelerate normally. I am completely stumped. I have searched and found nothing on this. Anybody have any idea what is going on?
thanks in advance.

I'm just guessing here, but sounds like it might be a bad ground or low voltage problem.
it only happens with trac on and in 1st gear?

blacker than wesleysnipes- 98' trans am
abs/traction control issue..if i am not mistaken doesn't the gto's traction control use throttle control..if so then if the traction control is giving off bad signals...it would be cutting fuel etc ..whuch would explain the sputtering...but actually..apon reading it more..it is definitely a electrical issue ..electrical issues are more then likely causing scewed outputs from sensors and so forth.

I agree...sounds like an electrical gremlin. I'm not sure how the brake lights would play into the traction control but they should play into the cruise control. I would probably start at brake light sockets since they're easy to check. Look at those for corrosion.
