#2 of 4284 HELLO FROM HENRI by Henry Aug 31, 2001 (9:19 am)
What PROBLEMS could you possibly have with an Aurora?
#4 of 4284 Road Noise / Vibration by shucknet Sep 04, 2001 (6:37 am)
Recently, it seems like my Aurora has picked up an unusually large amount of road noise from the front. Maybe it's my ears becoming more sensitive to the car, but I drove my 92 toronado the other day and it seemed like the differential was less (Aurora used to be a lot quieter). Anyone have any ideas on quieting down my car?   Also picked up a slight vibration last week after hitting a piece of debris on the expressway - no way to dodge it (I was PISSED). Hoping it's just a tire balance problem. Any other ideas? Replies to this message: drolds1971 (Jul 19, 2009 7:57 am)
#5 of 4284 Temp. concerns by cwiley1 Sep 04, 2001 (6:51 pm)
Does anyone know of a way to keep the Aurora's running cooler around town when the outside temp. is 100+? Mine run about 200 degrees on the highway, give or take a few degrees. But in town it is 220 to 240!!!!!!! Is there an after market cooling fan that runs at a higher speed? Since everything runs through the computer, I have been told you can't wire around it or change fan speeds.   It seems that if the car runs cool on the highway you should expect it to run as cool or close to it in city driving. I haven't had mine go into slow down mode yet but I surely expected it too.   Any suggestion or solutions??????   Those who are concerned about putting in a new battery, I put an Interstate dry cell in my '95 two years ago. It works great so far. It doesn't have water so it doesn't need to be vented. Cost was about $140 with labor. It wasn't designed for the Aurora but we found one about the same size and height.

#6 of 4284 Oil leak on a 98 by taylorb27614 Sep 07, 2001 (6:16 am)
Noticed wetness on the bottom of the oil pan when I bought the car. Took it into the dealer with complaint about oil drips on garage floor. Dealer took out the engine to replace engine half seals. Warranty job took 2 days and would have cost me >$1300. Anyone have a sticky accelerator pedal just off idle? Dealer says this is a maintainence item on the fuel injection system and costs $85 to clean something. Replies to this message: drolds1971 (Jul 19, 2009 8:02 am)
#7 of 4284 Sticky throttle by shucknet Sep 07, 2001 (10:29 am)
I've got the sticky accelerator pedal right off of idle, too. I hate it cuz my passengers get whiplash =). Any idea what they clean?
#8 of 4284 sticking throttle by tipsicobob Sep 08, 2001 (7:21 am)
many gm cars with some mileage accumulation suffer from the sticking throttle off idle. It is due to carbon buildup in the throttle body. The only way I know to fix it is to remove the throttle body and remove the carbon build up around the throttle butterfly. This is not a big job for the doit yourselfer.
#9 of 4284 GM Top engine Cleaner by redskin024 Sep 08, 2001 (9:07 am)
I used this on my 87 Monte SS. You pour the stuff in the carb according to the directions, let it sit for 20 minutes or so and then blow all the carbon out the exhaust by running it and revving the engine. Dont know how you would use it with no carb though. You should be able to buy it through your local GM Parts Dept.
#10 of 4284 HOT Air Conditioner by iahmatthew Sep 08, 2001 (11:02 am)
The driver side a/c is blowing air only a slight bit cooler than outside temp. Passenger side is blowing cold. Back seat is blowing about the same as the driver side. Needless to say it is very hot inside when temps outside exceed 70 degrees. Any ideas on what might cause this?   I have changed the temp sensor located in the dash just below the steering wheel - NO LUCK!
#11 of 4284 WARM AIR ON LEFT SIDE by tipsicobob Sep 08, 2001 (2:13 pm)
FOR # 9, I ASSUME YOU HAVE DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL (YOU DIDN'T MENTION THE YEAR). HAVE YOU TRIED CYCLING THE TEMP CONTROL FROM FULL HOT TO FULL COLD SEVERAL TIMES? IT SOUNDS LIKE THE DRIVER SIDE TEMP DOOR IS STICKING, DISCONNECTED, OR THE ACTUATOR MOTOR IHAS FAILED. THE REAR TEMP IS CONTROLLED BY THE DRIVER'S TEMP NOT THE PASSENGER.I WOULD TRY CYCLING THE TEMP SEVERAL TIMES FIRST SINCE A STICKING CONDITION IS THE MOST COMMON. GOOD LUCK!!!
