1994 Buick Century Special review from North America
"Very reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My spark plugs went bad when I bought it.
Replaced a vacuum hose because car sputtered badly.
Replaced Muffler for better flow.
Removed Air cleaner restrictor +5HP.
Installed Performance chip +20HP.
General comments?
I have heard that this is a very reliable car except for the fact that they are notorious for blowing alternators if the engine is taken past 5,000 Rpm.
After replacing the spark plugs, muffler, restrictor, and chip, I now have 190HP, Originally 160HP.
Very quick, smoked tires very well.
