#46 of 87 running hot??When should fans engage? by tootertater Jan 24, 2009 (4:58 pm)
Hey guys! My '96 aurora started running above 200 degrees today but my cooling fan didn't cut on. I checked both fuses and they are fine.I have already change idle air control valve and Mass air flow sensor in the last few months. I have changed the serpentine belt along with Idle pulley and also the water pump belt. Oil pressure switch has been changed also. I always watch the temp gauge when driving and it doesn't usually run higher than 200. It ran up to 225 today before the cooling fans cut on. is this normal or is there something i am overlooking.I also can smell antifreeze burning after i parked it. Should the fans engage before it reaches 225-? Replies to this message: blk97aurora (Jan 24, 2009 8:26 pm) trailmug (Feb 07, 2009 3:40 pm)

Replying to: tootertater (Jan 24, 2009 4:58 pm) According to the service manual for my '97 Aurora:    Low speed operation of both cooling fans occurs when: 1) coolant temp exceeds 229F or 2) trans fluid temp exceeds 302F or 3) a/c operation is requested    High speed operation occurs when: 1) coolant temp reaches 234F or 2) trans fluid temp exceeds 304F or 3) certain DTCs are set   Hope this helps.   Les

#49 of 87 Uncontrolled acceleration by LJBat13 Jan 25, 2009 (9:17 am)
I have a 2001 Aurora with about 250,000 km on it. Recently we have noticed that when I am driving the car, it will slowly continue to accelerate in spite of reduced pressure on the gas pedal or pressure on the brake. When I put the car in neutral, the RPM continue to climb to approx 4000. I shut the car off and often it resolves the problem, however on occasion it happens again. I have noticed the problem mostly when the vehicle is cold. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks Replies to this message: trailmug (Feb 07, 2009 3:28 pm)
#50 of 87 Re: 98 Aurora 4.0 missfire at 35-40 mph. [putski] by trailmug Feb 07, 2009 (3:24 pm)
Replying to: putski (Jan 15, 2008 5:23 pm) Is your A/C on when this happens (or anything that causes the AC ON light on the climate control panel)? When my A/C clutch engages, the car can chuggle pretty badly.   Other first thought is the torque converter lockup clutch -- it locks up somewhere around 35-40MPH in overdrive or 4th gear when you're taking it easy. Try driving 35-40MPH with the brake pedal depressed (enough to turn the brake lights on, no need to drag the pads hard) -- this will disable the TCC.

Replying to: LJBat13 (Jan 25, 2009 9:17 am) This is probably caused by (but not necessarily the fault of) the Idle Air Control valve. It could be stuck, and they're cheap and easy to replace. Before anything gets replaced, make sure the car warms up fully when you drive it (around 200F). The IAC learn won't complete if the car doesn't warm up -- I've seen uncontrolled acceleration caused by a stuck-open thermostat!

Replying to: tootertater (Jan 25, 2009 7:47 am) The thermostat is in the water pump housing, on the driver's side of the motor.
