#80 of 109 Re: LOUD Noise in my Console (mid-chassis) [dtownfb] by indrgb Jan 02, 2008 (5:38 pm)
Replying to: dtownfb (Jan 02, 2008 10:23 am) I'm not certain, but I don't think the 98/3.8 engine has the secondary air pump. See models below from TSB 04-06-04-037.   Models: 2000-2002 Buick Regal 2000-2002 Chevrolet Impala, Monte Carlo 2000-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue 2000-2002 Pontiac Grand Prix with 3.5L or 3.8L Engine (VINs H, K - RPOs LX5, L36)
#81 of 109 Re: 99 Intrigue GLS shake and shudder [gur1] by surfman Feb 18, 2008 (11:32 am)
Replying to: gur1 (Oct 17, 2007 8:04 am) I have a '99 Intrigue GLS with the 3800 series engine with 69,400 miles on it. Have used Mobil 1 from first oil change on and have changed the coolant regularly. Had the tranny fluid changed at the recommended intervals. However, I have exactly the same intermittant hard shifting as described by gur1 in post 65 of 80. Question is this: how do you change the PCS and/or EPC? Is this something I can do by dropping the pan, draining the fluid, and changing the filter? If not, what can I expect to pay (ballpark number) for this service? If I am able to perform this, can somone provide me instructions on how to do it. Thanks to all who can help. My wife got a new car so this is now mine for driving to work. I love driving this car and want to keep it for a long time.   Dave Replies to this message: indrgb (Feb 19, 2008 4:59 pm) surfman (Feb 20, 2008 1:48 pm) indrgb (Feb 21, 2008 5:41 pm)

Replying to: surfman (Feb 18, 2008 11:32 am) Here is the very brief procedure from Alldata for a 2002. I think the hard part is getting access to the PCS. It's through the side access cover, not the bottom. My van needed a new one. It was $600 (USD) about 4 years ago. I've seen a couple of posts for W body cars that were a little more. The standard labor for this repair is 4.6 hours. You can do the math if you get the parts cost and the local labor rate. Don't forget to add the infamous shop supplies, environmental fees, boat payment, etc...   1. Remove the case side cover. 2. Disconnect the pressure control solenoid electrical connector. 3. Remove the retaining clip (314E). 4. Remove the pressure control solenoid (322). Replies to this message: surfman (Feb 20, 2008 1:48 pm) indrgb (Feb 21, 2008 5:41 pm)

Replying to: indrgb (Feb 19, 2008 4:59 pm) indrqb,   Thanks for the info. Do you or anyone else have drawings, photos, sketches, etc. for the replacement of the PCS. This would help me out alot. Also, where (which side) on the vehicle is this side cover located and is it easy to access? Thanks in advance for your help.   Dave Replies to this message: indrgb (Feb 21, 2008 5:41 pm)

Replying to: surfman (Feb 20, 2008 1:48 pm) Sorry, I do not. I think it's on the drivers side facing the left front wheel. I think it's somewhat hard to get to that's why GM's labor rate is 4 1/2 hours for an experienced tranny technician.
#85 of 109 Transmission flush by rosscm Jun 19, 2008 (7:28 pm)
I went in to change the break pads and said "Oh, and flush the transmission" This was just for the sake of regular maintenance. The car was running like a dream and only had 40000miles on it. Big mistake. I am not sure what I should have said but what I wanted was for them to stick the clear hose down the tranny dipstick hole like they do at Valvoline and pump out the old stuff until it runs pink and clear in the tube. What they did was change the filter and the gasket. I looked at my bill, started to say something then thought, maybe its a good thing. Within a week my car was bucking into first. At five weeks I was in an intersection and the car just made a mush sound when I tried to accelerate. I got into a parking lot and got mush in drive and reverse. I towed it to a transmission shop and they said it was *%&^ed. I was shocked when they said this. I am not a mechnic. 1900$ later I have a rebuilt transmission on a car with less than 42k miles Replies to this message: moonshadow (Jun 20, 2008 4:03 pm)

Replying to: rosscm (Jun 19, 2008 7:28 pm) I hate flushing. You can never trust the bozo doing it, procedure, pressures clealiness and fluid type .   That said, had you checked the fluid after you got it home.

My sister bought her 2000 Intrigue about 6 years ago and had some problems with it from the get-go. I just put the car back on the road and sent it to a specialist at a shop that works specifically with electrical problems. I went back to have it inspected, by the same folks who worked on it, and I failed, b/c my check engine light popped up sometime in the time I drove the car to the shop and they turned it on for the inspection. Is there any way to turn the light off so I can get an inspection sticker??   Also, the folks that worked on my car were supposed to have fixed my blinkers, but didn't. They will work fine one second, then not work at all. Its not the lamps or the connection, any idea what it could be??

Replying to: tdrawbridge (Jun 23, 2008 3:54 pm) From what I understand about the "check engine" light is the code can be cleared but the car needs several "starts" before teh system is reset. Of course, the check engine light is on for a reason and if you get the code read, we can probably help isolate the problem.

Replying to: dtownfb (Jun 30, 2008 12:50 pm) Thanks for the reply. To be honest, I don't really understand what this whole "code" issue is I don't understand. How bad is emissions problems usually? The blinker works randomly in both the front and rear blinkers, but then will turn off on both of them. The actual blinking action, in the front light bulbs they will light up solidly, but will not actually blink. They don't blink on the interior either when not blinking on the outside. I can't figure it out and am very nervous about driving with blinkers that don't always work.   any suggestions? Replies to this message: dtownfb (Jul 01, 2008 8:53 am)
