Four women were driving across the country. Each one was from a
Different place: Idaho, Nebraska, Texas, and Mexico.

Shortly after the trip began, the woman from Idaho started pulling Potatoes
from her bag and throwing them out of the window.

"What the heck are you doing?" demanded the Nebraskan.

"We have so many of these darn things in Idaho, I am just sick of looking at
them!"

A moment later, the gal from Nebraska began pulling ears of corn from her
bag
and tossing them from the window.

"What are you doing that for?" asked the gal from Texas.

"We have so many of these things in Nebraska, I am just sick of looking at
them!"


Inspired, the gal from Texas opened the car door and pushed the Mexican out.

i also read in another post you replied to about the EGR valve will that make the car idle funny as in it sounds like it wants to die and has a hard time idling.

yes i dohave the "4.9"the reason i ask about the EGR valve is every now and then my car idles funny and seems as if it doesnt want to stay at the right rpm when at idlethis happens when in P N or D when stoped. i have new plugs wires distributor and pickup coil. basicly the ignition system is all brand new and everything was fine until 3-4months after that stuff was replaced. my "SEL" comes on and thecode igot was for the "EGR system". thats all the codes i got . This cady is a great car for having 180,000 mi. engine and tranny are still in good shape. its just that theres alot of small problems i have here and there due to normal wear and tear. thanx for helping.

From the photo your car looks great, as you say just needs some fine tuning. The newspaper here has a Section called Wheels. They did a story on longevity of cars registered here in Ontario. The average GMC truck registered was 15 years old which surprised the editors but what blew them away was that in the luxury category the number 1 car was Cadillac which also averaged 12 years. Beacuse these guys are raised on Japanese imports and BMW's they couldn't figure it out. Maybe it's because it is a solid well built car, eh?

EGR - the code is telling you to do something about it. EGR system reburns exhaust gases so the engine is set up to recieve an intake charge that has air, fuel and exhaust gas in it. If the EGR system is malfunctioning and the charge is not as the engine expects it will idle and run poorly. Could be the EGR valve needs replacing. Harder to correct would be the EGR passages being carboned up.
