I have a 2000 buick century custom. Its got 141000 on it
its old but I love my car and it seems to be ons its last leg at this point. The problem is it starts overheating and bucking really hard after about 15 - 20 minutes of driving and after that shoots out water and anti freeze out. I dont know what happans after that because I always shut it off and let it rest for about 2 hours I cant even go out of town with it. Iv bin to so many people and they all tell me diffrent things so the last person said change the anti freeze so I did it doesint over heat anymore but still bucks like a bull if drivin to long. Someone elses said the fan isint turning on whitch I had fixed but still it bucks. I dont know what to do or even what to look for when driving at high speeds its sluggish it wasint always like that but latly it is. Does anyone know what I should look for or who to go to.

By the sound of it, your car has been overheated one too many times. I would have a mechanic do a compression test on it to see it you have a blown head gasket or worse a warped head or two. If you are luckly it is only a blown head gasket.
