#5851 of 5863 Aurora Excessive Cranking by dmphil Jan 10, 2009 (9:56 am)
Thanks for your info. During that time, did your car start fast every time when it was cold? Also, did you ever have to replace the key or the tumbler/ If so, did this affect the starting problem? I have had a security alarm which shows up occasionally and then disappears. A mechanic seems to think it is probably the cause of the slow start when warm versus the problem being the fuel pressure . regulator. I tend to agree with the fuel pressure regulator being the problem.   Darrell

Replying to: donnapaca (Nov 22, 2008 10:58 pm) I am also having that problem. When the mechanic tried lubrication, it ate away at the lower half of the button...what did you do to solve the problem? Please advise! Thanks. Replies to this message: donnapaca (Jan 15, 2009 11:00 pm)

Replying to: nlel (Jan 14, 2009 2:47 pm) I lubed under the hood cable that goes to the transmission for shifting. It seems to have helped, however it sticks still some times. I also sprayed w-2 40 into space around button when I finally got it depressed. ( I don't know what lube your mechanic would have used to partially disolve the button)   I found that if you take off the emergency break, press hard on break petal and firmly hold in on the button (on shifter) , it will soon release. Don't just press it, you may have to hold for a short time. It works for a while that sticks sometimes, but will release after procedures I outlined. I have not had a chance to look further at lube points, but I think it relates to the safety feature that keeps you from shifting without pressing on break. I was hoping someone that has more experience with this issue would answer. I asked the former olds dealer service dept, however they did not seem to have experience with this problem.   I have found someone belonging to this site generally have solved a lot of common problems. One I had was fuel door would no longer release by pushing fuel button on dash. I was advised to put one drop of 30 weight oil on plunger that releases door, that was 2 years ago, no problems. Good luck and I will advise if I have to dig further into this issue.   Please let me know if this helps and also if you get any more information on this issue. Don

Replying to: caristo (Jan 16, 2009 7:49 am) I own a 98 Autobahn and know of no one whose DIC's "transmission fluid life" ever reads below 100%. If you read the owner's manual, the first scheduled fluid change under normal operating conditions is 150,000 miles. Nonetheless, at 104,000 miles I have changed mine 3 times (30k, 60k, and 90k) and the trans runs as smoothly as the day I got the car.

Replying to: hammen2 (Jun 16, 2002 10:02 am) For i) (indicator light burnout), how do you get to the light bulb in the 95 aurora to replace it?
#5858 of 5863 1996 aurora trip computer reseting by lonewolf501 Apr 18, 2009 (7:09 pm)
I was wondering how you reset the computer to read miles and farenheit instead of kilometers and celcius? Also when starting you have to give it a little gas and crank for like 15 seconds tostart, and when it does start it surges slightly and has a miss at takeoff from dead stop. could it be plugs needing changing? I didnt hear any air leaks when i checked today
#5859 of 5863 windows by cmalvarez Jun 19, 2009 (6:48 pm)
I bought a Aurora 95 as is with some problems.   First windows are not working not a single one and I already change the braker for a new one ( $ 10.45 from a GMC dealer) no change. I'm wondering if anybody knows how to check the main window switch.   Also the power mirror are not working braker fine.   AC was working but no more (?)   power sunroof not working either.   I love the car runs like rocket but I'm scare of the electrical, I would like to restore it already all the seats done and rug, any suggestions please to solve the mistery. Thank you. Replies to this message: bat078 (Jun 22, 2009 6:27 pm)
#5860 of 5863 electrical problems by bat078 Jun 22, 2009 (6:27 pm)
Replying to: cmalvarez (Jun 19, 2009 6:48 pm) try sliding back the rubber that hold the wire bundle going to the drivers door and look for broken wires. this is a common problem.
