I had a 99 Lesabre. I loved that car. I put 4 motors and 1 transmission in it. When the 5th motor blew I decided to let it go. It was getting to an age where I just couldn't find a good low mileage engine in the junk yard any more.

Great video Tom! So it's 5am and i was only able to watch half the video before i had to leave. So i took your advice to do the relearn manually. So I'm laying into the horn and going through the motions and the guy 2 house's down comes out with his shotgun. I thought maybe a burglar was prowling around his property. And he was hot on his trail. Well needless to say he must've thought the burglar ran into my yard because he fired off 2 shots and now i need a windshield and front left tire. The cops came arrested him for discharging firearm. So while the cops are questioning him. I have time to finally watch the rest of your video you devil you. No horn necessary! LMFAO! In hindsight i should've disconnected my horn and wired in a test light. And even more so i should've just used my scan tool. I sure hope the cops catch that prowler. Thumbs up! As always my friend!

I have a 2005 Buick LaCrosse 3.8L V6. On my return from taking care of my mother I started having somewhat of the same issue. I felt it was because I didn’t run my car for about 6 month. It was turned on here and their but not driven. The codes that it gave me are P0601, P0606, U0107. Also almost all the symptoms you said are the ones I get. Such as Service traction system, Reduced engine power, Starting disabled hesitation, and it shuts off while driven or at a stop.

If you're good with electronics. You can delete the EGR code from he cars computer, But you will definately have a cleaner stronger burning engine. And if you do have to do emission testing. You just plug the egr valve back in again ;) I've ran cars like that for 20 plus years. Zero issues. Only improvement ;) And the light will come on if the code isn't deleted. But will not affect anything. Just buy yourself a scanner OBD2 type. And just scan the car once in awhile to see if there's any codes beyond the EGR code. But in the end. You'll be adding years to your engines life. But respectfully. To each their own. :)
