1992 Chevrolet Lumina Z-34 review from North America

"Performance with problems"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Replaced all 6 fuel injectors.

Alternator died.

Exhaust rusted out.

Factory Del-co/Bose audio system completely died. It only works for about 5 minutes and then totally cuts out. I think it's the amplifier.

Transmission has numerous little problems.

EGR valve is turning on the "Service Engine Soon" light everyday.

Rear brake caliper seized.

ABS relay shorted out.

Condenser and evaporator are both in need of replacing, therefore I have no air conditioning.

Courtesy circuit (fuse #3) has shorted and keeps popping the fuse. The power locks, dome light, and cigarette lighter are on this fuse.

General comments?

This is a great car... when it is running properly.

The suspension makes the car handle like a dream.

This engine, however, is a mechanics nightmare. A few common problems are such a pain to fix or replace. e.g. Alternator and timing belt.

I bought this car for $5000 and I have put well over $3000 into it and it still needs a ton of work done to it.

The only time I ever got the performance I should have was when I cleaned the injectors and ran a bottle of "GM Top Engine Cleaner" through it.
