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.

ok, so today I put on a new EGR valve, vacuum module, and a new sensor (the one that plugs into the EGR valve). I pulled out the ECU and EFI fuses for aprox. 30 seconds, then put them back in. I've started the car 3-4 times, but haven't driven it very far yet. so far no check engine light though, so if it really does come on during the second drive cycle then the problem is fixed. I'm 99% sure the problem is fixed, but I'll let you know if it does happen to come on after a little more driving.
