1995 Oldsmobile Aurora - Page 6 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Some of the cars use a round disc with two round proungs on eather side its a special too to turn the calpier in....if this is not the case most likely the Caliper is locked up and need to be replaced.
If it is a standeard caliper (pistion) You can pick up a pistion compresser from any auto parts house about 15.00

Best of luck

There is a shift solenoid for 2nd gear that has been known to cause these kinds of problems. Apparently it cracks or breaks but is replaceable. It is also possible that your car is in "limp mode". This will automatically select 2nd gear to use. Get your car checked for codes. This will let you know for sure. Hope this helps.

You need to replace your starter. If your Aurora is equipped with the 4.0L engine, the starter is located between the cylinder heads under the intake manifold. You will need injector O-rings and an intake manifold gasket set to replace the starter.For the 3.8L engine, it is located in the conventional place. However, you will have to disconnect the engine cross brace and rotate and support the engine to get enough clearance to get it out.

timeing chain or crank bearing? could also be the alternator "even if it is still working" i had this problem

get the computer reset so the light will go out you can do so with an obdii coad reader or pay 50$ for the garage to do it the reader is expencive

You may or may not need to replace the battery. To check if it is a drain from one of the systems on your car; unhook the battery overnight and see if it kept the charge till morning. If it is still charged in the morning then it is not the battery.

YOU NEED FLARE IN LINE WRENCH.

RADIATOR SHOP HAS TO FIX REBUILT BOTH SIDES OF RADIATOR PLASTIC CONTAINER SEALS OR BUY ANOTHER RADIATOR.

If this is an Automatic transmission, then I would start by making sure that it has the proper amount of transmission fluid in it. This would cause it not to want to shift through the gears.

Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r7427423-fix_poor_idle_high_idle_stalling_fuel . These are generic instructions. If you getstuck or need specific instructions for your car, please get back to me with model, year and engine info.

check the bulbs if thats not it, it could have an electrical problem somewhere in lighting system

Have you checked the fuses.

Change the thermostat! The thermostat is what opens and closes when the engine gets too hot or cold. When it heats up, the valve opens and kicks the fan on.

I am not sure I understand your question. However, I believe you are taking about the thermostat.
You will find the thermostat on the engine where the top radiator hose connects to the engine. There should be two bolts that you have to remove in order to remove the metal piece that conceals the thermostat. After you do this the thermostat should be visible and you can now just pull it out either by hand or by pliers. Make sure you do this when the car is cool and has not been ran for a few hours. If you work on a vehicles cooling system and the vehicle is hot you can get burned by hot anti freeze. To put the thermostat in just do the opposite as you did to take it out. Then remove your radiator cap and refill the radiator with anti freeze. Be sure you leave the cap off and ideal the engine for 15 or 20 minutes after you reassemble your car and fill it with anti freeze because if you do not do this you may end up with an air bubble in you block which will cause it to over heat again. You can buy a thermostat and anti freeze at any of your local auto part stores. I hope this helps you out at least a little bit. I wish I could actually be there to do this for you, but seems how I am not there that is impossible. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

I would spend maybe 10 bucks at the parts store and get one of the digital display meters
that plugs into the power port (lighter) and see if it is the charging system or prove that it's the dash. Should run about 14.6 volts. Make sure the smaller black wire from ground on the battery
has a good connection with the chassis. On my vehicles I run a heavy wire from the alternator mounting bracket to a good ground on the body(ie strut tower) Just to be sure.
Hope this helps
