#90 of 109 Re: 2000 Intrigue Emissions Light/Blinker Issues [tdrawbridge] by dtownfb Jul 01, 2008 (8:53 am)
Replying to: tdrawbridge (Jun 30, 2008 5:04 pm) When a sensor is operating outside of it's range, it throws a "code". You see it as the "Service Engine Soon" light on your dashboard. These sensors monitor your car and makes sure everything is working like it is suppose to. There are literally over a thousand codes. Sometimes you get lucky and you can erase the code and it does not come back. Does not happen often. The problem may not affect your driving but unfortunately in most states, they will pass your vehicle with the check engine light on.   Luckily we have so many people on this forum who have first hand experience with most of these codes that if you know the number of the code, they can help you diagnose the problem.   As far as the blinking problem, here are a couple of links to another Intrigue forum. These people had similar problems that you are having.   http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=228733&highlight=prob- lem+with+blinkers   http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=620417&highlight=prob- lem+with+blinkers   http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=759308&highlight=prob- lem+with+blinkers

The trans slips in drive first gear then shifts into second and up normally. However, when manually placing the shifter in first or second then manually shiftilng into drive it works ok. Is this a sensor problem or the lilke? RON Replies to this message: dtownfb (Oct 13, 2008 10:17 am)

Replying to: ronny6 (Oct 12, 2008 3:03 pm) The issues I have heard most about pertaining to this transmission is the torque converter. It normally happens in shifting from 3rd to 4th. The simplest thing you can try is changing the transmission fluid.

It's only FIRST gear slip in drive from a stop but not in manual FIRST. That's why I don't think it's the torque. (It's not from 3rd to 4th.) And we have changed the trans fluid. Any other suggestions/thoughts??
#95 of 109 Recommendation on buying '99 Intrigue GX by papam Oct 15, 2008 (8:36 am)
After having my Mazda totaled, I am looking for a replacement car to get two teens through their driver's test. Want to get 4-5 years from this car. It has 55K miles on it and looks brand new. Driver's door control panel for windows looks like it has been removed/replaced. How good is this car really? The reviews seems too good to be true. Driving it was good, except for a small bump-clunk when turning (left most of the time). Could feel it through steering wheel but also could feel it through the brake. Am I getting a good car or a bucket of potential problems? Replies to this message: dtownfb (Oct 15, 2008 7:18 pm)

Replying to: papam (Oct 15, 2008 8:36 am) The window motors are a common failure on this car. The bump-clunk could be a couple of things: wheel bearing, tie rod or the infamous intermediate steering shaft (ISS). many have fixed the ISS by greasing the steering shaft connection under the dash. If you are handy, you can fix the wheel bearing yourself. The tie rod is a mechanic's job.   The Intrigue is a hit or miss vehicle. There are many well known issues that may or may not affect your Intrigue: flickering lights (alternator), ISS, ignition switch, mass air flow filter, crank shaft sensor, cam shaft sensor, fuel pressure regulator, secondary air pump, window motors, overheating issues, torque converter control sensor, etc. Again not all Intrigues will have these problems.   One thing to remember the Intrigues with the 3.5 L engine has 215 hp. That is a lot of power for teenagers learning to drive. Just something to consider. IF the owner has shown they have kept up with maintenance and the price is right, it may be a good value.
#97 of 109 4t65e auto transmission for olds intrigue "clunk" by jimpapke Oct 25, 2008 (2:27 pm)
I have a GM 4t65e auto transmission. It started "clunking"into the gears when in traffic. It is a rebuilt transmission as of 40k miles ago. Took it to AAMCO. the mechanic there brought it inside, firmly stepped on the break put it in gear and revv'd the engine several times. the wheels were shuddering. He then took of the pan cover and showed me a good size metal chunk that was in the pan, the fluid was otherwise clear, smelled fine. They then said that they'll have to take the transmission apart and replace the soft parts. Should cost in the neighborhood of $1500. Does anyone out there think I'm getting ripped off?

Replying to: jimpapke (Oct 25, 2008 2:27 pm) Get a second opinion and go to an independent transmission shop.
#99 of 109 ZZ Perfomance Shift Kit Installation by daddyoscott May 23, 2009 (11:44 am)
I just received the zz performance shift kit and am going to install with new Dexron VI fluid. I've seen positive comments about this kit and hope it helps with the shifting firmness. Any I should do during this proceedure other than follow the directions?
