I am assuming you have a Pontiac Grand Am.
You would need to have someone scan the computer for trouble codes to proceed. The codes will point you in the direction of the problem but not tell you what to replace or repair.

SOURCE: check engine light is on, motor runs rough, sometimes stalls

Go to Advance or Auto Zone and have them run an obd scan on it and it will pin point why your light is on and could solve your problem. This is often done for free.

2005 jeep liberty brake lights don't work, none of them but fuses and brake light switch are good.

maybe brake light switch located near your brake petal needs adjusting...its simply a push button that the brake petal hits as the brake petal is depressed usually u can just pull on them toward you and they'll "self-adjust" after pressing on brake petal...push on brake petal with ur hand and make sure this button is depressed while the pedal is down...

05 gx470 check engine and vsc trac lights are on, wont accelerate past 35

i had an issue with a nissan xterra and it turned out to be a Cam position sensor. Who would have thought? Engine light would be my primary concern, local auto parts store (advance or autozone) can pull the service engine code.

What does trac off and vsc trac symbols mean?

(Default is ON) this feature enables vehicle to automatically stops wheels spinning if car is not moving, means if you're stuck in sand for example, this system tries to transfer power from the stuck wheel to the other. if both you'll feel engine power is down to idle!!: this is to help you move or keep your transmission safe!. if you want to use engine power regardless if the situation you just press button to OFF! you'll find the gaint engine powering wheels to sping all the way!

Low power can't accelerate ch engine light jus came on hour ago

Hello;
You need to have the codes pulled and diagnoised. It could be the cam sensor, fuel pump, fuel filter, or the catalytic convertor as well as a combination. Have you cleaned your Mass air sensor?
Hope this helps;

Car 'jerks' while pushing accelerator.

take it to a shop and have them run a diagnostic on it so you know for sure whats wrong whether its the trac control or the transmission

My check advanced trac light is on(flashing) and car wont start,cranks but wont start this happens about 1 out of 5 times i start it. can i disconnect it completely

I took my 2005 LS to the dealer for 40k maintenance stuff, oil and fluid changes, tire rotation, etc. The "check" Advance Trac light was an issue with me too. I would have figured that the Advance Trac system simply needed "checking" along with regular maintence because it was "time". However, this was a hold-over problem from the last maintenance I had had - the light had been coming on even after taking it to the dealer previously. I don't think the technician caught it the first time. This next time, I insisted that they look at it. It seems to have been a re-calibration was needed. Now it is fine again...
