There are few reasons: 1. you ran out of gas 2. your electrical system had shorted and terminated supply, hence, incomplete combustion 3. air supply is blocked due to dirty filter or some unforseen mechanical problem 4. radiator or water pump burst which brings the engine to overheat 5. ran out of oil and engine went overheat 6. non maintenance of engine can eventually cause sudden lock especially the engine block's pistons. Not to mention the breakage in transmission, gears, shifters.. there are many possibilities. #2 answ: There is also an electrical ignition switch (I don't remember the technical term) that can go out and you will have a devil of time finding someone who can identify that particular reason as the culprit. I had a Bronco II that would run great and would just die. Took it to 5 different shops, they ran diagnostics, etc. Couldn't find anything wrong. Went to some hole in the wall shop and the kid new what it was. Said when it goes out it acts like a kill switch. Replaced it for about $60 bucks and it ran great. Just a thought.

What would cause a '99 Oldsmobile Intrigue to just stop running?

This question doesn't have enough information to be answered and doesn't provide any symptoms. For example, are you talking about a car that runs for a while and then dies while being driven? Or are you talking about a car that was ran fine the last time it was driven, but when you tried to start it today, it wouldn't start? As for symptoms, a good example would be checking to see if the headlights turn on. Whether or not the headlights come on can be a useful piece of information when diagnosing a car that won't start. Bottom-line -- if you want a good answer, you have to ask a specific question and include details about the symptoms.
