I have a 1996 Buick Century Special, 3.1V6
Recently I have had problems coming from my engine. When I Accelerate I hear a squealing noise, and it seems to have loss of horsepower. When Im going uphill it is hard to get past 10-15MPH. I have recently replaces the fuel filter and fuel pump. Any Suggestions?
