(similar to that IAT resistor thing...)


Reason im askin this, is cuz i got a 96 sunfire and i wanna know if its got traction control, so i can attempt some good burnouts/peel outs on wet roads without havin the handbrake on...Basically, just slam the gas to the ground from 0mph and screech the tires a little bit on accel.
EFI? Where does Electronic Fuel Injection come into the equation? Where did 1996 and ECU's come from? That's when the US went to OBD II but still doesn't have anything to do with traction control...

A quick interweb search for sunfire traction control told me, "There is an unconventional headlight control on the turn signal stalk as well, and the traction control shutoff is on a switch next to the interior light dimmer, while the cigarette lighter is unusually close to the steering column."

Don't know for what year sunfire but might be a clue
