I have to point out the huge glaring flaw in covering the CEL with tape:

How are you going to know if the CEL starts flashing if you are no longer able to see the light anymore? You might have started off with a loose gas cap code, and then switched over to a cylinder misfire code that burns a hole in your piston without you ever knowing.

I'm glad I didn't buy that car from you.
