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.

I had this problem with my 95,Does your steering wheel happen to move up,down,sideways ? That just means you need to replace or add new pins in the steering wheel . this i think caused my ignition switch harness to stretch and mess my ignition switch up.I replaced the pins and ignition switch and haven't had any problems since (cross my fingers)

well see the funny thing about it was that my service engine light had been on and off for about a month and half, no one could tell me why the light was on and occasionally the light would flash at me. and when i took it to schafer & strominger they told me that my engine had seized up and i needed a new one. and he said that he turned it manually and he got it to start but while it was running he said it sounded like something was cought in the motor. i just dont get it.

What state are you in? There is a place called pull-a-part where I live and there engines go for like 65 bucks or so. They are used and not positive to work, but you add the warranty and you are safe and covered! My dad uses them ALL the time! I just started using them and they are great!
