Our Aurora (1995) also won't start the first time you turn the ignition on, maybe not even the 2nd, or 3rd. Today it took at least a dozen attempts, and it finally started. It has taken a while to realize it is something to do with the electrical system. We have had triple AAA start the car for us a few times; we have had a variety of mechanics service the car - because the dealer could not diagnose the problem, just let it run with the "SERVICE REQUIRED" lit up on the panel. Those servicing the car have tested and replaced the battery (expensive), replaced the alternator (more expensive), and replaced the started switch, all to no avail. We now think all the problems the vehicle has are related to whatever electrical/computer glitch is in the vehicle - it is not mechanical. Now the speedmoter needle bounces furiously from 0 to 150, messages keep poppong up on the message panel: "PASSKEY SYSTEM FAULT", ERROR CODE "32", bells ring, lights flash, and it goes on. We think that the times we or AAA jump-started the car, if we'd just turned the key in the ignition a few more times, it probably would have started anyways. Other than 'just keep turning the key and pausing between attempts', any suggestions would be most appreciated
