CHECK COOLANT LEVEL MOST NEWER VECHICLE DONT HAVE RADIATOR CAP YOU HAVE TO POUR COOLANT IN THE COOLANT OVERFLOW JUG THE COOLANT WILL GO TO RADIATOR. IF THE COOLANT OVERFLOW JUG EMPTY ADD COOLANT UNTIL COOLANT LEVEL STOP DROPPING AT STAY AT FULL COLD MARK.IF COOLANT OKAY,NEED TO REPLACE THERMOSTAT AND COOLANT OVERFLOW JUG PRESSURE CAP. IF ALL BEEN DONE. MOST OF THE TIME WHEN CAR OVERHEATING WHILE MOVING. RADIATOR CORES STOPPED UP OR RADIATOR GRILLE DIRTY OR RESRICTED.ENGINE BLOCK COOLANT PASSAGES CLOGGED AND HEATER CORE CLOGGED.CHECK WATER PUMP SEE IF WATER PUMP WEEP HOLE LEAKING IF SO REPLACE WATER PUMP.IF ENGINE OVERHEATING AT A LONG TRAFFIC LINE ENGINE COOLING FANS NOT RUNNING EITHER COOLING FANS FUSE AND RELAYS BAD.OR ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE BAD. THE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR TURNS ON COOLING FANS AT A CERTAIN TEMPERATURE IF SENSOR BAD FANS WONT TURN ON. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE 50 /50 MIXTURE OF COOLANT AND WATER IN COOLING SYSTEM.

It's usually the thermostat, I woud pressure test the cap. It may need to be flushed. Are the fans working? Is there a 50/50 mix of anti-freeze

1999 intrigue overheated added fluid but wont start?

You may have blown a head gasket and there is coolant in the combustion chamber. You need to have a compression test run to verify this.

Overheating Intrigue

Check your coolant level and see if it is down. If you have checked heads you will notice your engine oil beginning to turn milky white.

If you want a more complete check for cracked heads, plug all spark plugs, and if you can get a coolant pressure tester, pump it up to 12 or 13 psi and then crank the engine over. Watch for water to spray out of one of the cylinders.
