#10019165May 23, 2003
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED, THE TURN SIGNAL RELAY (OR AT LEAST SOMETHING THAT SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE IT) ENERGIZES AND DE-ENERGIZES (MAKING A 'BLINKER' SOUND) AT A RATE 2X OR 3X THE NORMAL TURN SIGNAL RATE. THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS (GREEN ARROWS ON THE DASH) DO NOT ILLUMINATE. ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE PER TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED. ABOUT 7% OF THE TIME IT CONTINUES FOR 2 TO 5 SECONDS, AND THEN STOPS BY ITSELF. ABOUT 3% OF THE TIME IT CONTINUES UNTIL THE BRAKE IS PRESSED AGAIN, OR THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH IS ACTIVATED. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED. IT HAPPENS ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST STARTED IN THE MORNING (I HOLD THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN WHEN STARTING THE CAR). ONCE DRIVING, THE FREQUENCY OF OCCURENCES DECREASES AS THE CAR "WARMS UP".

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
HEAT SHRINK FUEL INJECTION LINE BETWEEN #6-#8 INJECTORS DEVELOPED A HOLE AND SPRAYING FUEL ONTO INTAKE AND IGNITION WIRING. THE CAR SMELLED OF GAS INSIDE AND THE MOTOR WAS HARD TO START AND BACKFIRES SOME. I'VE DONE A TEMPORARY REPAIR AND HAVE NOT BOUGHT ALL NEW RAIL TUBING. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AT THIS POINT. IT IS TOO COSTLY FOR OWNERS TO REPAIR FOR SUCH A SMALL PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
COOLANT LEAK HAS BEEN SERVICED ABOUT SIX TO SEVEN TIMES. MY AURORA IS CURRENTLY IN THE ROUND ROCK, TEXAS CLASSIC GM DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER TRY. ALSO, THE CAR IS BEING OUTFITTED WITH A DEVICE WHICH WILL TAKE A PICTURE OF THE ENGINE /ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS TO DETERMINE WHY THE ENGINE QUITS WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 5 TIMES AND I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ENTERING A FREEWAY WHEN I LOST ALL POWER. I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO PRESS AN INSTALLED BUTTON THE NEXT TIME THE ENGINE STALLS. I OFTEN GET A HARD SHIFT WHEN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. ABOUT 20% OF THE TIME. TOLD THIS PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED BY DEALER.*JB
