Oldsmobile Aurora

the starter is located under the intake manifold

The large power cable on the battery most always goes to the starter which is on the bottom of the engine near the transmission area and is most likely below the intake manifold.

The starter is under the intake manifold plenum. This is the large black plastic assembly under the engine cover. Ther starter sits in the VALLEY.- TechJK ----------------------------

I have a 97 and found that the "chime" fuse kills all of that.

Underneath the right rear passenger's seat

Trouble code P0385 means: Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor B Circuit

well i would find a spot where you want it. buy it from walmart or a auto place. run positive to a positive source and ground to chasie. that's the easiest way than rather make a new fuse circuit.

Your key probally has a chip in the key (a little black chip with silver in the middle) Take a pencil eracer and rub both sides of the chip. the wait three minuets is part of a security system. * I had that exact same problem. drove me crazy! I took my car to the dealership "morgan pontiac" for took look at it. They blamed my remote start and that they wanted to disconnect it to run more test but they would have to charge me $85 at first but i told them it did once before, prior to my remote start. they continued to check my car repeatedly. then they finally figured out it was my "ignition lock cylinder" and it had to be replaced. it would cost $500! Brake-O did for around three hundred and i got two fresh keys cut. The only problem i had with them is that they disconnected my remote start and didn't tell me. After confronting them they said that it contributed to my car acting up. I told the professionals that installed my remote start and they said that was bulls***. They said that would hook it back up for only $35.

Throttle position sensor

ITs a bit of a pain.

The book tells you to take apart the suspension but who wants to do that so I will give you what I think is an easier version.

Quick version.

Remove both cross braces (strut tower to the upper radiator core support).

Remove air cleaner box and tube.

Remove the upper engine torque mount bracket and remove it from the radiator core support.

Remove the battery and the battery tray.

Remove the radiator and condenser fan assembly.

Remove the battery wires and clips from the alternator.

Drain the overflow bottle.

Remove the overflow bottle nuts and set it aside / to the back a bit.

Remove the nut holding the fuse junction block and set it to the back a bit.

Use a wire if you need to tie back the overflow and the fuse block out of the way of the belt.

Use a ½ inch drive ratchet on the belt tenchoner and remove the serpentine belt.

Alternator has 3 bolts 2 on the side of it or the front of the motor and one on the front of it / side of the motor.

Remove the idler pulley next to the alternator this is bolt one.

Loosen both side bolts don't remove yet.

Messy part.

Remove the water neck / thermostat housing and lower radiator hose.

Alternator will not come out without taking this off.

Pull it back out of the way.

Finnish taking the front bolts out.

You can now slide the alternator out to the side and up the battery area.

It is tight but will come out.

You should not have to replace the gasket on your thermostat housing.

However be careful putting it back on do it evenly.

80 inch lbs (6.67ft lbs) to hold it on. It's not that much just good and snug.

IF you got that far you should be able to put it all back right.

:P

Aurora 3.5 - the sensor is on the front of the engine, on the right side, up behind the starter. You can see it from the bottom looking up, but you have to remove the starter to get it out.

The Aurora 3.5 has a single dual sensor.

The Aurora 4.0 has two separate sensors.

Underneath air intake manifold on top of the engine.

Anti theft is a tool that is used in a car and it was probably triggered so someone must of tried to steal it or a friend of yours probbably played with a part

key on engine off...push gas pedal to the floor 5 timrs witin 3 seconds ..this will turn your lite out

Find the idler pully of the serpentine belt system. It is usually the one that appears to not "drive" any system and is normally located towards the top of the other pullys. On the idler pully assembly, you will find a bolt (not the bolt in center of pully or the one at the pivot point of assembly). Using the correct sized socket and a large ratchet (or wrench) as a lever, pull or push the idler pully assembly, which is spring tensioned, until the pully moves in far enough to get new belt on. Slowly release tension until belt is tight against the idler pully under the assembly's spring tension. Be sure belt is properly seated on all pullys without any twists.

You have to remove the door panel and attach the new window to the window frame this is very easy but it is time consuming and make sure you have no air leaks before you put the door panel back on

Facing engine, on right side . It will be attached to a radiator hose leading to the thermostat. To the left of the pump will be a small belt and tension pulley that drives it. You will need 10mm socket for housing removal and a special socket tool ( about 3" in diam. that can be rented or loaned through Auto Zone car stores. About an hour and a half working time. Good luck.

Just replaced my water pump. Got an estimate from a garage, 340 bucks? I bought the pump (new pump) 57.99 and I bought the special socket for 21.00. Took me less than an hour from start to finish. Amazingly simple water pump to change. The hose clamps are a bit strong and were the most difficult item to remove. Had to use a very large pair of channel locks to get them off.
