    try disconnecting the battery cable for 10 minutes. Reconnect & drive for 10 minutes while the computer relearns the driving strategy.

My towncar slows down when the traac active light comes on what is the problem

Keep in mind that Traction Control applies the ABS to the individual wheel when it spins too fast, slowing it down to the speed of the other wheels so that it can gain traction.

The car runs at idle speed but when you give it gas it take in alot of air and cuts off. 1994 Lincoln towncar signature series

My first guess would be the MAF sensor. It is located on the breather tube I believe right after the air intake filter. Try unplugging the MAF sensor plug and see if you notice a difference. If you do-you will obviously need to replace the sensor. Dont think you can just leave it unplugged and not buy a new sensor either because your gas mileage will take a serious plummet...im talking like 7-10 mpg at best. Good luck!

88 dodge dakota has rough idle and stalls at slow down.

Change/thoroughly clean the idle control solenoid. It may be sticking and causing rough idling.
Cleaning it is unlikely to be more than a short-term solution.
