You really should have the codes read. even though the check engine light isnt on, the ASR will store codes.
A brake switch (above brake pedal) is always good insurance with ASR equipped cars. They are cheap and easy to install.
Good luck.
p.s. It should still be drivable after the ASR goes into limp mode and cuts 50% of your gas pedal. You just have the push harder. Your transmission will feel like its malfunctioning but thats normal in limp mode.

That's just it, the engine won't come up from idle at all once the ASR warning comes on. I'll have to have the codes read tomorrow afternoon after work.
Another thing - I discovered a fuel leak just in front of the driver's rear wheel also. Must be the pump or filter I suppose.
After I get all of these problems corrected, I think it'll be time to trade this one in. I've put as much time and money into it as I can at this point.
