you better hope the light doesnt come on during the test. We're supposed to fail a car is the light isnt working/or comes on. Come by my shop i'll take a look at it for you. PM me for details.

Check the vacuum lines going to the EGR valve & carbon cannister. Remove the intake & spray some carb cleaner into the intake manifold. Also spray some carb cleaner into your EGR valve. Try pouring a can of fuel injector cleaner into your gas tank & taking the car on the freeway for a little high speed romp. When was the last time you had a tune up? Changed the distributor cap & rotor? How are your spark plug wires?
Since you said you cleaned out the EGR valve & your code returned back to 55..normal, it's possible that you just had carbon buildup in the EGR valve restricting airflow back into your intake. Thats why you kicked a code...cuz of the carbon buildup. Now that you've cleaned it out you should be okay.
Disconnecting the Check Engine Light is NOT a good idea. Usually the Smog Check Tech will check your dashboard for the Check Engine Light to come on when he puts the key into the ignition & turn it to the ON position - he doesnt have to start your car. If he doesn't see the CE light come on, he will automatically fail you for NOT passing the VISUAL portion of the Smog Check.
Anyhow, hope this helps.
