Default cali people...with "engine" light on...for smog

this might sound kind of dumb or it has been discussed before....but if you hv yr engine light "on" and need to smog your car,
just unplug the battery for a few seconds to reset the ECU and get the car smog within a few hrs before that engine light comes back "on" again....and you will pass!!!..that's what i did ystry and it worked!!!

as you know, most common problem with engine light being "on" is the EGR system...which either needs cleaning or replacing...


just my o2...
