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!!!

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.

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

#61, I have the exact same problem with my 2001, 3.5 L, 93000mi. It cuts out for just 1-2 seconds sometimes during acceleration, and died for 10 minutes at 60 mph. No codes. Starts and runs fine afterward. Batt terminals clean. Don't think it's fuel related because it's instantaneous shut off, doesn't go lean for a second before dieing. Not alternator because batt is new and fully charged w/ great cranking power. I'm thinking crank sense timer modules, but I'm no expert. Help, help, help!!!!!

That is called crank sensors. We have the 03 yr and I had that stalling promblem.The code told me that the bank 1 sensor was bad. Since I have 2 of them and they are behind the oil filter I replace them both. cost me 150.00 for the 2 of them. Now the car runs great. Now as for you . Your 01 v-6 according to Auto Zone has 1 crank sensor that cost $60.00 and the 96 v-8 crank sensor cost 30.00. part number SU-1052 that a cheep fix I would go there! Replace them and see

The car had a tune up at 75k, all recalls have been preformed.The first problem time, i was at a stop light, the door locks came to the unlocked position and there was no indication that the engine was shutting off and i gave it gas but, the engine was off, no jerking or sputtering beforehand. The last time i was on a secondary road 15 miles outside of town going posted speed limit(60) and same as above,so there was no way to put the car on diagnostics there and in my 60years i've never owned a portable code reader

Ok if it happens again then get it coded as soon as you can, either your garage or go to a parts store like AutoZone and they will code it for free.. Just trying to help you out it seems like a sensor .. like I said before if you want to try to replace the sensor, try it , it's a cheep repair I dont know what to say but it sounds like the crank sensor .You are giving me the symptoms of what a car does when one or both is bad. If you have 2 sensors replace them both even if the other one is good A shop will tell you that replacing both is a smart thing to do. . And as for the door locks on one of my cars when I put the car in drive the doors locks, then when I stop put the car, put in to drive, now I am getting out of the car when I shut the key off, the doors locks open, so when yours stalls out it looses power and the locks open.. ok , that will happen everytime when you shut the key off or loose power. Automatic Locks, my Aurora does that my Chey Van .. I bet if you change the sensor you will be golden Best of luck to you on this let me know how you make out,

hello to everyone im new to this site. I have a 96 aurora 115,000 miles . My problem is i was on my way home from work one day and i went to turn the corner and hit the gas and noticed that it had shut off on its on. so i pulled over and it started right up like nothing happened. Maybe 5 miles later it did it again while i was just coasting down the road so i pulled over and attempted to start it again this time with no luck...... now i noticed before it cut off my oil pressure went from regular operating pressure down to 5psi on the information center. And when i tried to start it up agian it just made a cliking noise but the power was being drained because the lights were getting dimmer. So i had it towed to the repair shop and the replaced my starter, alternator, gave it an oil change and the battery was brand new and now it still wont start. they are telling me that i just need to swap the engine cause its gone bad. does anyone have any clue to whats going on im so confused i dont know what to do.
