I have a 1998 Aurora as wheel with the same problem of car shutting down. First I had the module replaced and it still did it. And then I was told to get my fuel injectors cleaned and I kept injector cleaner in my car when I filled up and the I finally got a full tune up and after that no problem. I was told bad spark plug wires will cause this as well.

The contact owns a 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora. When she stopped at a traffic light or a stop sign, the vehicle would shut off. The failure occurred intermittently on more than one occasion. The vehicle restarted after she shifted gears to park and then drive. There were no warning lights present. Three mechanics performed test to diagnose the failure; however, they were unsuccessful and correcting the failure. The dealer stated that they had no complaints related to the failure. The current mileage was 105,000 and the failure mileage was approximately 104,800. Updated 04-02-08

I purchased a 1998 Aurora in 2002 - from the original owner. The vehicle continually shuts off while at a stop light or stop sign. It can occur at any time without any warining. It has even done so just slowing down to make a turn. I almost got rear ended this month because the engine died as I was simply making a turn. Luckily there was enough birm space to veer the car of the road. I have been slowing or stopping with one foot on the brake and the other tapping the gas to keep the engine from dying. I have had the vehicle to a local dealer with no findings.
