Engine problems i dont know whats wrong by oldsaurora96

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!

stumped at possible causes... by sliczewsky

I have a 95 Aurora that had fuel pump, lines, fuel rail & cylinders replaced last summer. It's been running great until a few weeks ago. I started it up and massive blue smoke blew out the tail pipe and a really strong fuel smell inside the car. There was no warning there was a problem. My husband and some mechanics he works with are stumped as to where from and where to it's dumping fuel. At first, they thought it was the head gasket, nothing found. The fuel rail is also not leaking. The injectors were not replaced yet because we are not sure if it's worth trying to fix. We do want to save the car if we can find the problem. Does anyone have any idea of what could be the issue?

2001 aurora makes strange noise. by butlerj

Hi I am new to the site.
 
A few days ago i noticed a strange sound coming from my engine. I that maybe my oil was getting low, cause my bro had a car that had blown an engine after making a strange sound when he had no oil. I added oil but it still makes the sound. At first it is like a siren but then it levels off and sounds like a mini bike or a moped. It gets worse as it accelerates. I start to to really hear it as I reach 35 mph.
 
Anyone have any ideas.
