it is under the black plastic upper intake, that the throttle body bolts to

It should have a bleeder screw on top of the thermostat housing.

it should be under the passanger side front dash behind the clove box

Kent-Moore has a special tool for this purpose. Failing that, you can use a three-bolt puller, but do NOT completely unscrew the balancer pulley bolt before using the 3-bolt, just loosen it up a bit. The Kent-Moore tool works with the bolt removed.

It could either be a bad ignition coil, a bad ignition rotor, a bad ignition cap, a bad ignition control module (if equipped), or a bad coil to cap wire.

The flasher on a 2002 Alero is all part of the hazard switch up on the dash. I just had mine replaced under GM's special policy for the signal light problem and I asked them where the flasher was.

body control modual. $140 from dealer. common problem among gm's

where is cam senor on a 91 cutlass ciera 3300

Check along the top of the steering column under the dash; on older ones they are sometimes attached to the column.

P0300 Diagnostic Code - Random Misfire

Symptoms.
Engine may stumble or miss
Engine may be hard to start
you may notice no issues

Cause
Failing spark plugs or spark plug wires
Bad coil or coil pack
Failing oxygen sensor(s)
Bad fuel injector or more than one
Stuck exhaust valve
Bad catalytic converter
EGR valve or valve passage clogging
Bad camshaft position sensor
Bad PCM or ECM

The Fix
Best first action is a tune up, new plugs, wires, inspect all hoses and wire connections then reset the code. If it returns you will need to narrow it down to a system, coils and coil packs should be tested, catalytic converters for function ( do you smell rotten eggs?). A misfire that jumps cylinders could indicate a lean condition, do you have any other codes along with the 300? this will help clue you in to the source, check valve function to make sure they are opening and closing fully.
This is probably pone of the most difficult codes to troubleshoot, so start with the basics and work your way into the more expensive options, in many cases a good old tune up solves the problem, back it up with a fuel system cleaning and see where you stand.

.030-.045 lower side for points and higher side for HEI

It is integrated into the alternator, if it is bad you will need to replace the alternator.

have you changed any pulleys alt. etc.make sure they all have same amount of groves for the belt to seat into!some have6 some 7 check it out

Good as far as economic..? Yes. As far as maintenance repair? Ive driven worse! I have 2 Olds Cutlass Supreme's and I love them both. Now.. every single kind of car is going to have problems. Don't get into the car and expect it to run perfectly until you sell it. If its a 3.1 liter engine, I would suggest not buying it. I have had more problems and headaches with 3.1's - cracked head gaskets, fuel pressure regulators, intake manifolds, misfires, than you'd find on say.. a 3800. But most of the parts for an Cutlass are pretty cheap, and you can find alot of them at a junk yard. The Cutlass/Malibu was probably one of the most massed produced GM vehicles ever, so its pretty easy to find parts.

cavalier and the beretta

THE STARTER FOR THE 2000 INTRIGUE IS LOCATED ON THE FRONT BANK OF THE MOTOR. LAY DOWN IN FRONT OF THE CAR AND LOOK TOWARDS THE FRONT BANK AND YOU'LL SEE IT. The starter on 3.5L engines is on the backside of the engine block slightly towards the drivers side. I just changed the starter on my 2000, 3.5L, V6, Oldsmobile Intrigue. I think both answers 1 & 2 are trying to say the same thing. I was confused by their use of "Front Bank" and "Backside" of the engine. Follow Answer 1: lay down (on your back) in front of the car, start wiggling under the car, go under the radiator, a few inches later you should go under the starter (slightly on the drivers side as stated in Answer 2), if you kept going you would go under the engine. Bottom line, it is on the side of the engine that is closest to the radiator, not the side closest to the interior of the car. The starter is held on with 2 bolts. I needed a 12 inch socket extender to get to them (actually two 6 extenders together). All in all not a bad job.

Depends on overall condition, drivetrain, mileage, options, etc...

That car doesn't have a cabin filter.

pull two clips and the entire lens will come out the TS has its own socket that usually burns out and needs to be replaced so far only available at a dreler for about $27

The emissions decal on the fan shroud will have a crude diagram telling you what goes to what. Also, a chassis manual(factory service manual) would have it, and possably a chiltons book. -Martin Deutschman Stop by www.oldspower.com they can help you out.

If you're using quickstruts, all you need to do is remove the nuts on the top (accessed by removing the rear seat or through the trunk) and the two bolts at the bottom of the strut that pass through the knuckle.

If you're not using quickstruts, there's more involved as you need to take some of the parts off the old struts to use on the new struts.

In neither case do you need a spring compressor as these are technically Chapman struts, and the spring is mounted separately.

The nuts at the top remove relatively easily. The bolts on the bottom will take quite a bit of work to remove from the knuckle if you're using a hammer. I recommend an airhammer.

Do not allow the knuckle to fall downward and stress the ball joint once the strut bolts have been removed. Do get the car aligned before driving it any distance.

It does not have a cabin filter.

If they both have a similar engine, yes
