Why not just repair it. Use a code scanner to figure out what's
wrong, and replace the faulty part then the check engine light will
go off normally. The light is there as a diagnostic tool to tell
you that you need to read the computer code and repair the problem.
Agree with above. Fix the problem and it may improve your gas
mileage. Most likely a O2 Sensor located on the Exhaust manifold
before the Catalytic Converter. Go to AutoZone and ask them to run
a free scan to see what the code is reading. Fix the problem..don't
make it impossible to know when your engine is out of oil by
removing the only indicator lamp. Good luck.

Asked in Water Pumps
How would you know if water pump failed on Chevy Impala?
Without proper water circulation through the engine block the
engine will rapidly overheat. The first warning will be the water
temp gauge or idiot light, and you will start smelling a strange
odor coming from the engine compartment. Stop the motor at once ...
have it towed to the nearest garage for repair. Further driving
without proper water flow will permanently damage the engine beyond
repair.

Asked in Physics
What does a ticking sound which increases in frequency with increase in speed coming from the engine mean?
It sounds like the engine timing. The sound is coming from your
engine valves. They're not in synch with the rest of your engine.
It could also be that the valves are worn out. I'd check the timing
first, then the seating on the valves.
