Oldsmobile Aurora Repair Questions and Answers


Question:  1995 Oldsmobile Aurora mileage: 150,000. I had the transmission rebuilt by a reputable dealer. After one week the service engine code light came on and the transmission jerked very roughly when put into gear. They diagnosed that a circuit that went through the ignition switch was the culprit. They changed out the switch. That solution lasted about 3 weeks before the code came back and the transmission bucked. They took the car, dove it for about two hundred miles but the problem did not reoccur for them. But it happened again yesterday. They removed the code, the same code that told them the ignition switch might be the problem, and the car runs fine. This problem occurs only when starting the car, never when in operation. Any suggestions? 

Answer:   Check for loose or missing ground wires to the engine/transmission assembly.  Also, look for bad connections in the main power wires and in the main power distribution panel.



Question: 1996 Oldsmobile Aurora mileage: 136,000. Starting Problem: Excessive cranking 2-3 seconds before starting, after start rpm drops low, but engine recovers and does not stall, once started - runs fine at all speeds. Does not do it every time, but appears to more frequent now. I expect soon it just won't start.

Answer: Scan the computer for fault codes and with the engine running, read the data stream coming from the sensors to the computer. One of the sensors may be out of range but still functioning. You can purchase a trouble code scanner that plugs right into your car's computer and see which codes are indicated. Once the failed parts are replaced you can clear your car's trouble codes with the same code reader


Question: 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora Northstar mileage: 106,000. I am in the process of changing the water pump and came to a halt. I am trying to take the water pump off but it won't come off. There are prongs on the pump that you have to grasp in order to remove the it, but I can't turn the pump. Is there a special tool you need to get the pump off? I just need to unscrew it so I can replace it with a new one.

Answer: Yes, you need a special tool to get the water pump off. It should be available at most parts houses.


Question:  1995 Oldsmobile Aurora mileage: 120,000.  My traction control light comes on when I’m driving my car what possible problems could I be encountering?

Answer:   Scan body control module for trouble codes.
