Replying to: vanman1 (Feb 16, 2009 6:14 pm) I know some of the regulars sold their Intrigue. When Edmunds "re-organized" the forum board a couple fo years ago, we lost some folks.   Still a lot of Intrigues out there and DIY looking for help. Replies to this message: b4z (Mar 15, 2009 1:54 pm)

Replying to: dtownfb (Feb 21, 2009 6:29 pm) I still check every few months. It was way longer than a few years ago it was reorganized. probably '01 or '02. Anyhow, I 've looked at a few intrigues recently for a daily driver. hard to believe it was 10 years ago that i leased my '99 Intrigue. march 21, 1999 no more leasing at GM so my wife and i are looking at a audi q5 now.

I recently bought a 2000 intrigue 3.5l v6 gx model with 109,000 miles on it. I took it to autozone and had the battery and alternator tested and my alternator was only running at 55 amps so i replaced the alternator and had it tested it again and the amp output was 141. well now the battery is not being charged by alt. what gives? also i had the service engine soon indicator come on so i had that tested and was told it is the crankshaft position sensor. i am due to have that replace this weekend. any assistance from experienced intrigue owners would be greatly appreciated. i am ready to throw my hands up. but i read several post in this forum that this is a really good car so please any insight.

Replying to: wkndgrl (Mar 17, 2009 4:27 pm) Yeah, I have the same car, but gls, bought it with 98k, have 148k now. I love the car, great power, very comfortable, etc and not half bad gas mileage 221-2 most of the time, 27-32 on highway trips.   There's a lot of posts out there about the CPS, I suggest reading back through, that's a lot about it, though I believe if I remember correctly (never had the problem myself) that it was something that came up and it did fix the issue.   As for the Alternator, if it was working before, even though at 55amps and now the new one isn't, even though I haven't had do replace an alternator (hopefully some others can have some good alternator advice) I would guess you screwed up a connection somewhere. Does the still start fine?
#12250 of 12298 2000 Intrigue, Wet Front Rugs by cindy37 Mar 21, 2009 (3:12 pm)
Last month, I purchased a 2000 intrigue with 100,000 kilometres on it (60,000 miles). I noticed in the last few days that the car was smelling odd inside, so I removed the front passenger and driver's matts, and discovered that the rugs were completely wet, and in my opinion not because of the snow melting and getting underneath the mats. The weather had been more springlike, melting snow, etc. Can anyone suggest where we should be looking? Under the car, hood or any other area for holes.   Any help will be greatly appreciated.   Thanks,   Cindy Replies to this message: dtownfb (May 09, 2005 4:37 am) donp9 (Apr 22, 2009 2:10 pm) afxap (Apr 05, 2009 4:15 pm)

Hi!   Just thought of another question to ask. This is the first intrigue I've owned, and I've never had one with the ignition on the dash. When I bought it from the dealer, I mentioned to them, that I noticed once the car is not running and parked, that I can't get the steering wheel to lock in place. They told me since the ignition is on the dash, they do not lock. Can anyone confirm this?   Thanks again!   Cindy

Replying to: cindy37 (Mar 21, 2009 3:12 pm) There's a couple of possibilities. It could be a clogged AC drain.   It also could be a "leak" at the junction of the windshield and black plastic on the passenger side. Under this plastic is where the cabin air filter sits. That seal can fail allowing water through that air intake and onto the passenger side mat.   I hope I described that properly. I know it has been discussed a few times.

Replying to: wkndgrl (Mar 17, 2009 4:27 pm) Update, I took my car to the shop had the CPS changed and found out it was a bad alternator. Since changing those two items car runs like a dream. No issues what so ever.

Replying to: cindy37 (Mar 21, 2009 3:12 pm) My 2001 Intrigue had the same problem, passenger side only. My local repair shop found the problem was that the cabin air filter assembly had a missing water deflector under the front cowl (the top portion of the front part of the automobile body forward of the two front doors to which are attached the windshield and instrument board). They replaced the missing deflector and the cabin air filter. $80 labor, $8 deflector, $30 cabin air filter. That corrected the problem.

Replying to: dtownfb (May 09, 2005 4:37 am) I had the same problem on my 2000 Intrigue a couple of weeks ago in a heavy rain. It was also a misaligned deflector. Since correcting it no problems
