For what reason would you buy a universal sensor?
 
If you read through the forums, you will see that a lot of people have corrected problems that re-arose after a short time by replacing the aftermarket part with a GM OE, especially if computer related and that includes spark.
 
It is recommended that you change all of them at 100K. I made it to about 125K before the first one went and within a year two more failed. And the one after the converter is suspect for a problem although it does not show a code. If you are past 100K, do yourself a favor and change all 4 of them. You might want to put a small amount of anti-seize on the threads. There are two places talked about in the forum that discount parts. One, I think is GM Direct. I ordered from the other, cheaper and fast. GM Direct has a lot of caveats concerning order, read through that.

ELC - Ride Leveling System in 1999 Aurora by northernliving
Sep 20, 2009 (4:26 am)

Greetings. I'm trying to trouble shoot my ride leveling system in my 1999 Olds Aurora. I was told by my mechanic that the compressor and leveling switch was bad. I picked them up from eBay for $100, and replaced them. The compressor now works, but when connected with the leveling switch, it runs continuously. There are no leaks in the system as it will pump the read end up to the moon and it WILL stay there for weeks. I've tried a second leveling switch and the same problem prevails. Any ideas on the problem mode? I was thinking that there might be a solenoid, or a relay at the compressor that may be causing it to stay on all the time. Thoughts?

Chances of 2 switches being bad are minimal. It's possibly a wiring problem. You need to check the switch connector real good and follow the wiring harness looking for any breaks or places where it might be rubbing metal and possibly shorting out.

fuel leak by tootertater

hey guys. It has been a while. well I have a pin hole fuel leak just inside of cover on the motor of '96 olds aurora 8 cyl. I have found the sight for what vin # was recalled but i dont know if mine is in it yet. I am taking it into a shop that has fixed my car for more than 10 years. Will the makers of olds aurora honor the recall if i am not the origanal owner? I cant drive it to the nearest dealer because it is about an hours drive from where I live.I am a single mother and I am afraid to drive it after I found out it can catch on fire. I am in Georgia and need to know where to call about recall. Will it do me any good?

Recalls follow the car, regardless of owner and ownership changes. This recall repair should be performed by your GM/Cadillac dealership as they took up the slack when Oldsmobile was terminated.
 
Call the dealer with your vin #, explain the issue, and to verify their recall repair protocol.

OIL LEAKING 2001 AURORA by nycoldsowner
Sep 29, 2009 (5:45 pm)

I just bought a 2001 Aurora 3.5. While it wasn't leaking oil at all before I bought it, it is now. It appears to be leaking above the pulleys on the left hand side of the engine but the leak could be lower and shooting it up when the belt turns, right?
 
Anyone else have this particular problem?

H2O Leak!!! by 01aurora1

I have a 2001 Aurora 3.5, and after heavy rains... the rear drivers side floorpan is FULL of water. I have adjusted the sunroof... as it seems to 'sag' in it's seats.... and have had my shop blow air through the front drain tubes in the sunroof drains...
 Is there any other drainage tube that runs down the pillar between the doors on the drivers side???? How else could this amount of water get in???
Any help would be appreciated!!!!! Is there a WEB site where I can get an engineer's diagram of this car.... showing drainage tubes...etc????
