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.

The longest I got the light off was about 3-4 hrs. Throw some ideals at me guys I have 3 weeks lefted. the thing is, if they tried three different EGRs on there but didn't reset the computer (by pulling the EFI fuse) it could cause the CEL to stay on even if the problem was fixed. what needs to be done is after the new EGR goes on, reset the computer, there should be no CEL when you start the car, and if it doesn't come on again after the computer has relearned everything (I think it's supposed to be like 50 miles of driving.) then your problem is fixed. I'll let you know how it works out for me with the new EGR and vacuum module. --------------------  94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |
