Is the 2004 alero the same engine. I’ve noticed the same thing I sit idle I overheat n when I give in gas n start going I cool off. I just went n replaced both hoses cuz they looked like they were leaking. Well I was having problem with overheating the car is used so I’m not sure if the water pump has previously been replaced but it definitely is making a noise it’s coming from the water pump n leaking underneath that spot on the ground I can’t actually see the leak but it’s coming out pretty good. So before I go buy my pump from oreillys my buddy works there do u think maybe I should look into this Cadillac engine first since I’m having the idling problem.? I thought that was odd myself sitting n overheating vs driving n going to normal.
So my 1994 oldsmobile cutlass ciera 3.1 v6 keeps wanting to stall out when idling why
Hi matt, i have a 2000 Intrigue with a 3.5 and ive had it since new. I just replaced the radiator and water pump. I had none of the troubles you discussed. I did use a new delco water pump from rock auto. It was 45 dollars and as far as bleeding the air i raised the front of the car 10 inches and just poured in the coolant until it stopped gurgling started the car turned on the heater and filled it some more. No problems
I'm having the same issued on my 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue.
Did the GM Part's fix the problem?
I have the same car and replaced the same parts still overheating
The firestone complete auto care said Head gasket leaking Internally ??
I have a 2000 intrigue w the 3.5 twin cam .is thisCaddy engine as well. ? I think it's a gx model. Also can youttell me where yougot the parts ? And do you have video for bleeding the coolant ?
This all makes sense now. I had to bring the rpms up for it to cool down. Im having issues with the coolant light staying lite. Every time i check the fluids, it has not moved. The car has started to do a "putput" feeling, so i stopped driving it. Did you make a video after? How do i get a discontinued part?
Do you know of the 1999 is the same thing?
Did the new gm parts fix overheating issue?
Hey man if can get ahold of me I have a 1998 oldsmobile intrigue and its overheating as well and I couldn't run a diagnostic port to see what the problem is I changed the oil and ever since then it started to over heat please get ahold of me thanks
Your advice and information is spot on, but i would suggest getting rid of the dexcool crap. It's terrible and really hard on the engine in the long run
I am impressed. Well done. U did an amazing job explaining everything.
I have a 01 olds intrigue same problem I got the water pump from gm but they discontinued the thermostat housing and thermostat it runs a little hot but when I give it gas up to 2500 rpms it goes back down to normal temp then I notice that it has air pockets in it the house by back of motor that runs to heater core pops with pressure I cant figure it out at all
Where is the thermostat coolant sensor located on a 2002 olds intrigue GL
Hello Matthew, I have an Oldsmobile intrigue, 2002, GL. I replaced the thermostat and the reservoir but now my low engine coolant light is staying on. It wasn't on before and my coolant is not low
Make a video how to bleed it please
crap I wished I would have watched this before. I could of just redo the gasket on the old water pump. Nope bought the new one and have the same problem as you.
Is the thermostat located in the same place on a 98 alero?
Oh I'm working on a 97 trying to anyway
Did the dealership parts fix that problem for you
GM water pump only, the impeller is deeper into the water pump housing
Matt I just bought a 2002 intrigue that overheats and see a lot of this buy only factory parts is there a way to talk to you directly I don't have lots of money to spend on trial and error and I want to talk to you about your time fixing this so I can better direct my mechanic
I’m pretty sure I need a new thermostat
My battery is n da backseat tho
Yes I had da V8 motor
It has a 4.0 northstar Cadillac
I have a 1999 Oldsmobile Aurora it’s been running hot too which seems like a common issue with these cars cuz I had a 1995 that overheated too
