Q: gunbrunn wrote i could have kept that so tied up you would have been able to historic plates on the truck before you got it back. thats funny...cause id have your business license stripped by the public prosecuter...from where would you get the funds to pay a lawyer to keep it tied up funny thing is you would be paying for your own prosecution and defense. the local and state taxes you pay would go towards financing the prosecution and the profits you had prior to your business license being taken away would be used to pay for your defense. me...why id be driving one of my other vehicles and enjoying life randolf . 222 316856 1146252604.782223.158360@e56g2000cwe.googlegroups.com friends i know this is a dodge group but youve helped me in the past. the gm group isnt as active here so i thought id roll the dice. steve friends we have a 1998 lumina v6 3.1 with 88 500 miles. a few months ago it seemed to have an egr problem. here is the link to the previous thread http//groups.google.com/group/alt.autos.gm/browsethread/thread/655e... there was a lot of carbon buildup and the pintle seemed to be stuck open. i cleaned with carb cleaner and cleared the codes and it was okay for a while. the check engine light came on again and gave the code p0401 egr insufficient flow. it ran okay except for a slightly rough idle. i just took the egr off. the bottom of the valve the metal flexible tube that comes from the exhaust system and the manifold going into the engine is filled with if youll pardon the terminology a greyish or dull green snot like slime. its really the consistency of snot with some black stuff in it that i assume is carbon. any ideas what is causing this. its really gross. steve reply from shep - view profile date thurs apr 27 2006 705 am email shep djslj...@capital.net groups alt.autos.gm not yet ratedrating show options reply | reply to author | forward | print | individual message | show original | report abuse | find messages by this author loosing any coolant recently - hide quoted text - - show quoted text - friends we have a 1998 lumina v6 3.1 with 88 500 miles. a few months ago it seemed to have an egr problem. here is the link to the previous thread http//groups.google.com/group/alt.autos.gm/browsethread/thread/655e... there was a lot of carbon buildup and the pintle seemed to be stuck open. i cleaned with carb cleaner and cleared the codes and it was okay for a while. the check engine light came on again and gave the code p0401 egr insufficient flow. it ran okay except for a slightly rough idle. i just took the egr off. the bottom of the valve the metal flexible tube that comes from the exhaust system and the manifold going into the engine is filled with if youll pardon the terminology a greyish or dull green snot like slime. its really the consistency of snot with some black stuff in it that i assume is carbon. any ideas what is causing this. its really gross. steve ----== posted via feeds.com - unlimited-unrestricted-secure usenet ==---- http//www.feeds.com the #1 group service in the world! 120000+ groups ----= east and west-coast server farms - total privacy via encryption =---- reply rate this post text for clearing space from scorpio...@msn.com - view profile date thurs apr 27 2006 1234 pm email scorpio...@msn.com groups alt.autos.gm not yet ratedrating show options reply | reply to author | forward | print | individual message | show original | remove | report abuse | find messages by this author shep thanks for answering. no it doesnt seem to be. any possibility it is coming from the catalitic converter as stated in my original post the very first thing noticed was the rotten egg smell several months ago. the only other thing done was i replaced the fuel tank about a month and half ago. steve .
