After having received some deserved ridicule, I should provide further explanation. I'm an experienced "A" group driver at track events. I know how to drive w/o traction control and do so regularly both on and off the race track at *driving schools*. For various reasons, I'd like to have traction control semi-permamently disabled on my vehicle. I've JFGI and found info about how to modify the switch, buy a different throttle body, etc - none of which meet my needs or timeframe (no time to get the different throttle body before I need this done). So, I need a little help. Within these parameters, I want to disable the traction control, but not the ABS, which I do find somewhat valuable and I'm not prepared to turn off... yet. Any help appreciated. I've been told that simply unplugging the throttle body will disable that portion of the system. Does the timing also retard? If so, how does one effect that? Anything else I need to know? Thanks

The typical disabling involves getting a boot from a non ASC car and replace the TB and boot. TIe the connector off and you are done.

Mine is leaking now and it's a tough angle to get to assembled. Then again leaking is relative considering it's a tiny bit of residue and about 10 oz per year.. Thanks, Mark

I would be highly suspicious of miles and consider more how many cold starts you have. Heat cycling seems to be key with these cooling system parts. If you don't drive the car for 3-4 months a year and when you do drive the car drive it 50 miles a day, you can probably hold off for quite a while. At almost 200K the only things I didn't replace on my car are the heater cores, heater valves, etc (but did do all underhood heater hoses). My thoughts being if they fail I'll know, and hopefully know quickly enough to prevent damage. The car has never left me sit so a break down is tolerable at this point (that and I currently have 3 spare cars and a bike that I can *finally* ride again) Thanks, Mark
