Water is getting into the harness connections for the ECM
use water displacer ( wd-40 or the like ) after a wash or find where the water is affecting and use a spray wax to cover all of the electrical connections

SOURCE: 1994 cadillace anti theft system

I just had this same problem with a '96 . do you have a vats key in your '94? you need to bypass the VATS system. read some of the blogs on this site and it will tell you how to do it. I fixed mine with a $2 resistor from radio shack.

SOURCE: 94 Cadillac deville will not start due to security

this seems like the theft prevention system, same as on my dads cadi, the chip in the key may be bad,but this is an issue best resolved at a dealership. the computer may need replacing, but its about 1k. take it to a competant gm dealership.

SOURCE: THE TC light had a wrench beside it?

chances are there is a problem in the abs system, which also controls the traction control. have the car scanned for codes, which will give you a starting point for diagnosing. good luck!

SOURCE: abs and tc lights on dashboard remain illuminated after reset

Bring it back to the repair shop that did the initial repair and have them complete this repair. There is something wrong. They have to reinspect their work and check the ECU for loose wiring and determine whether you need a new ECU.

What would cause the idle to jump up and down upon starting the vehicle?

Sounds like you've done everything but the injectors. Run a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in a tank full of gas every time you do an oil change after this time. Also, check the fuel pressure to see if it's where should be for the injectors. But then, if it has enough pressure to go through the dirty injectors to make it run, pressure should be good. Check it anyway.

Why does Lexus keep stalling after running awhile

Call the nearest Auto Zone and see if they offer to plug-in a "Code Reader" that displays "Fault Codes". You could luck-out and it could be a easy replacement part that they sell.You will have to drive your vehicle to the store location. Good luck.

Will fuel regulator cause 2001 grand am 2.4 cyclinder run ruff with a slight engine knock at idle. And cause engine to shut off at hight speed.

No it will not, you need to have the knocking sound checked out, it could be rod bearing, or timing chain tensioner, both will damage engine, also need to check fuel pressure and ignition coil packs.

Car has not been started for several months. Now runs ruff

Spunds like the car needs a whole tune-up. Plugs, wires, fuel filter, and definately an oil change. Also, you may want to make sure the car is properly timed. If it isn't, that will cause uneven running, with carbon and/or oil build-up on the plugs.
