marlindap: the bulbs burning out and signaling the computer, does that not put the check engine light on, I am sure it would in certain vehicles
Blown bulbs wont put a MIL on, only a bulb failure warning light.
Faulty switch or circuit wont put on either light.
The computer wont see it as a fault.
All it sees is a poor driver with his or her foot on the brake & accelerator at the same time

you're right. the bulb in my car that blew was found in a regular inspection.
I didn't know it was out

ooby_dooby: Well, I got about a dozen responses from the other site and I almost got a headache reading them. From what I gather there is a connection between the brake light circuit and the ECU (computer) which tells the ECU to cut back the power if it senses a signal from the brake light circuit. This way when you're trying to slow the car down with the brakes, the engine can't be allowed to be adding more power to make the car go faster. Apparently the faulty brake light circuit was sending this "slow down" signal to the ECU causing a chronic loss of power. Once the faulty brake light circuit was corrected all the power which was there but throttled back, became available again.
interesting all that technical complex.
guess what the car is driving normally nowmaybe was kind of gremlin?

Duromojon: yesterday I took my car to the dealer, light brakes blown
when my car was fineshed I drove like a plane
the issue was the brake lights to be replaced
what did they do to the engine or transmission a mystery

What a deal!
They only charged you for brake lights, and you were able to fly when they were done...
The last time I owned an automobile, I had to stay on roads, obey traffic laws, and the laws of physics!
I'd buy another car, if I could go to your mechanic.
Who pimped your ride??
