You need to post this in the right section. there is a general automotive section in this forum for this kind of thing.

The easy causes would be things like spark plugs or wires. It is possible to lose two at once, but not as likely. Eitehr way, your spark plugs can be used as a good indicator of what is happening in the engine. Take them out and look for any differences between the plugs. I would start there. Then I would check out the wires and the cap+rotor too, if it is not direct-ignition. What engine is this? The 4 or the 6?

do buicks come with 4 bangers? I don't think so.

then again, you can buy 4 cyl dodge caravans there, and metros aren't turbocharged, so I don't know... Here, anyways you can't get buicks with 4cyls.

That looks like a Buick Skylark, which can come with a 3.0L or 3.8L V6. I don't think it came with the 2.4 4-inline. Those are the common 'workhorse' motors from GM among Buick and Oldsmobile (before Oldsmobile went out of buisness).

Check your ignition system - possible tuneup problem.
