#32 of 40 Increase power/performance? by di99 Jul 10, 2006 (7:19 am)
I have a 99 Intrigue GL/3.5L, w/ 95K on it now. Lots of problems with it along the way (still uses at least 2 quarts oil between changes), but what really bothers me is that the performance & pick-up is not great anymore. Engine has a bit of a knock now/takes forever for it to "take off" when I floor it/shifting is not smooth at all/etc. That was the only reason I could even tolerate all the problems. This car was/is really fun to drive! Is it just too old to perform the way it used to? I am thinking the transmission may be ready to "go"...and am trying the Lucas treatment to see if that will smooth it out (not slipping yet, just jumping into gears now). Should the spark plugs be replaced (recommended I heard at 100K)? Should I be using high octane gas now(never have)? Anything else I could do to pep it up? Thanks for any suggestions.

Replying to: di99 (Jul 10, 2006 7:19 am) My 99 Intrigue GLS with 153,000 runs almost like new. You have to give it the required TLC. Doesn't it deserve new plugs, filters, fuel injector and throttle body cleanings, tranny and coolant services. If you haven't done any of these services yet bail out of the car before it is too late. Many repairs were needed to my car after 100k.

#39 of 40 Intrigue 3.5 Engine by cberg38 Sep 04, 2007 (10:21 am)
I am soon getting a well maintained low milage 2001 Intrigue. I am wondering if there is a source for a cold air filter charger system (K&N style)? Are there any performance parts for the Intrigue's motor (throttle body or chips)?
