Oldsmobile Aurora Repair Questions
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

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

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.
