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.

Have any of you bothered to see if the EGR passage in the head/intake man is blocked?

I can't remember which 5SFEs have which...* I'm not sure what you mean. on the 5s, the EGR valve is bolted straight onto the intake manifold and has a pipe that comes from the bottom of it. and yes, I did try to clean the pipe passage-way with engine degreaser. then rinsed with water in a sink. btw, I should really try to learn what the parts are before I call them something. so, basically the two hoses I swapped last night were on the BVSV for EVAP. but yet, the vacuum hoses from EGR and EGR vacuum manifold connect to it? and, I don't know where the two hoses from the actual VSV lead to... so, tomorrow hopefully I'm going to rip out the entire EGR system and check all the vacuum hoses, and clean out any passages I can. I might also seafoam the engine and see if that also clears carbon out of any EGR passages. I'll report back with my findings.
