B84,
Scan for error codes to determine what the ECM is warning you about.
Check this file for instructions and decoding:
GM Error Codes.pdf
You'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader to open/print the file.

I had the same thing happen on my 95 TA. It turned out to be a bad O2 sensor. Might want to check that out. Oh, and dont run your car up to 120 with this problem, I did and my car died.... Not easy to slow down and steer at 120 with power nothing!

My 85 IROC does something similiar but only on start up. After I've driven a block, the check engine light goes off. I BELIEVE the code was 24--at any rate it had something to do with the VSS. If I remember correctly, the manual said to disregard the code/light if the rear wheels weren't moving. What's that all about? Vader?
