#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.

Replying to: tootertater (Jan 24, 2009 4:58 pm) Mine runs at 200 cruising in the winter, and gets up to 240+ idling in the summer heat. This is completely normal for this engine. If the temp gauge doesn't go into the red, don't fix it!

Replying to: creamteam1977 (Feb 12, 2009 6:20 am) I have a 96 aurora and had many problems with the fuel rail leaking on top of the engine. The nylon lines between the injectors would crack and spray on the engine. The smell would enter the car while driving or idling. There was a recall on this fuel rail on the 96 (had a friend with a 97 also get his fixed under recall), but i dont know what years it all covered. Have a look at your fuel rail if it is plastic lines between the injectors, go to the dealership and tell them about the recall. Mine was replaced with a totally different style. Its a single metal line in the shape of a "U". I had to go to 2 different dealerships because the first place i went to said that there were no recalls still needing to be done on my car. That recall was from back in 2004 i think.

Replying to: cukkiez (Mar 05, 2009 6:16 pm) One likely cause for stalling is a bad fuel pressure regulator. It's located on the fuel rail and fairly easy to change.
