I have a 2000 Intrepid that came with a 2.7, I bought it with a blown motor. I did the 3.5 HO conversion on the car. It ran great until latley. when I start the car in the morning the check engine light will come on, after I drive it for a couple minutes the check engine light will start flashing and the car has reduced power. I have checked the codes and the are as follows: #6 Injector, #6 Cylinder and Circuit Malfuntion. Some times it will also say Mas air flow and air volume, not sure on the last one but I think I have it correct.
Anyway the car will run rough and miss until it reaches operating tempature and then it runs fine,as long as the car does not cool off it will run great all day, in fact the check engine light will go out after a few time of starting it.
But if I leave it set and the motor cools down it will miss and the check engine light come back on until it's up to temp again.
Any ideas? I have another Intrepid that was rolled and has the 3.5 conversion done to it also so I can swap parts if needed.

There's a few here on this site who have done that swap, but you may want to try over here: http://www.dodgeintrepid.net/or use the search feature about swaps. I know there were a couple of threads over there.

I installed all new injectors when I put the motor in, along with the timing belt and water pump. The codes are as I said, no numbers, I have one of those little Mac tools that read the codes and can clear them, It's about twice the size of a key fob. I have smelled something hot so that must be the converter.

How are you checking codes? On my old 3.5 swap the codes the ODO read back after the key dance were different than the ones that showed up on my basic Actron Scanner.
