The 2001 General Motors (Oldsmobile Division) Intrigue came equipped with the 3.5L engine and 4-speed automatic transmission FWD. One method of purging air from the cooling system after repairs and flushing it involves refilling it, and running the motor and heater, and leaving the radiator pressure cap off to 'burp' off the air trapped inside.
Locate the plug on the bottom of the radiator to drain it. Put some radiator cleaner in and drain it again.
You carefully remove the top coolant hose to the heater, not totally off, just enough so air can get out.
Remove coolant cap, allow engine to get to operating temperature, turn on heater full blast and patiently wait for air to escape system.
