governer on 1995 Olds Aurora

Just wondering if someone could tell me the approximate cost and how much work it would be to put a chip in my car so it doesn't die after 100mph. I'm getting sick of my buddies' little 4 bangers scooting by me at top end speed. I would appreciate any info.

Obey the speed limits and you wont have to worry about it!

I don't know about 100 MPh...I thought it was 140. Either that or someone already removed it because when I first bought my car, I did ONE test with it on an empty country road and I was able to take it up to 130 without any problem. My tires were rated for this speed. However, I doubt that yours are. It is very dagerous for you to take average tires up to that speed. If you don't have a blowout, you can mess up your balancing and get strange leaks and all sorts of problems.

I just got the car myself about a week and a half ago, so I had to get on it a little bit, but both times it died at 110. I thought that was kind of odd for a v-8 but I don't plan on doing that too often. It just would be nice to have a little more top end speed. However, thanks for the reply.

Vikessuck....go to www.domesticperformance.com That site has a chip
for the 1995 Aurora for $289.00.

Some Aurora's came with an autobahn package with a speed limit of 135-140mph before it cuts out.
Sounds like you have non-autobahn.

Under the lid that covers the micro spare there is a series of build codes. The standard Aurora had a QQW the Autobahn Aurora had a QQX build code.

Also on the driverside door Autobahn would say it had V Rated tires

I have a quick question for ya, you seem to know quite a bit about your Aurora. My passenger and rear windows won't roll down all of a sudden, and I don't have the window lock on or anything. Checked pretty much everything, also, the fan won't come on on manual right away like it did before. I have to drive for a while before it decides to work. Any ideas?

This same situation occured to an owner in a previous thread and I believe there is a relay that controls the other doors functions separate from the drivers. A new relay cured the problem.

i read in a magazine that the autobahn aurora cuts out at 142.5mph

I thought it was fuel shutdown at 6400 RPM, not a MPH limiter? My struts are not good enough for any top end passes, but my car shows 6100 RPM@105 MPH in 3rd gear.

That could be it... but in overdrive, at 125MPH mine was only in the 3000-3500 range. However, I also read that the Autobahns have a 'higher' speed limit of 140 mph. Apparently the tranny is geared differently as well. Here is a quote of the features of the Autobahn package. "140 mph limiter, v-rated tires and the STS gearing 3.71:1". I also read that the package comes with crome wheels. (I love them :)

vikessuck, when your Aurora dies, what is the RPM at?

The autobahn option doesn't include chrome wheels - I wish it did, I think they look great.

I think that was only '95. My '98 Autobahn has chromies...

Mine's a 98 too, and I think the only options it doesn't have are the chrome wheels, the cellphone and the bose.

In the 96 FSM the final drive ratio (3.71) for the autobahn will have a production code of FV4 with tire code of QQX for v rated tires. Mine doesnt have chrome wheels or the bose system but it is an autobahn 96 with the FV4 and QQX build.

does anyone know what the type of tranny the autobahn has?

4t80E 4 speed, what else are you looking for

Smart Group ;)

This Autobahn package didn't include the chomed alloy rim option but it did include V-rated tires and a gearing of 3.71 found on the STS.

Non Autobahn equipped Auroras are governed at 108 mph. V-rated tires are rated for 139mph, so the governor must take over at about 135-140 mph.

Am I ever glad I found this forum :smile:

I have a 1995 Aurora. Since a year ago it engine started mis-firing, as if one or 2 cylinders were not functioning. I had all spark plugs and wires changed (AC Delco) but it's still not running smooth, had 1 coil changed, made it better but still not perfect as before. Is there anything else I can do? a mechanic told me it could be from the sensor that adjusts fuel release and spark as we accelerate (forgot the name of part). Anyone has a suggestion?

Why would you only change ONE coil?????????????
If ONE coil made it better. MAYBE, JUST MAYBE....................

ecmprogrammer.com sells the aurora chip for 329, there the ones making it, domestic performance re-sells it. it used to be 289, but its 329 now, so im sure domestic performance needs to update there site. the 329 does cover shipping from canada though. im very close to odering this cheap on friday
