I have a 99 Buick Centruy that has some strange problems. It seems to buck while I am driving. I have replaced the top o2 sensor, to no avail. It has dropped gas mileage from 32 city to 20 city. Can you help? I am desperate!

Hi:

Have you had the computer scanned for codes? That would be my first step. To me it sounds like a map sensor of a mass air flow sensor, but don't replace them until you know for sure.

Most nationally recognized parts stores will scan it for free.

Let me know what you find.
