OK, what did I do wrong? I got a MIL after my O/R H-pipe install so I ordered a set of MIL eliminators and put them in Monday. I disconnected the negative battery cable for 15 min and the light went away, I noticed the stereo remembered its presets and the clock resumed from where it stopped. The light came back on today, did I not leave the battery disconnected long enough? I can bring it to Autozone to check it out, but they are over 25 miles away and hope I just did something wrong.

I know on my Fox to reset the computer I would have to disconnect the battery for a few min and then touch the ground to the positive wire breifly to discharge the capacitors. Do I do the same with this cars computer, I dont want to hurt the ECU.

Disconnect the batter again and then pump the brakes a few times. This should discharge any remaining power. If that doesn't rectify the issue you may need to have it scanned to verify the MIL's are really the problem.

P0136 is the code. I guess only one O2 eliminator is bad b/c it only has the error for the pass side Next time I will just get Steedas instead of some no name ebay brand, oh well live and learn
