Black smoke is an indication of an overly rich fuel/air mixture. This can be caused by many things. On a 20 year old car I would start by replacing all spark plugs and plug wires. Then inspect all vacuum hoses for cracks or tears. Replace as necessary. See if that solves the problem.
I have a 2000 Lumina and I got about 26-30 MPG.
There is no such thing as a 2005 Chevy Lumina
why does my 1991 Chevy lumina that when going up a hill or when it reaches approximatly 65 mph starts hestitating, when cars get older they do that.
The 1999 Chevrolet Lumina gets 17 miles per gallon in the city, and 26 miles per gallon on the highway. It has a V6 engine.
Consider this - I have a 91' Chevy lumina with 256k miles on it, and aside from an oil leak, it still runs like a top
The 1997 Chevrolet Lumina has an EPA Economy of 17 miles per gallon in the city, 26 mpg on the highway, and an average of 21 mpg.
You realize this number, as written, means this car has over 1 million miles on it...
There is no firm answer to this question, a well cared for car can last 300000 miles. A poorly cared for or neglected car could be ready for the junkyard at 60000 miles.
Miles Black was born in 1966.
same problem with my 91 lumina. change your crank sensor (only 18.00) # its hard to start! # its a pain to drive # and mine only went for about 5 miles!!!
i have a 3.1 in mine and i get like 20 city and 24 highway
Our 1999 Chevy Lumina car - 3.1L at 150k miles has been very reliable, to date replaced alternator, reg tune up items (belt, hoses, ect...) and brakes.
