How can i fix the electrical problems with my 1999 oldsmobile intrigue. Sometimes the headlights flicker on and off. The air works except sometimes when i turn it on it blows cold and other times it
You have not indicated whether you live in the "rust belt" of the northern United States, or in the south.
Up north, salt damage can cause all this, because it can get into the harness sockets and short out all things electric.
Another consideration.
When your car was made, at various times in the assembly, wire harnesses were plugged in to one another.
If you car was ever in a wreck, the connections could loosen, causing this.
And, last but no least, sometimes people have to add a bunch of extra "ground wires" to their car, because some get unhooked by various persons working on the car, and do not get reconnected. Sometimes these are in areas of the car you cannot see, they are hidden.
God bless your efforts.
1999 oldsmobile intrigue 3.8 v6 starts like a champ replaced the maf sensor two weeks ago, as well as battery, thermostat and air filter.. after running for about 3 min or so she will bog down sputter
Use a voltmeter to check the DC voltage to the maf by probing the back of the connector on the pink and black wires. Have someone start the car while you watch the meter. It should show the alternator voltage of 13.5-14.5 vdc, and it should stay constant. Watch it until the engine dies. If the car passes this test, switch from the pink wire to the yellow wire and do the same thing. The voltage on the yellow wire will be lower, but it should not change much until the engine dies.
If the car fails either of these tests, there is some problem with the wiring.
If the car passes these tests, the circuit is probably ok.
That means something is probably blocking airflow. Remove the air filter and look/feel upstream. Check the inlet duct on the front of the car for blockage. Maybe a plastic bag got stuck in there...

You must hook up a scanner that can read the ABS system to the diagnostic connector under the dash and see what faults codes are present in memory.
