Abs light is on and cant shift on 2003 sunfire. First time that has happened. Car has been sitting a year not used.

SOURCE: ABS light stays on but car stops normally.

it sounds like a lot of seperate problems with the abs light just check to make sure there is plenty of brake fluid in the resovior what causes the metal to metal noise ??

Are you getting any codes from the Check Engine Light? This sounds like it could have something to do with a sensor. Check your air filter and make sure it's clean. The tach on my 1999 doesn't really work, but it hasn't coincided with other driveability problems. The engine doesn't change in it's RPM's, the tachometer just stops working. Have your charging system checked. The shaking might be coming from bad fuel pump operation, clogged fuel filter, or dirty fuel injectors. Try putting an additive into your gastank to clean the injectors (a bottle of Seafoam is great for this). Try calling your local Autozone and see if they do free trouble code scanning. This might help lead you in a better direction.

Take it back to your mechanic, it may just be a connector that got bumped loose since the light was off before service.

I have the exact same problem and it only happened when reversing. Sometimes the car shakes like its going to stall while im reversing. Took it to the repair shop paid 600 dollars and its not fixed!!!
Have you found a solution?

Does the clutch pedal engage? This sounds like a clutch problem to me.
