Did you recently take on (or consider) a loan of 84 months or longer on a car purchase?

My 02 Intrigue covered about 119.5k w/o any engine, driveline or a/c problems..Had new plugs installed around 111k..All Florida driving.., mileage on regular was 24/31..Drive the GTO on those long trips and have some fun..
Have a good day...
Interior of this car is immaculate - like new. Just have the dash/centre vent issue. Came with 4 snows on rims and with wheel covers. $6300 CDN + tax etc. Had the rotors done and am totally in love with the car - it was time for some luxury after driving my Mazda 3 for the past three years.
Have read almost ALL the posts on the forum - thanks to all for their insights.

Thanks,

Are you having any other issues with the car?
Chad
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Also, a month or so before this started (possibly unrelated) my gas mileage dropped about 3 mpg or so (same driving conditions, etc). I changed my fuel filter when I got the car, my tire pressure is correct, I'm now showing any error codes, my alignment is correct, my air filter is good, my spark plugs are good, recently had my oil changed, made sure they put in 5w-30, recently put in fuel injector cleaner (slight mpg improvement).
I've had my Intrigue since it had 98,000 miles about 16months ago. I currently have 138,000 miles
The car easily passed inspection yesterday, no major repairs over the 8 1/2 years. I had to lube the intermediate shaft twice (once under warranty), replaced 2 brake lines that rusted and I had a control arm break. Aside from that it was just brakes and service.
I am about to pull the trigger on a Malibu LT2 with a 3.6L, moonroof and the top line stereo.
I will pop my head in here still every now and again because I love Intrigues but in the end I wanted a new car and it was time for change. I'm sure my Intrigue has many good years ahead and the buyer is a young 23 year old starting off a career. Surprise!
If it has not rained then the likely culprit is a clogged AC drain. If it has rained then the leak is most likely coming through the cabin air filter.
i have the 01 intrigue also but dont get the code but have the same hissing noise and from listening to it i found the source, sounds like it comes from a box on the drivers side which can be seen by looking under the front drivers side bumper. Is this the air pump? If so you mentioned changing it by removing the headlight? Next is the vacuum line problem a hose that is connected to this box (or air pump if that is what it is)? Mine has product number GM 12564282 on the box. Thanks in advance!!!

Since you changed struts and BJ's then the most likely overlooked part is the sway bar link. It's down low but when these things wear out, they make an ungodly rattle that sounds like it's coming from everywhere. It is not disconnected when doing front struts and is often overlooked but is disconnected when replacing the back struts.
The front one is a fancy bolt with spacers etc and attaches to the lower control arm and to the sway bar.
The rear is 6 inch rod with two ball sockets at both ends and attaches to the sturt body and the sway bar.
I guess more of the enthusiasts have moved on.
Still a lot of Intrigues out there and DIY looking for help.
march 21, 1999
no more leasing at GM so my wife and i are looking at a audi q5 now.
There's a lot of posts out there about the CPS, I suggest reading back through, that's a lot about it, though I believe if I remember correctly (never had the problem myself) that it was something that came up and it did fix the issue.
As for the Alternator, if it was working before, even though at 55amps and now the new one isn't, even though I haven't had do replace an alternator (hopefully some others can have some good alternator advice) I would guess you screwed up a connection somewhere. Does the still start fine?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Cindy :confuse:
Just thought of another question to ask. This is the first intrigue I've owned, and I've never had one with the ignition on the dash. When I bought it from the dealer, I mentioned to them, that I noticed once the car is not running and parked, that I can't get the steering wheel to lock in place. They told me since the ignition is on the dash, they do not lock. Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks again!
