engine light Options

[celicaboston1983]

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. wow. I'm stupid. So, I thought the vacuum module and VSV were the same thing. so, I replaced the vacuum module, but not the VSV. BUT, at one point in time, only shortly before my CEL came on, I had unplugged the two hoses from my VSV for a while (I was trying to disable my EGR some more power... when I reconnected it was when I had problems) so, some thought occured to me today, what if I mixed those two little vacuum hoses up and plugged them in wrong? so, I switched them, and reset my ecu. I did what the BGB said to do after resetting the ECU to clear a CEL. which was to jump the TE2 and E1 terminals in the diagnostics box, start the car, turn off all accessories, and let it warm up all the way and then idle for 5 minutes. well, the car was already warmed uo, but I let it idle for about 7-8 minutes. and the CEL never came back on. so, I can't say for sure until I drive the car around for a day or two. but I may have fixed it (though, I've said that before and been wrong). So, it may be that the VSV has gone bad for you and all the other people on here that are getting the code 71. or they just mixed up the hoses like I did. i don't know for sure yet though.
