#77 of 111 stalling intrigue by wkndgrl Mar 17, 2009 (5:15 pm)
I recently bought a 2000 intrigue 3.5l v6 gx model with 109,000 miles on it. I took it to autozone and had the battery and alternator tested and my alternator was only running at 55 amps so i replaced the alternator and had it tested it again and the amp output was 141. well now the battery is not being charged by alt. what gives? also i had the service engine soon indicator come on so i had that tested and was told it is the crankshaft position sensor. i am due to have that replace this weekend. any assistance from experienced intrigue owners would be greatly appreciated. i am ready to throw my hands up. but i read several post in this forum that this is a really good car so please any insight.

Replying to: dtownfb (Dec 04, 2008 8:13 pm) Hi Thanks again, I'm not losing any coolant, and no white smoke. BUT the exhaust smell very rich after starting and running. I been getting a service engine lite (right side) and my friend had a code reader. It showed Crank position sensor (Part A) fault. IS this the cause of failures after the car warms up? But its strange that after I re-start, no more failures, so I'm confused if the CPS is faulting, why only after 7-11 min and not after re-start. If I replace the CPS do I need to have mech do a re-training i've been reading?? Replies to this message: dtownfb (May 10, 2009 8:35 pm)

Replying to: kimphoto (May 07, 2009 10:07 pm) The crankshaft position sensor is a common problem on the Intrigue and can cause the problems you are describing. From what I understand, it is not too hard to replace. Some people just replaced the sensor and did not do the re-learn process and did not have any problems. Some did the re-learn process. Search the main Intrigue board and see if someone posted the re-learn process. You can also try a internet search.

I have been having the following problems the stall for no reason suspect the cam & crank sensors are there any surprises when you install new ones, like when we installed the new ignition it locked us out with pass lock? is there a relearn processHow hard are the installs and where are these two pieces located.
#81 of 111 intrigue stalling, i've tried everything by intrigue05 May 04, 2009 (3:06 pm)
I have a 99 oldsmobile intrigue GL with the 3.8 series 2. I love the car but can get very frustrating. it ran perfect until about 150.000 miles. now it has started stuttering, then shutting off. I replaced the FPR and didn't have any luck If the car is cold when i first start it then it runs fine until i shut it off, then when i start it again and drive it it randomly shuts off. but then if i wait long enough and wait till the car is cold again it runs fine. Could this be a vacumm problem? im all out of ideas so any suggestions would help.

Replying to: intrigue05 (May 04, 2009 3:06 pm) Are there any "check engine" lights on? Are you experiencing any hard starting on a regular basis? When the car stalls, do you notice any of the "warning" lights coming on? What else have you tried?   The first thing i thought of is a bad crankshaft position sensor. Normally this will throw a code if you start experiencing stalling issues. Replies to this message: intrigue05 (May 08, 2009 11:03 am) dtownfb (May 10, 2009 8:32 pm) intrigue05 (May 13, 2009 8:51 am)

Replying to: dtownfb (May 05, 2009 1:51 pm) htere is a check engine light on and when it turns on the car runs better. Im guessing that because it is then running off pre-programed data. But i was thinking it was a vacuum leak because i heard a hissing sound and when i revved the car there was a high pitched whisteling sound. i found a big leak between the manifold and throttle botty. that o-ring is bad and the manifold is a little warped. would that cause the car to stutter and die? and would i have to get a new manifold? or would just the o-ring do the trick?

Replying to: intrigue05 (May 08, 2009 11:03 am) The first thing you need to do is get your car scanned so you know what code is. Most likely the check engine light will give you an idea of what is going on with the car. You can get it scanned for free at most auto part stores. Make sure oyu get the actual code and not "oh, it's your oxygen sensor". There are enough people on this forum who have dealt with most of the problemw with the Intrigue that if you post the code, someone can help you.

Replying to: dtownfb (May 10, 2009 8:32 pm) yea i have a scantool and everytime i am about to use it my engine light goes off. but i figured out it was the mass airflow sensor. i unplugged it and when i drove with it unplugges it drove just fine so i replaced it and it's all fixed.
#86 of 111 please help!!!! by bold_1 May 23, 2009 (7:44 am)
Im back fellow intriguers and i have a big problem::::I recently changed the oil on my 3.5 with 169k, and added a bottle of lucas oil Fuel injector treatment; then the problems started. A day after that service, when starting the car cold I get a sputter and big snow white cloud of smoke then it would go away. While driving, I smell nor see smoke and it drove exceptionally well so I assumed everything was being "blown out". Fast forward to today (3 weeks later) I still have the white cloud when starting cold, then it fades to a faint blue. On my 6 mile stretch down I-270 to work I cruised at 65. When accelerating off the highway to about 45mph i could not see out of the rearview due to a grayish-blue cloud of smoke.   Many people have assumed it could be a cracked head/block?, others assumed it could be the fuel treatment clogging the fuel filter, and needing another oil change. From your experiences, please let me know what you might think may be the problem. IM NOT READY TO GET RID OF HER! THANKS IN ADVANCE Replies to this message: dtownfb (May 23, 2009 6:36 pm) moonshadow (May 24, 2009 4:34 pm)
