UM/UIM policies are in case you are involved in an accident with a driver who doesn't have insurance or doesn't have enough. This policy is only in the event that the uninsured motorist is At Fault for the accident.

it is not necessary on all vehicles but it might be a good idea.

Decide Whether Undersinsured Motorist Protection Is Worth Buying?

Some states require drivers to carry underinsured motorist protection insurance. Often abbreviated as UIM, this coverage protects non-fault parties when property damage is sustained as a result of an auto accident. If the at-fault driver is not carrying sufficient liability insurance to cover all damage costs, UIM will usually take care of the gap.UIM And State LawsEven if a particular state does not require drivers to carry this type of coverage the law forces insurance providers to make it available to any driver who wants it. If this coverage is mandated by law the insurance quotes given a customer will include this cost. Many states also have laws that require insurance companies to offer UIM when a quote for uninsured motorist protection is given. Uninsured motorist protection insurance is separate from UIM and covers non-fault parties when the at-fault driver is carrying no liability protection.Medical costs for injuries sustained by non-fault individuals involved in a car accident are also covered by UIM. Some states require personal injury protection instead of UIM and this type of coverage takes care of medical expenses regardless of who was at fault in an accident.Exclusions To UIM CoverageSome states have very specific laws regarding items and injuries not covered by UIM protection. It is advisable to check with the state insurance board or an insurance provider to learn about specific exclusions to this type of coverage. Some states will not require an insurance company to honor a UIM claim if the insured was injured in an accident involving a second car owned by him or her. Some policies do not cover the cost of property damage or injuries caused by a person related to the insured. Insurance companies will also want to make sure the at-fault party cannot pay these expenses. If it is thought the at-fault driver can cover the costs of damage and/or personal injuries even without liability insurance, UIM claims may not be honored in some cases.Stacking UIM CoverageInsurance shoppers are advised to consult with their insurance provider concerning stacked UIM coverage. Owners of multiple vehicles may be able to use the available UIM protection on two different vehicles to cover the damage costs or medical expenses suffered in an accident. Even if only one of the vehicles covered is damaged by another driver, non-fault parties may be able to use the coverage on both vehicles to pay for damages to the vehicle involved in the accident.Each insurance company has its own rules concerning the paying of UIM claims. Most will hesitate to honor the policy until it has been determined the at-fault party has used all available liability insurance and can pay no more out of his or her own pocket.

How do you clean egr port in a 2001 Mercury Cougar?

We need a little more info here. Are you talking about the port on the UIM (upper intake manifold) or the EGR itself? The right way is to take the UIM off and give it a good cleaning. The quick way is to use Seafoam in the engine. There's a great how-to at newcougar dot org that explains both ways. I just don't have time to type it all out for you right now.
