If the fuel pump is losing pressure while it sits, I've seen this happen...a long warm crank time... cheapest thing to do is try a new fuel filter, and tune..etc.. Dave
The engine won't start.
To bleed air out of the cooling system of a 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue with a 3.5-liter engine, start by ensuring the engine is cool and remove the radiator cap. Then, with the heater set to the maximum setting, start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature. As the thermostat opens, check for air bubbles in the coolant; add coolant as needed to maintain the level. Once you see a steady stream of coolant without bubbles, replace the radiator cap and ensure the system is sealed.
The 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue is equipped with the Passlock I security system. This system uses a resistance-based key to prevent unauthorized vehicle start-up. When the correct key is used, the ignition module recognizes the resistance value and allows the engine to start; otherwise, the fuel injectors are disabled. If the key is not recognized, the vehicle may enter a security mode, preventing it from starting.
Its either your cam shaft position sensor or the crank sensor.
To check the transmission fluid in a 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue, start by warming up the engine and then parking the vehicle on a level surface. With the engine running, locate the transmission dipstick, which is usually near the back of the engine. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and then pull it out again to check the fluid level. The fluid should be within the marked range on the dipstick; if it’s low, add the appropriate transmission fluid as specified in the owner's manual.
I would start by checking the fuse, the relay, and the connector on the blower itself.
It IS possible. Tell us more-- does it crank over? Have you checked anything else?
turn off engine, and start again
To disengage the security system on your Oldsmobile Intrigue, insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position without starting the engine. Wait for about 10 minutes until the security light turns off, indicating that the system has reset. If the light remains on or the car does not start, you may need to use a spare key or consult your owner's manual for specific troubleshooting steps. If problems persist, consider seeking assistance from a professional mechanic.
Engine rotates but will not start
the positive battery teminal was very corroded when i bought mine and was having similar problems i'd check there first
We have a 1998 Intrigue and I can tell you why we were losing power and it was getting kinda' scary, although it would start right up again after I pulled over, put it in park and restarted it. We had an oil leak and it was dripping on to a sensor.
