CHANGING SPARK PLUGS FOR 1997 OLDSMOBILE AURORA
Very easy process but takes a little time. Remove plastic cover on top of engine to uncover wires going back to ignition coils. Remove plug wire and trace back to coil. Remove and replace spark plugs on at a time, same with wires. Spark plugs need .5 gap. good luck

My '97 Oldsmobile Aurora wont start. It ran fine for a few weeks after my mechanic replaced fuel pump and fixed the air conditioner which had ruined a belt. A few days before it stopped working this time, I would put the key in and nothing would turn on except for a few lights like the ABS light when the key was in ON position But it would eventually turn over. I don't remember any clicking sounds before it turned over. Now it's not turning over at all. We checked the battery and it was drained. We had it checked (it checked out perfect because it's less than a year old and high-quality) then we charged it manually. The car still didn't turn over. It still only turns on the inside information center when it's in the ON position but then that goes off when I try to start it and all that stays on is a few lights like the ABS light. We checked ALL 4 fuse/relay boxes in the car (by "we" I mean my dad). Everything checked out fine. My dad's new theory is that it may be the coded security key that is as old as the car and certainly showing some wear. Does that sound like the culprit? Or is there something else "we" should be checking?
P.S.: This site is awesome! You guys nailed the problem we had with my Mom's 2002 Sable last week. Thanks so much.
check all wires + ground wires

check charging system warning comes on is there a common solution (alternator)?or something else
Check Charge System light keeps coming on, can't tell how much gas I have or what my speed is. Now the blinkers stopped working. My car is a 1996 Oldsmobile Aurora.

2001 oldsmobile aurora 3.5 check charging system ligh came on had alternator checked out they said it was bad put anew one in still not working then had battery checked out it was bad put a new one in still not working took the new alternator out had it checked they said it was good still not working checked all fusesw and there good what elese is there to check
The battery wire leading to the alternator has an inlibe fuseable link spliced into it. It sounds like it shorted out. Check that wire with a volt meter to check for continuity

i had codes p0174 - p1133 -p1140 -p1153 please let me know what these codes mean
P0174 Basically this means that an O2 sensor in bank 2 detected a lean condition (too much oxygen in the exhaust). On V6/V8/V10 engines, Bank 2 is generally the side of the engine that doesn't have cylinder #1.
P0140 Basically this means the an O2 sensor in Bank 1 detected a lean condition, same as mentioned above. Bank 1 is the side where cylinder #1 is.
In the vast majority of cases, simply cleaning the MAF sensor does the trick. Consult your service manual for it's location if you need help. I find it's best to take it off and spray it with electronics cleaner or brake cleaner. Make sure you are careful not to damage the MAF sensor, and make sure it's dry before reinstalling.
P1133 and P1153 indicate that the HO25 Sensor has gone bad. There the O2 sensor to the left and right bank at the exhaust manifold. When the engine first start's the PCM runs on a open loop and ignores the O2 readings till it reaches it's operating temperature. Once the operating temperature has been reached the diagnostic will only run once per ignition cycle and if the PCM detects a lesser then specified value, a DTC of P1133 or P1153 will come up.
Once the problem has been repaired, after 3 start cycle will reset the MIL light. If the O2 is just dirty and slow to heat up try cycling the ignition start 3 times and the light should go off if the O2 sensor does not fail.
Try cleaning the MAF first and see if the light comes off after a few ignition cycle, If the service light is still on you can always have Auto Zone clear the DTC codes and see if it comes back which then check the left and right bank wire harness to the O2 sensors.
Good luck and hope this helps, keep me posted.

My 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora is overheating and a blown head gasket has been ruled out, yet it stills overheats. A new thermostat has been put in but to no avail. Don't want to waist anymore money without pinpointing the problem.
Do the fan(s) come on when hot? Blow out the radiator core with compressed air (from the engine side) to clear it of bugs and other debris. Make sure the radiator is full to the top (when cold) and check the radiator cap seal rubber and the over-flow tank and tubing for leakage. It's possible that the water pump impeller is slipping on it's shaft and not pumping water properly. Remove the thermostat temporarily and remove the radiator cap. Remove some of the water so that the level is somewhat below the cap bottom, then start the engine and watch for rapidly moving water. That will show that the pump is moving water well. Allow the engine to heat up and keep track of the water movement. Shut the engine off at low end of 'normal' on the temp gauge and replace the cap so that it doesn't blow out boiling water into your face. Replace the thermostat and top up the water when cold again.

It is not the plugs...What else can it be??
As i took out spark plug 2/3 it was moist on top.Replaced it and still the same problem.The engin has not been rinsed down for the last 6months.
Help/tip or assist me plz
The ignition coil package is a kind of two coils. One is delivering to spark plug 1 and 4, the other is 2 and 3. So I think the coil is the problem.
