1991 Z34 =227,000 -the engine itself is still running strong.oh yeah i have had my share of problems with it mostly alternators 3 too be exact. and the timing belts and pulleys it runs on...2 sets of those.i have the local shop do that.there hard too get timed but he does it right..i just replaced the starter with a Delco. but when i dropped the frame in the front too get too it, i developed a small leak on the hose that runs the passenger side of the frame...it was rusty.. so i am glad it happened now instead of later...i have no idea where the back of that hose runs too...i presume that i will have too pull the engine ahead too get too it...any ideas where it goes into,on the rear of the engine? and also i noticed that the boot on the inner transaxle is split.

I have you all beat! I have a 92 lumina 3.1 with 303,000 on it. Rebuilt the engine at 275,000. What have I replaced? Water pump, Alternator, Intake manifold ( water outlet corroded into manifold - dissimilar metals), AC compressor (3 times), Fuel pump 3 times (always replace with a delco brand- Brand X pumps fail after 6 mos. with oxy- blend fuels), water level sensor (corroded), struts (all), This car is notorious for bad brakes!, rear fiberglass suspension spring. Looks like the engine will outlast the seats and dash board! Oh well....It still runs like new! Can't believe the transmission is still running smooth. Change the fluid often!!!

Re: How Many Miles on Your Lumina

I have a 92 LHO Lumina 3.1, and it has about 205,000 miles. Not running right now for some reason, but I did an engine swap after the timing chain broke in the old engine. POS.

Re: How Many Miles on Your Lumina

I got a 92' Eurosport with a 3.1L with 143K and the only major probs I have had with her is the compressor clutch...It kept on tearing up belts so after 3 of those I decide to just pull the whole thing out(I know I could have got one from a junkyard for like 60 bucks but I lived in cold michigan when I did it so I didn't see the need)....I tried forever to find the pully out a Lumina that didn't have a/c but couldn't find one so I just got a pully to fit the serpentine belt and bolted that on one of the bolt holes for the compressor....I did bust one of the super corroded coolent lines when pulling the compressor but I juse cut a few feet of the corroded part out and clamped some heater hose on it....Other than that and the alternator which was no biggie shes been pretty good to me.....

Re: How Many Miles on Your Lumina

I have a 1993 3.1 with 150,215 on it. although it runs strong it loves to stall and make me wait 7 to 15 minutes between starts and does this constantly for about and hour and then after an hour it usually runs fine...but when it isn't too busy stalling it runs like a champ.

97 Lumina LS(not sure) 3.1 59,000 miles on it, just bought it, however and the service engine light keeps going on for a day then off for a day, and right before it turns off, I get a gust of hot air through the vents. Also it needs new coolant and I don't know how to change it. However I love the way it drives, and the engine is so so quiet. Please also look for my 2 other posts and reply to them if you like. would be awesome.
