#1 of 107 i turn the key and sometimes nothing others it starts 1st time by jacksonpg15 Jul 24, 2007 (9:48 am)
I have a 2000 oldsmobile intrigue that i recently replaced the crankshaft sensor on due to the b circuit failing. I now turn the key and sometimes have to cycle it several times to get the motor to start. The motor will not crank at all while i am cycling the ignition. So if anyone has any ideas let me know. I also get a code now for the A circuit on the crankshaft sensor and a camshaft b circuit sensor code. not sure if it has anything to do with replacing the crankshaft sensor.

#3 of 107 starting problems by ron1967 Aug 11, 2007 (2:10 pm)
my car starts no problem when the engine is cold or if it's been shut off and restarted within a few minutes, but if i shut the engine off and restart let's say after 30 minutes it takes several seconds for it to start. i actually need to press on the accelerator a bit for it to start. this proves to me that there is a fuel flow problem. i changed the fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, spark plugs, cables, crank shaft sensor, cleaned the injectors and also the fuel railling. sometimes this problem goes away for several weeks and then comes back. please if anyone has addvice i would appreciate it, thanks!!

Replying to: ron1967 (Aug 11, 2007 2:10 pm) i see everything listed there except a fuel filter, which is what your problem sounds like. try a filter they are cheap, around 10 bucks, it should be mounted along the frame rail under the car on the drivers side, if not there look in the engine compartment or possibly near the gas tank. hope that fixes your problem.

Replying to: irls (Oct 02, 2007 10:16 pm) Considering he has changed everything else, I would try the fuel filter (which is located along the driver side in front of the rear tire). I don't think that is the issue. Instead of changing parts, you need to get readings on the fuel pressure to confirm it is a fuel flow problem.   The Intrigue has some "interesting" electrical and ignition issues that could cause the same problem. But he needs to confirm the fuel pressures first.   Also knowing what engine he has will help.
#6 of 107 security starting proplems by oewrestler Oct 23, 2007 (6:26 pm)
every so often i have probs with the car not turning over. the security light goes on ..you can hear the gas pump running...yet nothing else happens. after waiting (any where from a few minutes to a few hours(usually 15-30 min) i will try again and it usually then turns right over.the guide say very little in dealing with the " security-pass"feature.one shop told me poss ibly the ign. key core and matching olds pass key etc might need to be replaced? ($385)....any ideas? it is a 98, 3.8....otherwise a good ride Replies to this message: dtownfb (Oct 24, 2007 8:41 am) mtram (Nov 01, 2007 3:27 pm)

Replying to: oewrestler (Oct 23, 2007 6:26 pm) It is most likely the ignition switch that is the problem. I would try cleaning the ignition switch first (spray WD-40 into the key hole). I bet if you did Google search on Intrigue ignition switch, you'd probably find websites that give detailed instruction on how to replace it yourself. From what I understand, it is not very hard.   Update: I found the location of the directions to change the ignition switch. hope this helps: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=653340

Replying to: oewrestler (Oct 23, 2007 6:26 pm) I have 99, 3.8 that is doing the same thing. Have you resolved your problem yet? The thing that makes no sense at all is I can go 3 or 4 days and it cranks right up..then 3 or 4 days it wont crank or do anything when I turn the key.   Does your car also stall while driving?   I have had the crank shaft sensor replaced, new starter, battery, fuel filter.

Replying to: mtram (Nov 01, 2007 3:30 pm) I have a 99, 107K, with the same situation. sometimes it has no problems starting, other times it refuses to turn over. doesnt matter hot or cold, if I just drove it, or its been sitting... the wierd thing is that I can usually get it to start by closing the drivers door while I have the key in the cranking position, or sometimes by putting the car in neutral. sometimes it takes both, sometimes nothing works except to keep trying. I get the same codes camshaft and crankshaft sensor., and the SES light is intermittent. Do I Replace the sensors? -saw the post about the camshaft sens., but how difficult is the crankshaft sensor? Any help would be appreciated- Jeff Replies to this message: dtownfb (Dec 01, 2007 7:02 pm) olds409 (Nov 11, 2008 9:37 am)
