Just put in a new engine in 2007m45s.
Engine runs great, but the slip and traction control lights are on, and throttle response isn’t as it should be. So I read some things on here, one said to disconnect the abs so I did, throttle response was great but then my odometer didn’t work. Is that normal?

A lot of Infinitis in that time period don't have a VSS, they get their vehicle speed signal entirely from the ABS controller. So your ABS is probably causing the "limp" in your engine. You really need to scan the ABS to see what the problem is.

Well if I connect the abs the brake light is off but I have a RAS and a slip light.

You need to get it scanned. The ABS obviously sees a problem, but the lights won't tell you what it is.
