I just want to chime in here and share my most recent experience.
I've been driving this Aurora for years now and still like it....138k miles. Rarely gives me problems. But when it does...I've always been able to narrow it down to a couple things.
Recently had a P0300 code....random misfire. In the past a failed fuel pump was the the issue. Not related directly to the P030x codes. Realized not to run the car down below 1/4 tank.
This latest random P0300 code was weird as I didn't have the right code reader to tell what was up. Spent 83 dollars and took it to a guy and he diagnosed it. Random 5 and 7 cylinder misfires...my Bluetooth tool simply couldn't narrow it down. He also checked fuel pressure for me....why I was there in the first place. Wanted to rule out a fuel issue. Was spark or fuel problem.
I bought two coil packs...and eight spark plug boots and have seemingly fixed it. Runs like butter again and check engine light gone.
Changing spark plugs and that rear coil pack is not fun but can be done. I'm only bleeding a little bit.
These are good cars....coil packs are usually the issue. GL fellow Aurora brothers.
Fuel pressure was in spec btw....knew it was the coil pack death....lol
