I have replaced the spark plugs, the fuel filter, battery is good, gas is good, could it be the fuel pump? Also my ABS brake light comes on and stays on after low traction light comes on, and occassionaly my low oil pressure light comes on (oil level is great and the oil is clean)....I don't know what it could be and need help with locating the problem, and then how to fix it myself...PLEASE...Thanks

Welcome to AF, not much info here, proper fuel pressure at the rail, strong blue spark at the plugs? The abs should be scanned for codes to pinpoint the problem, wheel speed sensors or connections are the most common issue. Oil press. sending switch could be bad, or you do have low oil presssure, replace the sender see what happens, ( after it runs of course)

can you hear the fuel pump run when you turn the key on??if so you can check
fuel pressure but you need a guage to ck (try spraying carb cleaner in intake)
if you can'nt hear pump then make sure we have 12v. connector is in trunk behind
r/s carpet.you need to ck for spark if fuel ck out have some one crank while you
remove plug wire & hold it close to metal
