problem #1

Jul 152003

Intrigue

  • Automatic transmission
  • 77,000 miles
My 1998 olds Intrigue failed to start one time, then two times after that it stopped running without warning, within 3 miles of my house. It would then fail to restart for 30 minutes or more, as others have reported. After taking to be repaired twice, they were unable to repeat the problem. Looking over the engine, I noticed the wire running from the from the top of the engine was out of one of its holders. I replaced that and also cleaned battery contact. This problem has not happened again in the 2,000 miles since then.
