#53 of 84 Re: running hot??When should fans engage? [tootertater] by trailmug Feb 07, 2009 (3:40 pm)
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.

hi guys i purchased this car about 8 months ago, when i went to test drive it it started and idled fine but tried to drive it and it wouldnt go over 10 mph the car had been sitting for about a yr owner said .i went i purchased the car next day at much lower price thinking it prob needed a fuel pump and crazy as it seems it ran and drove like a top for seven months no problems but the last month it started to lose power and run rough almost like it would run out of gas took and had it checked they said egr o2 and speed sensor needed replaced but i didnt have money to get all that at time, i cleaned the egr valve yesterday and didnt help went to go to work this morning and car popped and now wont start like backfire turns over very easily so i pulled a couple plugs and it doesnt seem to have any compression just put something over hole dont have a gauge here so now im thinking maybe timing chain i pulled front valve cover and all chains are turning, i love this car but not sure if i want to replace motor in it im hopin u guys can give me some ideas i will check compression and timing tommorow

Replying to: cukkiez (Mar 05, 2009 6:16 pm) I had this problem fixed!!! When we put it on the computer it said the engine crank sensors were bad. I replaced the two of the for $85.each and now the car runs great!! If the code only say's one is bad replace them both because they are up behind the oil filter housing witch has to be removed to get at them this took only 30 mints to fix!!!
#61 of 84 engine shuts down. by ranaurora Apr 19, 2009 (8:30 am)
Here's one for you guys, i can be traveling at any speed,(15-60+) in any type weather, and my 95 aurora (engine)will shut down(off), my door locks will unlock like i have stopped and put car into park,I don't seem to have lost any other electrical, i'll coast to side of road and put tranny into park, sometimes it'll start right up or wait a few minutes then it'll start. This last time it did'nt and i had it towed to my mechanic,It was a Saturday and had to leave till Mon. He said he got in and it started right up ,He put it onto the diagnostic computer and there were no codes, so he drove all day and had no problems This has happened to me about 6 times over a years time,I've spoke with different people on this problem and they can't figure why either.My mechanic said it might be ignition switch but is'nt sure, but would be glad to replace it ($250.+)Then if that was'nt it he could replace something else etc.etc. ANY IDEAS GUYS,I'm afraid to drive it, it's to nice of a car to just park. 112k mi.

Replying to: ranaurora (Apr 19, 2009 8:30 am) The car has to code !!! when it shuts down that is the time to put it on the code box.not wait to get to it! some times the computer will or not retain a memory on a type of promblem, . lets ask this? What is the Temp of the car when it does this .. Crank shaft sensors can cause a car to cut out at any speed when yours dies out does it Buck, Backfire, or run ruff ,, Give me a little more to go on, the older Aurora V-8 motor is diffrent then the new one's . The older Aurora require higher octain gas! When was the last time your car tuned up last??? You have 2 crank shafts that must fire in sink and when they fire wrong you got promblems.. Fuel filter how old is it .. Go after the tune up parts first inspect really good and replace what is worn!!! The engine must fire correct good luck Replies to this message: ranaurora (Apr 19, 2009 5:07 pm) cukkiez (Apr 19, 2009 6:52 pm)
