Re: Check Engine light - Need to pass inspection
The check engine light will be set when any trouble is detected in the emissions control system. Is the rest of the car kept in good condition and well-maintained with routine service?
If it is the EGR valve, you might be able to clean it and get it working properly. If not, they run about $200 for the part itself.
Bear in mind that Texas inspects vehicles yearly, so you'll have to fix it eventually. If all you have to spend is $200 on a 10-year old Av then you've done well...beats a car payment and higher insurance EVERY month on a new car.
Hope this helps!
