#29 of 89 Re: My 95 Aurora Suddenly Won't Start [spur2] by ndeysayau95 Mar 08, 2008 (1:27 pm)
Replying to: spur2 (Mar 08, 2008 8:03 am) Thank you for the input. I am not sure if mine has been repaired for the fuel leaks. I did read in some of the other posts about one of the lines being recalled. Im hoping that it is not my starter as this is a costly job. Maybe it's my fuel pump considering I ran out of gas in the car twice, and then filled up. Once again thank you.

it does sound like the starter. any good shop can verify this quite easily.   reset the change oil light. the manual will guide you as to how to do this.   good luck
#31 of 89 Siren type noise from engine on acceleration by trini3 Apr 01, 2008 (5:19 am)
Hi Folks, I have a 2001 aurora with the 3.5 V6 engine. I recently discovered a siren type noise that increases and decreases with acceleration or deceleration. It only starts when I' up around 60mph. I guess it appears to ha a vacuum leak like symptom. Help if any one has ever had this problem. Thanks Replies to this message: racuatt (Nov 14, 2008 4:53 pm)

I've read all of these accounts and it sounds like my CRANKSHAFT SENOR(s) need to be replaced too (it stalls at wierd times)....also the tach is shooting up to 8000 even though the engine isn't reving that high. Does this sound familiar to anybody? Are they related?

#36 of 89 98 Olds Aurora low oil pressure indicator & chime by pfarney Jun 12, 2008 (7:09 pm)
My Aurora has less than 10 K since total O'haul. Oil presure reads 48-51 lbs at cold start, but gradually drops to "no" or loe oil pressure at stops/low idle. then the chime starts and won't quit until I begin to increase the rpm's after stop sign or traffic signal. I know that the pressure must be OK. No engine noises, no o'heating, no oil use or discoloration. What to do? The damn chime is driving me CRAZY at stops. Thanks a bunch.

#37 of 89 stalling by tootertater Oct 13, 2008 (1:23 pm)
Hey everyone. I have a '96 aurora .8 cylinder, 198559 miles. Just replaced oil , oil filter,plugs, transmission fluid and filter. Now we here a grinding or scrubbing sound where the serpinetine belt is at. Friend of mine say its coming from the air conditioner pulley. ??? My biggest problem is that it now I cant get the 'oil change soon' reading off of the DIC and when it warms up the PSI drops from 80 t0 below 30 and it cuts off when idle at stop lights. Could it be that the car is idled too high or the oil sending sensor ?
#38 of 89 oil pressure by tootertater Oct 15, 2008 (2:38 pm)
: Well everyone I'm back. In my last post i ask about oil pressure on a '96 aurora. Well my car went to the shop and has been there for two days. Just got her back. I had to have a Idle air control valve, an oil pressure switch, idler pulley,serpentine belt and also idler tension pulley replace the original ones. All in all it ran about $385.My mechanic drove it thru town today and stopped at several red lights he says no problems. placed it on his computer diagnostic and shows all systems normal. I drove it home and my worry wort mind stayed on my computer oil psi read out on the DIC. My readings at stoplights were 14-29 psi and went up at acceleration but I don't believe they ever got above 70 psi. but I also never got above 45 mph because of after work traffic. This time my car did not cut off on me and no alarm went off. I really need someone out there to tell me what is the TRUE oil pressure that a '96 aurora should be. My mechanic says its fine at what it says. Does this seem right to everyone? I can;t afford to blow gaskets or even my motor.
