The Intrique, along with every other GM car made, are known to get clogged cooling systems. The DEX Cool coolant they use is one of the worst ideas out there. USually ranning a bottle of coolant flush, driving it, then flushing it out, then another bottle of flush, then driving it, then flushing it out, then another bottle of coolant flush, then refilling with standard green coolant, and installing a inline coolant filter, to get any more dexcool coolant particles. ----------------
In my professional opinion, Dexcool accelerates oxidation of parts, but does not directly cause clogging. A flush might not be a bad idea anyway. I'd recommend that universal yellow long-life instead of the green. --
1. Remember when flushing to make sure the front of the condenser and/or radiator is not plugged with seeds, dirt, etc. You can clean this with a normal water hose. DO NOT use a pressure washer as this will bend the fins.
2. Verify that as the car is getting warm (on its way to hot) that the fans are working. If the fans are not working, check the coolant temp sensor before the fans themselves. Check fuses and relays.
3. Replace the coolant pressure cap. If it's not holding pressure, the system will overheat.
Overheating is rarely a "plugged" issue on modern cars.
Oldsmobile Intrigue was created in 1997.
Oldsmobile Intrigue 1999 is negative ground.
Were. Is the oldsmobile intrigue relay switch. Loocated
take out the old one then put a new one in the same way you got the old one out
It is located on the front passenger side of the motor. It is part of the water neck assembly. You have to replace the entire unit neck and all. They run about 50 dollars. Actually the thermostat on the 2000 Intrigue is located on the drivers side of the motor.
The labor time to replace a thermostat on your 2000 Olds Intrigue, is about one hour. How much it costs depends on the Hourly Shop Rate at the repair facility that you select. Just ask them what their hourly rate is & that will also be your labor expense. Also, cost of the thermostat, around $15.00.
You need to replace the entire assembly . done mine 2 ours joe
As long as the 1999 has the 3.5L engine, yes.
yes They are all the same on the body parts
where is the crank sensor located on a 2002 Oldsmobile intrigue 3.5
2002 was the last model year that Oldsmobile Intrigues were produced. The Intrigue was the first Oldsmobile to end production in the process of phasing out the Oldsmobile brand. The last Intrigue rolled off the factory floor in June of 2002.
