I have a 95 sts, recently when I turn the ignition to the on position, the check engine light comes on, the screen reads traction disabled, and the cooling fans come on full blast,and the car won't start. The only way to start the car is to turn the ignition on and off several times until the check engine light doesn't come on, after that the car starts fine and runs like a top. None of the repair shops seem to know whats wronge with it, and the dealer wants $85 an hour just to check it out! So if anyone has had this problem please help.....thanks.
