When I am turning and accelerating a light is coming on and I am losing power. The guy I bought the car from told me to push the tcs button. Something is wrong! Any help?

 

If both the TCS and slip lights are coming on, you're getting wheelspin and the system is dropping power to keep you from oversteering into a ditch. Nothing is wrong- that's the way the system is supposed to work.

 

And could be due to wrong wheel/tire sizing upsetting the traction control system

 

Is this your first car...?

 

Tire size. Do a search in that section of the forum for "slip".

 

quit driving it that hard and baby that thing, you don't always have to **** her hard!!! tenacious D

 

There is nothing wrong with the car -- that is a common issue if you have changed the wheel/tire size from stock. That change is messing with the TCS is all it is. The solution? Very simple --- just turn the TCS garbage off when you start the car (make a habit of it!) and you won't have that problem anymore. Pretty much everyone who has aftermarket wheels does that and it completely eliminates the problem --- and TCS is useless garbage anyway. If there was an easy way to permanently turn it off, I would!!
