Read through the chilton and I'm as far as getting the balancer bolt out- supposedly you should be able to pull off the balancer by hand- I've been yankin it for days now- I don't think I could fit a pulley puller in there so close to the inner fender- anyone know any tips or tricks??
Thanks!!

I changed the CPS on my 01 Intrigue. Hopefully, its the same process that I used. I tried to pull out the CPS for a long, long time before I got it out. You can't get it out by hand its too awkward of a position to get enough force using just your hand. I used my socket wrench extension as a lever to pry it out. It came out immediately using that extension. Make sure that the electrical connector is disconnected before you pry out the CPS. I hope that helps. BTW, do they have a Chilton manual for the 01 intrigue ? I couldn't find one anywhere.

I have a 99 Intrigue. I am trying to find the Crank sensor. Could you tell me where it is located?
Thanks

In the 3.5L Intrigue, it is located behind the starter.

Hi , I just did mine,this weekend and it was not too bad. you will need a 10MM & a 15MM combo wrench. pentrating oil would bee too bad either. In order to remove the crankshaft sensor, you wil have to get the starter down. Make sure to disconnect the battery before starting. There are 2 15 MM bolts if you look straight up. Loosen them and the starter will drop. Then remove the wires from the starter and remove the toy starter. (really small starter for such a powerful engine), next if you look straight up where the starter was, you will see a electrical wire connected to the plug with a bolt going thru the sensor where it is held in place. Use your 10MM wrench to remove the bolt hoding the sensor. once the bolt is out, use the screwdriver to pry the sensor from the holding plate. It should come out fairly easy. Once out, reinstall in the same order and push the new sensor in until it pops, meaning past the oring which holds it in place. Make sure you connect the sensor before reinstalling the starter. It took me ahwile to wiggle the starter back into place, but after a few tries you will do it too.!!!! I also changed the cam sensor on top!!! This one is located underneath the Dexcool fill bottle and much simpler to replace. Take a look at your new sensor and see what it looks like before taking out the old ones to have an idea on how the bracket and sensor looks like!!!! good luck and email me should you have any questions.

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.

There are so many complaints about the factory crank sensor (including mine)- A LOT of people have them replaced. I sometimes see a bad battery over-draw on an alternator causing alternator failure.... or the other way round. I've seen bad alternators drain batteries down too far to revive. Have them both replaced, along with the crank sensor and you should be fine.
PS- be easy with that tranny - I hear from multiple people that they bite the dust if you over do it with high miles.
I do beat the crap outta mine and she still runs great- tranny does some wierd stuff once in a while.

Climate Control Exterior Temp 32 or less

'98 Climate control says exterior temp is 32 although it's over 70 and the ac won't come on. If the car sits and is running the exterior temp never changes. If you drive the car, within 2 to 3 miles the temp jumps to 40+ and the ac will come on.

You need to change the air temperature sensor. It's located in front of the radiator.
