Bonne has it unhooked but it is in storage for the winter, The Trans Sport doesn't have it. I would run with it on if I had a ton of mods, their has been a few that have chipped a piston that way.

I'm not sure if it does it for OBD1 but on OBD2 in a last ditch effort to stop the car from spinning the tires it will shut off injectors... then POP with a small pulley...

I always leave my traction control on unless I get stuck. it'* helpful because if one tire is spinning it applies the brakes and reduces power enough that both tires will pull instead of one. You're not going to get anywhere easier if your tires are just spinning and losing traction. THe more traction you can keep the better.
I agree about the stability control though.. I LOVE IT!!

Personally, I leave it on, unless I have a reason I really want to spin my tires. I like going fast, but the extra insurance on crappy roads is too good to pass up.
