Heater not blowing hot air
Even if the coolant (antifreeze) level is sufficient, the heater does have a bad habit of turning into an AC if the low coolant sensor is lit. Otherwise, something is wrong with the heater core. This jewel is snug as a bug in a rug, right under the dash console thingy; good luck @ getting to this. Whether you access it from the firewall or under the dash, it's a real bother. The 2000 OI is the most wonky car I have been given the pleasure to own, as it is electrically driven. If something goes wrong with a sensor, fix the sensor and then the problem it suggests (since the sensor is probably the real problem.)
SHOULD MY CAR KEY HAVE A CHIP IN IT FOR A 2000 OLDS INTRIGUE
No there is no chip on that model. It is a Passlock system and the chip is a transponder instead. The security, antitheft or lock picture/icon is a visual indication that something in the car's antitheft system is failing. In most GM cars and trucks there is a hidden system that most people are unaware even exists. From the moment you put your key in the ignition, there begins a constant line of communication between your key's security chip or transponder, to the ignition's lock cylinder, and then to the car's TDM (Theft Deterrent Module). These 3 parts are in CONSTANT communication. If the key is in the ignition, then these parts are sending signals to each other. The security light illuminates when that signal gets broken, even just for a second. When the signal breaks, the car misinterprets this as an attempt at theft and goes into antitheft mode. The car thinks its being stolen or hotwired because it is not getting that signal from YOUR specific key. This is why the security light turns on and shuts down your vehicle. This link explains it pretty well. http://www.diy-gm-security.com/
