"it should be located on the passenger side" who ever put this is a dumb a** the aurora is a front wheel drive car idiot its right in front of you when you lift the hood 2, 4, 6, 8, says it right there. the first bank of cylinders is toward the fire wall. the engine is sideways guy.

There should be a diagram of the belt's routing somewhere under the hood. There is on my Aurora.
I just read that there was a recall on the fuel lines and other parts sometime in 2004. Google "recalls on a 96 olds aurora" and it will list it.
for a 1997 olds aurora you have to press the engine "eng" button till you get to the "change oil now" then press and hold the reset button till it says "oil life 100%". it should be the same for a 96.
If the 1996 Olds Aurora will not start and there is a clicking noise from under the front panel, check the starter. The clicking noise is probably from the starter solenoid.
The spark plug gap on a 96 Olds Aurora should be set at .050, and they should be torqued at 11 foot-pounds.
Not enough info to answer that one. Give us more info and re-post.
