Dodge Intrepid

On the 2.7 and 3.2 engines, the thermostat is located at the end of the lower radiator hose, behind the power steering pump. It involves draining the coolant, removal of the lower hose and the the thermostat that is attached to it. On 3.2L engines, you have to remove the oil filter as well. There is a heater hose attached to the thermostat housing at the block that has to be removed also. Its a 2 inch long piece of rubber hose, and you just loosen the clamp on one side of it.

Once you have both hoses off, you can remove the thermostat housing, and the thermostat. It has 2 bolts with 10mm heads. Make sure you replace the gasket and clean the surface.

Its not common for the thermostat to go bad on these cars so check your water pump if you have a 2.7L engine, and inspect the rest of the system to make sure there are no problems elsewhere/.

Real Life Note -- If noticing dripping on ground safely lift car and inspect the underside. If coolant is coming out a small hole (weep hole) next to the thermostat housing, that means your water pump is leaking and it needs to be brought to a mechanic. (major job involving lots of work and removal of many many parts - not the job for weekend mechanic sorry) On the other hand if you see coolant dripping from the thermostat housing that's a $30.00 fix. Replace gasket and buy a new thermostat since you got it apart.

My 2001 Dodge Intrepid water pump went bad at 51000 miles and gasket started leaking at 70000 miles. Water pump cost me $500.00 - Gasket I could do myself.

If you want to make yourself feel better most likely your Intrepid is paid for by now and $500.00 for a fix is what a new car payment is on a decent car. If you have to put $500.00 in the car now to fix it.- what the heck its paid for.

It is on the left front of engine. Points at the left front cam shaft. UNplug the wire , unscrew bolt, and pull sensor out.

actuall, it may depend on the engine you have. on the 3.3 there are 4! one on each side, fairly easy to get to, in the collecter area of the exhast manifold. another on each side after the small catalytic convertor, and before the two pipes come together.these are up behind a frame type crosspiece, and very hard to get to.

Most mechanics refer a "Cracked head" as a Cracked cylinder head, This is usually repairable, but expensive and MUST be repaired. A Cracked Block means that the engine block is cracked and MUST be replaced. This is EXTREMELY expensive But ENTIRELY necessary. Any additional strain being cause by WOT or Heavy loads can destroy the engine. It is STRONGLY Advised you do not drive the vehicle in any of these conditions. This condition is rare on Ford Tauri with the "Vulcan" engine due to its Cast Iron Block, however if the vehicle has been abused severely it is not entirely uncommon. You should check fluids in the least annually and make sure the vehicle doesn't overheat. Cracked heads are also rare especially on the "Vulcan" power plant, However, Again, If severely abused not entirely uncommon. I've seen this occur on vehicles that were loaned out to careless teens that took the vehicle for spins and returned the vehicle is poor almost destroyed (engine-wise) condition due to their carelessness, It is not entirely uncommon to find a vehicle with cracked heads or blocks due to careless teenagers doing burnouts or doughnuts. If your block is cracked, You might as well buy a new engine. The cost with labor will so extensive you would be better to start anew.

Try the rad. fan or the rad. fan relay

With the hood up look at the outer end of the Headlight, You will see what looks like a snap together piece. wiggle the corner light and this will help you to see the clip that has to be moved in order for the light to slide out so you can change the bulb...I myself just put new headlights in my 96 dodge intrepid.

It is located inside the transmission, on top of the valve body. Remove trans oil pan, drop the valve body and the shift/control soleniod is on the body.

try replacing the thermostat

Check for codes(possible cam sensor), check fuel pressure bleed down(possible fuel pump).

Disconect the battery for a few minutes!

Pop the hood , from ur perspective standing in front of the car

.....reach down on the passenger side of the car (side near the air filter box) and the

drain plug/petcock valve is at the very bottom on the radiator (prob need a flash light to see it) and it drains out of a hole under the shrouding underneath the car (you can't see the drain hole from standing with the hood up, you have to reach look underneath straight under where the hole opens, or once the valve is open you will see the coolant draining), the valve does not come out of the radiator.

Turn it counter clockwise from the 3 o'clock position which it should be at closed to the 12 o'clock position for partial drain........or to the 9 o'clock position to open it completely.

The fuse diagram is found in the cars owners manual. It can also be found etched or glued onto the cover of the fuse panel.

Open the hood and stand in front of your car. The first spark plug on your left hand is cylinder one.

Dodge does not use inertia/reset switches.

Trouble code P0155 means: O2 Heater Circuit (Bank 2, Sensor 1)

there isn't one try changeing the relay

it is controlled by the ecm

If it's a 1999, here you go. Three screws on the bottom of the plastic panel. Remove the speaker grille by pinching the ends and easing it out. Then look for three deep-set screws. Yank them. Then there's a screw in the recess hand grab handle, as well as by the door handle grab. There is either a speaker or a blank in the corner of the window that has four screws; two on the front portion, two on the inside after the cover comes off. The speaker or blank is two pieces; one that attaches to the door frame and one that attaches to that piece. There are either two or three nylon push screws that I would conisder sacrificial. Once all the fasteners are off, pull the panel from the bottom and you will fins a wiring harness and a door linkage arm. The blue plastic clip on the edge of the arm at the door handle rotates off on the same plane as the rod itself. Then remove the four or five wiring devices. The black plastic sound deadener is glued on and will come off if you're careful. Hope this helps.

There is no external fuel filter than can be changed. There is only the sock that is on the bottom of the fuel pump.

I don't know if this will help, but I had a similar problem and it was a short in the light switch. Because the alarm was wired into the light switch. I wiggled the switch and it started. Change it.

The specs you are looking for may be found in the dodge service manuals or bulletins, which can be printed out for you at any dealership that services dodge vehicles. You have to be nice when asking for them.On the other hand, go to autozone or hi-lo or any shop that sells manuals for the Chrysler Concorde or intrepid, they may be there.I did not get the question clear though, and, in addition to the above, are you trying to set the timing or replace worn out parts? Do you need the torque specs or ????????If its the timing, then rotate both of them until they are 90deg from the mating surface on the exhaust. Use the dots or arrows inside the timing gears on both left and right camshaft gears. The dot that looks punched in will be your best bet. The gold markings are also good, but depends on the condition of your chain.

Post again if you need more info, or explain which specs you are after.

At this point I can't help you but the same thing just happened to my driver side door handle yesterday (what a pain in the axx). I'm getting ready to try and tackle it now and I'll let you know how it works out.
