Check engine light.

Is there a simple way to turn this light off so I can pass an emmissions test? It's been on for about 5 years. It actually comes on and off as I drive.

Actually depending on what state you are in if the check engine light does'nt come on with key on - engine off, they won't test the car and may even fail you. Better to pull the codes and find out why it's on.
