I have A 97 intrepid 3.5 liter with 126026 miles on it.
its a basket case. I need 2 get to work in the am.
here are the symptoms.#1,43 code and its as stock as it can be,plus I have replaced the gaskets. ie
intake injector rails,plenum,throttle all of them! champ plugs, new coil new wiers,it is all torqued2
It starts all fluids ok but it acts like A vaccum leak,I get A engin back fier when I accelerate and This whistle? the back fire is throttle not exaust.
is it the manifold and plenum areas warped or is it that my exaust is pluged ie CAT? all I know is what time i have driven it it didnt over heat and no coolant leaks,in or out?ie in oil the #1&3 cyls have148,150 comp n 5246 have 180 comp.
i youneed any more info ask. it runs real boggy and pop serges when trying to accel.n at speed it surges and feels like the bottom is comming out.
it will run fine for a minute or 2 then back to the afor mentioned symptoms? I just got overA panic attackthis one willkillme orgo crazy4real helppleas

Sounds like you have a crossed plug wire, possibly also check the intake tube that connects the intake plenum to the MAS for any possible leaks.
Ok, dude, calm down. it’s just a car. don’t go crazy and all that,,,, you are going to say, whatever, go away backyard boy, but take this for serious. these intrepids have mega problems with the fuel Gage sending unit. the gas Gage will read 1/4 tank or more, but the tank is empty, or very close to empty. the symptoms sound like there is a lack of fuel pressure. if you don’t have the tools to check the pressure, try adding a couple of gallons of gas. this is very common!!! it still runs poorly because there is just enough gas in it for the pump to pick up gas, then air, then gas……and so on. it causes a lean condition, and lean backfire. the hissing, or whistling noise is the iac motor opening all of the way to try to keep enough engine speed. try it, even though it sounds far-fetched.. if you don’t try it, you will bang your head on the wall later when you finally do put gas in it. trust me, I’m not crazy……well….a little crazy. if it does have enough fuel, the pump could be bad, but these pumps are usually bullet-proof.
Sounds like a bad injector.
