A Dodge Intrepid is a little unique in that the next step, after battery and alternator change, the next thing to check is the voltage regulator. Some Intrepid's the regulator is internal in the alternator. Many the regulator is built in to the ECU. Ok, your new alternator is still not charging so you apparently have the kind in the ECU. But geez..they are expensive, best deal I could find is at: http://carcomputerexchange.com/dodge/intrepid/2002-02-dodge-intrepid-ecm-pcm-engine-control-module/prod_166.html....$200. Except eBay and you don't know what you're getting, could be somebody pawning off a bad one. that happens..and you are stuck with it. Maybe you can have yours tested....not sure

ive got a 2002 3.5 v6 es dodge intrepid and this morning when i went to start it it cranked over breifly but as soon as i give it a little gas the thing shut's off. the oil light has been coming on lately when i put the ignition in standby mode right b4 i start it and it ding's. i have replaced the battery, the coolant reservoir, and the thermostat all in the last 6 mo.'s and i have read somewhere that there could be air in the coolant system and to bleed that out and refill with fresh coolant. also maybe an oil change? could this be a pump issue, or maybe a head? the manual says do an oil change every 3000 mi.'s so that is due. it has recently began to turn cold outside and im thinking that that is what has brought on this problem. also, i noticed that the coolant reservoir was practically empty and that is why i thought maybe air had gotten in the pipes and jimmy'd something on the block resulting in a non-start due to the cold weather. any suggestion's? 3 Answers

the car is in great running condition but may need minor maintenance repair
