I have a 1998 Dodge Intrepid 3.2L engine. I drove about 10 miles and i came back to the car and i had trouble starting it. It won't turn over but everything comes on, the radio and a/c still works but it won't turn over. I gave it a little gas when starting it and it turned over. I then drove it about 10 more miles and noticed my Gauge said hot. I parked it for 5 min and ran into the store. Came out it started just fine, Gauge still says hot. I then drove it home (on the express way about 5 miles) and parked it at home. Gauge still says hot. I went out 10 min later and the car wouldn't turn over.It cranked but won't turn over. About an hour later i went out and it started as if nothing ever happened. The next morning I got in and everything worked fine, by noon I went out to my car and my turn signals, windows, and ac didn't work when I started it. My air bag, and abs light was on on the dash. Everything worked fine when I turned the key but didn't start it. I went out to my car after work and everything worked just fine.
So I took it to Belle Tire to have them diagnose it and I explained all this to them. They said that there are no leaks and that the car is running perfect to them. They said that it could be a cooling fan. Do you agree? About how much am I looking at with this issue??
Also, the car doesn't overheat during regular city driving and I checked the coolant, it's full and there is also oil in it. The Gauge does not always read hot, it only reads hot after I drive it on the freeway.
