#12276 of 12285 coolant leak by nitram1112 Oct 13, 2009 (5:10 am)
Good Morning We have a 1998 olds intrigue, that overheated, and leaked coolant. We replaced water pump, and thought problem fixed. Well this morning coolant has leak again. Reserve is down about a 1/3. What could it be? Thanks for the help Replies to this message: dtownfb (Oct 13, 2009 9:14 am) root777 (Oct 13, 2009 11:51 am) nitram1029 (Oct 14, 2009 3:51 am) 01intrigue (Oct 13, 2009 7:08 pm) dtownfb (Oct 15, 2009 8:18 am)

Replying to: nitram1112 (Oct 13, 2009 5:10 am) I'm assuming there is no pool of coolant under the vehicle....   It could be a couple of things: blown head gasket or intake manifold gasket failure. Because you mentioned that the car overheated, I'm putting my money on the head gasket failure. Replies to this message: root777 (Oct 13, 2009 11:51 am) nitram1029 (Oct 14, 2009 3:51 am)

Replying to: dtownfb (Oct 13, 2009 9:14 am) A similar incident happened to me this summer going to Dallas. car overheating loosing fluid ect. Though the leak seemed to really be coming from the mounting point of the coolant reservoir. it was 110 outside ..it took me 25 gals of water and 5 gals of coolant.and although I am against the idea of putting additives in coolant....I did.......didn't have a problem with it the rest of the summer and has been running cooler than it ever was.   my monies on the thermostat sticking   Bars Leak Buddy but not all of it like only 1/2 to 1/3 of the bottle

The plastic bottles do age and can develop a crack that you will not notice because it drips out gradually while you are driving. The 3.8L engine did not have the manifold gasket issues of the 3.5L and the 3.4L V-6's. Replies to this message: dtownfb (Oct 15, 2009 8:18 am)

Replying to: dtownfb (Oct 13, 2009 9:14 am) Good Morning and thanks for your reply After replacing water pump there was no coolant leaking. But after running car, and then turned off, some dripping coolant from underneath car is happening near the back of engine. I would say probably a 1/3 to1/2 cup.. this happens after running it. thanks

Replying to: 01intrigue (Oct 13, 2009 7:08 pm) Some owners of the 98 & 99 Intrigues with the 3.8 L engine will disagree with you. The 3.5L in the 99-02 Intrigues did not have an issue with intake manifold gasket. Built on a different engine block which is no longer used by GM.   It appears the OP is losing coolant through a leak. Where he is seeing the leak should narrow it down.
#12282 of 12285 Olds Intrigue 2000! Possessed? Possiably? by jensolds00 Nov 07, 2009 (7:19 am)
I have been having issues and have read that it could be caused by a faulty ignition switch. My turn signals work when they want and I have the ABS, Trac off, brake, and service engine lights on on my dash and they have been on since a little before I replaced my tie rod ends. I am not sure what is the cause but I also have issues with the air, my compressor and heat works just the blower seems to work when it wants to work. I need help. I am to the point that I want another car but I love the way this one rides and drives when it's now having problems. Also when I use the cruise control it doesn't stay engaged and usually cuts off after a few mins. I am baffled and am just waiting for it to catch fire with all the electrical issues. The gas hand floats a lot to. Sometimes it seems to work and most of the time it sits on empty or jumps to full. PLEASE HELP!!!!

#12283 of 12285 Extra wiring harness? by palmieri78 Nov 07, 2009 (2:14 pm)
Hi,   I have a 99 Intrigue GX. I recently opened up the panels/trim around the gearshifter and the stereo/AC console, because I am going to be swapping out my stock radio/cassette stereo unit for a stock radio/cd/cassette unit from another Intrigue.   Near the gearshifter, I noticed a set of wires, leading to a small harness/plug. There were 3 wires (white, brown, black). The wires originated near the dash and gearshifter in park, and the open-ended plug went towards the armrest console.   Does anyone have any idea what that would be? I am guessing maybe an aux harness to then run wiring from that area towards the trunk, for a cd changer or something (I never had one in the car, though I am the 2nd owner--1st owner had the car for less than a year)   If that is an aux harness for the radio, would it be possible to plu something into it, and then plug an ipod into that?   Any thoughts/help would be greatly appreciated!   I can't figure out how to post a pic from my computer, so I can email you a pic if you would be willing to take a look:   Thanks!

Replying to: jensolds00 (Nov 07, 2009 7:19 am) The blinker light issue is with your emergency light switch. I have had to put a dime under the switch why they are wired through there I can't imagine but they are. The trac control off and ABS is due to the fact you need to replace tour brake pads ...pay the extra for ceramics and you won't have to worry about that one again.

Replying to: root777 (Nov 09, 2009 9:04 am) I replaced all of my brake pads and the lights still will not completely go off.....Most of everything is off and on like it only wants to work when it wants to and then other times things work correctly with no issues. I don't understand any of it when I take it to the shop it runs perfectly except the lights on the dash they still stay on. I live in a small town so its just a small shop I am going to try to get it to a bigger town and have it checked out. Since it has been getting cold I have noticed it acting up like trying to stall a little and the lights flickering slightly at night until it warms up then those problems seem to go away. I think it's possessed my husband thinks it's funny. I really expect wiring issues or something because of the way things are not constantly happening just every so often.
