1994 Chevrolet Lumina 3.1 review from North America
"-High Performance beast-"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first got the car, I had an oil change and ran great up until the radiator bypass hose split and drained all the anti-freeze all over the exhaust manifold at about 117,00 miles.
The throttle body got dirty and the idle was getting very high on cold mornings, so I got the throttle cleaned and the computers reset to put the car back into normal idle mode.
General comments?
This car has done me very well since I wrapped my Mercury Mystique around a tree in Feb. 2003. I have made a few modifications to the car like a performance air filter, and performance muffler on it. I have plans to buy new rims and get the front lowered, and make a few minor engine mods. to make this beefy 6 cylinder louder, and faster than any other Lumina on the streets. I figure I'll modify a car that nobody would modify. I don't have your standard Honda Civic, or Accord, I kick it old school with an American made Chevy Lumina.
