I have a 1996 Linclon. I have put the OBD Machine on the car and it reads out to me the following: P0122, and P01443. There is nothing wrong the car from what I know, but there seems to be some kind of hisitation when I press on the gas. I would also like to know what does it mean when my ABS light is on on the DASH BOARD.

Thanks.

P0122= Throttle position sensor (circuit)
This could be a bad sensor, wiring or
connector. But don't jsut replace the sensor.
Test it first and compare to spec. Then check your wires/connectors for damage or looseness.

P01443= There's no such code. I think you meant to type (P1443)
This is a code for an EVAP purge solenoid. That's an emmision control device that won't cause any drivability issues, but it will cause you to fail an emmisions test.

Finally, when your ABS light comes on it means there's a problem with your anti-lock braking system and your computer wants to tell you what it is.

You need to have your computer scanned with a scanner capable of reading ABS codes. (All scanners aren't created equal)
