How reliable are the 3.4 v6? Are these good engines? Any common problems with the 3.4?

 

i have a 125,000 on mine and the only thing that was replaced was the alternator. i believe there fairly reliable engines. they just lack horse power there only rated 160hp 200 tq at the cranck

 

Mine's 195,000 and all I've really done is a water pump. Runs better now then when I bought it.

 

whats the typical gas mileage on the 3.4?

 

buddy has one with 140,XXX ... gets about 19

 

i got my 95 3.4 and all ive changed is a tranny and an alternater

 

Alternator was the first thing replaced on mine too. Since Ive bought it though Ive had to replace the driveshaft (Managed to grab the last one in Ontario from a wrecker for only 300$) and a few things here and there. My A/C doesnt work though anyone wanna gimme theres? lol

 

mine has 170,xxx on it and purs like a kitten all oem parts on it still (exec plaus and wires)

 

What type of manual trans does the 3.4 have?

 

They have the t-5, mine had 140k and all I replaced was the water pump and it was my first car so it took a beating

 

Mine has 112,000 miles. Still runs pretty good for a 12 year old car. Took a beating from the previous owner (changed the oil and sand came out w/old oil), but doesn't burn any. Leaks coolant from somewhere and need new struts (pricey if you have a shop do it). Overall, I'd say the 3.4 is pretty stout and its reliability depends on how it was treated. My mileage averages 28-30 highway and about 22-25 city.
