#288 of 849 Hi Majikjenie by prestone Mar 05, 2001 (4:06 pm)
This information may be too late for your purchase of the 1998 Lumina you were looking at.   I drove a 1998 Lumina LTZ for 3 years and really enjoyed it except for one major problem. The problem is that I'm only 5'1 and had to sit very near the steering wheel in order to reach the pedals.   While driving my LTZ for three years (overall, it was a great car!) I worried about the possibility of an accident severe enough to deploy the airbags, fortunately, that moment never came. When looking for another car to lease this last summer, I did look long and hard at the new Chevy Impala LS, but it just didn't fit me well. I ended up with a 2000 Mercury Sable LS Premium which had a great feature, factory installed electric adjustable pedals! (These pedals adjust up to three inches with the touch of a button!) I had found a car that perfectly fit me! Now I sit about 12 inches from the steering wheel.   Ford Motor Company makes several cars with the adjustable pedals, the Ford Tarus, Crown Victoria, thier near twins, the Mecury Sable and the Mercury Grand Marquis.   I drove Chevy's for 15 years and hope they will soon incorporate adjustable pedals in their vehicles.   I know of several sites on the Internet that sell pedal extensions. They are......... www.automobility.com/page2.htm www.garyecolleinc.com www.pedalextenders.com   Hope some of this info will prove useful to you Majikjenie. Take care
#289 of 849 3.1V6 Performance Upgrades by chuck98 Mar 10, 2001 (9:50 am)
I drive a 98 Lumina with the 3.1 V6 It has acceptable power but i'd like to try to get a few more hp out of it if possiable. Are there any reasonably affordable ways to make this motor perform better? Ive heard of the K&N air filters helping, but by how much? What about a new computer chip? Thanks
#290 of 849 96 Lumina not starting by porchdoggie Mar 19, 2001 (6:41 pm)
My 96 Lumina sometimes won't turn over. I bang the under hood fuse boxes until it'll go, sometimes waiting 5 min. does the same thing. Anyone have any ideas, the fuseboxes are filthy, I tried cleaning them with limited success. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree...

#292 of 849 95 & 99 Lumina (No Problems!) by kunze1 Mar 25, 2001 (9:19 pm)
We put 50k miles on a base 95 Lumina with 3.1 engine with no problems at all. Sold it and got a 99 Lumina with same motor and have 12k on it. Again, no problems, just change the oil and go. Bench seats are quite comfortable to us, even on long all day trips. 3.1 motor has plenty of power for passing on two lane roads. Get 29 to 31 mpg on 70 mph interstate drives. Too bad they are ceasing production! Great, roomy, economical car to buy and drive!
#293 of 849 leaking oil by jindie Mar 27, 2001 (10:47 am)
I have the 92 3.4. I don't think it's burning oil, but it seems to be blowing it out on the exhaust. I have to put in about 1 quart a week at least, and I don't drive a lot. We replaced the rear main seal; that didn't fix it. It smokes when I stop from the oil on the exhaust. It runs very well going down the road, lots of power...the motor doesn't sound bad...the pcv valve has to be replaced quite often, it gets gooey...Please help! I love how the car runs, but it's killing us on the oil!
