How do I drain and replace the coolant in my 1999
You fill at the coolant or surge tank,and the drain plug should be on the side with the lower radiator hose or the passenger side,it will look like a thumb screw or wing design urn counterclockwise and pull out at the same time.

There is a plug in the bottom inner side, facing the engine, on the drivers side. Hope this helps, TJ

How can i fix the electrical problems with my 1999 oldsmobile intrigue. Sometimes the headlights flicker on and off. The air works except sometimes when i turn it on it blows cold and other times it
You have not indicated whether you live in the "rust belt" of the northern United States, or in the south.
Up north, salt damage can cause all this, because it can get into the harness sockets and short out all things electric.
Another consideration.
When your car was made, at various times in the assembly, wire harnesses were plugged in to one another.
If you car was ever in a wreck, the connections could loosen, causing this.
And, last but no least, sometimes people have to add a bunch of extra "ground wires" to their car, because some get unhooked by various persons working on the car, and do not get reconnected. Sometimes these are in areas of the car you cannot see, they are hidden.
God bless your efforts.
1999 oldsmobile intrigue 3.8 v6 starts like a champ replaced the maf sensor two weeks ago, as well as battery, thermostat and air filter.. after running for about 3 min or so she will bog down sputter
Use a voltmeter to check the DC voltage to the maf by probing the back of the connector on the pink and black wires. Have someone start the car while you watch the meter. It should show the alternator voltage of 13.5-14.5 vdc, and it should stay constant. Watch it until the engine dies. If the car passes this test, switch from the pink wire to the yellow wire and do the same thing. The voltage on the yellow wire will be lower, but it should not change much until the engine dies.
If the car fails either of these tests, there is some problem with the wiring.
If the car passes these tests, the circuit is probably ok.
That means something is probably blocking airflow. Remove the air filter and look/feel upstream. Check the inlet duct on the front of the car for blockage. Maybe a plastic bag got stuck in there...

You must hook up a scanner that can read the ABS system to the diagnostic connector under the dash and see what faults codes are present in memory.
AC on 1999 Oldsmobile intrigue not working correctly.
the air feels hot ( compressed) because the ac compressor is not working
you say that occasionally it kicks in and then the air is cold
that could be either a climate control module , thermostat compressor relay problem but which ever way you look at it it will cost cash
the best way is to have the problem properly diagnosed by an accredited ac specialist shop and get a quote and then decide on the fix
My 1999 Olds Intrigue, 3.5 motor, auto trans,
could be a good candidate for the overheating problem
it is probably the oil line that goes to the oil cooler in the radiator and if it doesn't have sufficient flow then the oil in the transmission gets progressively hotter
before replacing it consider this
transmission oil coolers that are in the radiator tank keep the oil at coolant temps which is around 95 C
if you spend a bit of cash and fit an air to air transmission cooler , it brings the operating temp of the oil down to 1/2 ambient temp
besides the fact that your are now removing an added heat source from the coolant of the engine the results are --cooler running engine and cooler running transmission
worth talking to an accredited transmission specialist shop

Try the cheapest Fixes first 1) change the air filter. 2) change the fuel filter. Add 1 can of B&G44K to a full tank of 91 octane fuel. This additive is the best on the market and only available through dealerships(Do not substitute). It will condition the fuel pump and injectors. Try this first, Then redo the ODBII test. Erase all stored faults after reading. Put a dab of RTV on the bare wires at the crank sensor to insulate wires.
