The traction sensor comes on when one of the front wheels spins faster than the other. If you push it on then the front wheels lock up to give traction to both front wheels equally so you can drive away from a situation where one wheel may be in sand or snow/ice and the other on dry pavement. Traction Off is the normal running mode.

Yes there are struts on the front and shocks on the back. 2 of each. They are around $50-100 for the fronts. $30-100 for the rears depending if the car has air ride or not.

The traction control system is controlled through the Anti-lock brake system. The way it works is if one of your wheels starts spinning the ABS applys the brake to that wheel to transfer power to the oppsite wheel that is getting traction. If your ABS is bad then your Traction control won't work. To check it I would find a parking lot on a wet day. In an open space mash in the gas. if you hear the ABS system kick in and you don't squall the tires then your good. My guess is you won't. What I would be worried about is will my ABS work. When checking the traction control is a good time to check the ABS. Acclerate to around 15 mph, then mash the brake as your live depended on it. If you hear a motor run and feel a vibration or grind in the brake peddal, then it works.

The heater core is located under the dash, in the center. The container holding the core looks like a black plastic box. Remove the ash tray for easier access. You may have to also remove some other covers under the dash. You must first drain the radiator then you have to disconnect the hoses. There are two hoses connected to nipples of the heater core that go thru the center of the firewall. Remove the screws that hold on the cover to the heater core. Then you should be able to get the old one out. There might be a couple of other minor steps but I'm sure you can figure them out. For re-installation just go in reverse order to put it all back together.

i have a 1995 buick lasaber that was doing the same thing. we replaced everything that we could think of, including the things that are mentioned here. i took it to the buick dealership and they finally were able to find out that it was faulty wiring that connects to the crank shaft censor. they said it is a fairly common problem that is misdiagnosed all the time. hope this helps.
