So i did a line lock while the engine was out it went pretty smooth. The line lock works like a champ push in the brake hit the button and im stopped no problems. But for some reason when i first start driving the car and come to about my first 5 stops the brakes will ABS and my ABS light will intermittently come on. Would Air in the system cause this? I bled them but maybe not enough. I mean when im not hitting the button it should just act like a longer brake line. Any help would be sweet.
 
Any mods to an ABS system can send it into a tailspin. For example, I swapped my 15" rims for 16" and my ABS light came on.
I'd say your problem is based on the addition of the line lock (and subsequent modding of the factory braking system)
There is a way to clear the trouble code and reset the ECM, but I don't remember how to do it.
 
There is a lot of info in that article. So i think i will look for some codes tonight when i get a chance. My thinking is that i could see having an ABS problem when the line lock was in use but when its not in use its just open tube, it should just act like a slightly longer brake line.
 
After reading it, I would think you were correct, but you might need to shut off the car and restart it after using the line lock. :shrug: I find it kinda crazy no one WITH a linelock has chimed in on how theirs is working. :shrug:

I have had no problems with my line lock, sorry no help.

:stupid: No problems here either, but my car doesn't have ABS. I would be really suspect of air in the system. When you bled them, did you only do the fronts or all four? I pulled new fluid through the whole system, then did the install and rebled and it's worked like a champ for me.

I did just the fronts when i bled it. When i get my car back from the alignment shop today i will check the ABS code and then ill most likely end up bleeding all four corners.
