A few months ago when I moved to Reno I picked up a 1994 Buick regal 3.8. Overall for what I paid for the car I don’t have much to complain about.  
  
  
  
 One thing is driving my crazy. As I’m driving there seems to be some minor bucking, almost like having bad gas).  
  
  
  
 I took the car to Buick for a diagnostic and they game me a list. I picked up all the parts myself and had my mechanic do the work.  
  
 PCV valve  
  
 Plugs  
  
 wires  
  
 Serpentine belt  
  
 O2 filter  
  
 air filter  
  
 Oil change/filter  
  
  
  
 And no guess what? It’s still doing it. It’s very minor and I may be the only one that feels it but it’s there.  
  
  
  
 I was thinking it could be the catalitic convertor, or maybe fuel injectors. Both aren’t cheap.  
  
  
  
 Does this model have any history of problems such as this and should I even worry?
