ABS problem with ford 350 van

My van has had the ABS light on since the day I bought it..

If the roads are slick and I hit the brake doing 5 mph I will skid..

any idea what causes the abs to go out?

you will have to retrieve the diagnostic trouble code in order to figure out what component might be at fault

I believe the ABS system doesn't kick in until the vehicle is over a certain speed.

Regardless, you should have the codes read on your van to find out why the ABS light is on.

smoke from engine

G

ghelp on Dec 05, 2007

My son's 1997 Honda Civic SI manual transmissinon in perfect condition is parked in my driveway for about seven months. About three months ago I started it and ran it back and forth in the driveway ( it is presently unlicenced and uninsured ). The battery was in it all this while. I took out the battery about two weeks ago and placed it inside the house ( outside temperatue in Toronto was/is below freezing ). Last Friday ( 30th Nov ) I put in the battery and tried to start it - the hood/bonnet open. I noticed a little smoke coming from the left hand side ( driver's side ) of the engine - that is the side opposit to the battery. I waited a few minutes and tried again. I saw more smoke coming from the same place of the engine. When I got out of the car to see/smell/pinpoint the exact location from which the smoke came I could not determine. What component could the smoke be coming from and what could be the cause? Thanks. Ghelp

Battery sizes?

T

I have a 91 Mazda B2600i. The battery I have 22-26 sizes range with 630cca. I purchased a 24 group size but is a little small for the brackets that secure the battery. I can secure it with something else. My question is - Does it matter what the size group I pick as long at the CCA match what is recommended? Does the 26 size holds more power than the 22 group sizes?
