#935 of 1000 Center High Monunted Stoplamp by racer__x_9 Aug 23, 2006 (10:24 am)
There is access to it from inside the trunk, take a look at the obvious location. You can change the bulbs, I don't know if you can clean the rear shelf from here though Replies to this message: di99 (Aug 24, 2006 8:21 am)

Replying to: subprman (Aug 22, 2006 8:51 pm) As far as the fuel guage, mine also does not work properly. i use the trip odometer. I have read the problem is with the fuel sending unit. You can access this through the trunk. Despite what you might hear, you can buy the fuel sending unit separate from the fuel tank.   Regarding the steering, many of us have had vibration through the steering wheel or creaking and groaning but I have not heard of the steering tightening up so much that you can barely turn it. It sounds like maybe the car cutoff or there was a temporary loss of power steering. On another place on the internet, it was suggested it could be a problem with the power steering high pressure hose being restricted. You may also want the mechanic to look at the crankshat position sensor as well. It may not send a code. Some here on the forum have replaced it before it causes too much trouble.   Trac, ABS and SES light: That seems to be a common problem with the Intrigue. On another forum, a poster suggested it could be the wheel sensors or a bad wheel bearing. Since your mechanic checked the wheel sensor already, I would have him look at the wheel bearings.   subprman: I will tell you i am not a mechanic or automotively inclined. Most of this informtion I have gained from reading this forum religiously for the past 4 years as well as another one. Your problems are not uncommon. If anything I have posted above is incorrect or wrong, someone please correct me. I don't want to give you bad information but i also want you to get the car ready for your daughter. I can imagine how you must feel sending her off to college in a car you are not 100% sure about.   Good luck. And check your Car Space e-mail. I sent you a message.

#941 of 1000 Re: rough start [oscarz2] by chasz Aug 27, 2006 (6:24 am)
Replying to: oscarz2 (Apr 20, 2001 6:22 am) I have a 2000 Intrigue that has the same problem that oscarz2 describes in his Apr 2001 post : when the engine is warm (cold or hot starting not a problem) it will start up to the 1200 rpm level, then kind of stumble as its rpm drops down to around 300 rpm and then die. Second try, riding the starter it will start up kind of rough and maintain idle. My car has 85K miles. Plugs, air filter, gas filter all replaced.   Previously the dealer replaced the EGR valve and cleaned the fuel injectors. That seemed to resolve the problem but after a few thosand miles the same problem is reappearing.   Can you tell me how you made out with this problem or can anyone else shed light on this? Thanks.

MOTOR NOISE!!! The top end of the motor under the valve cover on one side (3 of the 6 cyl.)is very noisy and also bone dry. THREE mechanics later still no fix... Looking for a motor diagram to see how the oil gets pumped up to the double overhead cam. Also, the motor runs great, no skip.... 2001 olds intrigue. 3.5 liter engine
#943 of 1000 headlight problems by ammermann Aug 29, 2006 (7:47 pm)
I went back and searched and found lots of people having problems with flickering headlights. Anyone have problems with the headlights going out all together and then coming back on? I have a 1998 Intrigue. Lights go out and I can either hit the sleep bumps on the side of the road or flick the dim switch a couple times and they would come back on. Tonight neither worked but they came back on when I came to a complete stop. It's getting dangerous to drive at night - any advice would be appreciated!

Replying to: dtownfb (Aug 24, 2006 8:08 am) Here's an update: daughter is back in school without a car. Mechanic had the car for about a week before the lights would go on again. Since there were no codes, the sensors and bearings were ok, he concluded it was an electrical problem and suggested I take it to the dealer. He also couldn't see anything wrong with the steering (I wonder how far he looked into it), but at least he didn't charge us for anything. Made an appointment with the dealer for later in the week. I hate going to the dealer--never had a good experience there--and this is the 2nd Olds I've had that they said needed a new engine, but that's a story for another time.
