Okay, drove my car today (been waiting for my title to be processed) & I noticed when taking off from a stop, acceleration feels sluggish (feels like I have no cataytic converter), but heres the thing. I have a bad hub bearing so my traction & abs work about 2 mins after startup. When the traction & abs are not on, it feels quick on takeoff. What could this be? I have all power going high speeds, its just when I take off.

Does the computer slow fuel/timing down on take off when abs/trac lights are on?

If you are accelerating to the point where the tires would break loose, the traction control and torque management could very well be holding you back. Another possibility is that when the system activates again, the bad wheel hub could be sending false indication of wheel slip that the system attempts to correct. Replace the hub and see if things improve.

True, the faulty wheel speed sensor will cause the computer to pull timing and fuel to reduce power, thinking you are spinning the wheels when you may not be. A form of traction control and torque management to protect the drivetrain built into the programming. Replace the hub.
