Report: Crankshaft Position Sensor, Ignition/Powertrain Control Module May Fail

Oldsmobile Intrigue Problem
3 Reports

Model Years Affected: 1998, 1999

Verified

The crankshaft position sensor, ignition module, and/or powertrain control module (PCM) may fail resulting in illumination of the Check Engine Light with ignition system related fault codes stored in the PCM. Patience is necessary when dealing with this specific situation as normal diagnostic procedures are not effective. In many cases, the best option is to replace parts, one at a time until the fault is corrected.

    Car started shaking badly, barely running. Found out one coil pack was not firing. swapped coil for another one, still cylinders 2 and four wouldn't fire. Changed module and fixed problem. Easy to do.
    All my problems were after the 140k mark.
