As you let off the gas pedal AND start braking you feel your brake pedal pulsate against your foot What could this be?

If your vehicle has disk brakes, then this is a sign the rotors are warped, not flat like they need to be. When you apply the brakes, the brake pad comes in against the rotor and as it rotates, it should stay flat against the rotor, but yorus must be warper and as the high and low spots rotate by the brake pads, this pulses the pedal which you feel.

What could cause a clicking noise while driving but stops when braking on a 1994 Buick Century?

What happen when you don't repair abs problem?
It depends on what the problem actually is. If the ABS module has failed you will still have braking action although it will be compromised (less effective). If however, the ABS is failing because of some other problem in the brake system you could lose all brake functions or have a severe pulling right or left problem when braking. It is really not worth the risk. You need to at least have it checked out by a competent mechanic. You might end up killing yourself or someone else over a fairly simple problem.
