My engine light has been on for two yrs now I believe it was the egr code. And I'm probley not gonna bother fixing it. I was just wondering if there anything I can do to disable the check engine light like pull a fuse or bulb I need my inspection sticket done soon.

so, another day of driving and the CEL still has not come back on! woot! perhaps all I needed to do was clean that port from the exhaust, even though I really didn't clean it all that thoroughly, I just took a couple Q-tips and shoved them in there, they went it white and came out black, so I must've cleaned something. either that, or the seafoam I used helped clear something out. I only used seafoam in the intake, not the oil or the fuel.
