I have a 1997 Ford F-150 that the check engine light is very persistant ive put new injectors on it new plugs,wires,intake,02 censor,and a complete wire harness check,then i hooked it up to the dyno and computer i have at the shop and all codes are reading correctly i have shut the light off with the computer many times but it comes back on everytime i know this is nothing serious but how can i get that light to stay off? (its annoying)

Knowing the actual code and engine size will be helpful.
Update: Are you using an aftermarket scan tool? There is a code present, it stores one every time the light comes on. Perhaps a factory scan tool such as the WDS or IDS would prove to be more efficient at pulling the code. It could be DPFE, I have seen a lot of these go bad, or clogged EGR ports, or vacuum leak, etc. A trip to the dealer for a diagnostic check could have saved you a lot of time and money.
