re-setting check engin light?

well i did the Seafoam in the manifold thing through the brakeboost vacume line and now my check engin light is on all the time. is there a easy way to reset this or do i need to bring it to a dealer? everything seems to be running fine after the treatment.

take it to autozone. They can tell you what the code is and clear it for you for free. My guess is that you broke up some carbon and fouled up a sparkplug and you are getting a misfire now. If they tell you it is a misfire code then you have to replace your plugs, hope you have a 4 cylinder and not the V6 if you want that to be easy

Usually if you disconnect the battery for about 5 minutes it should reset. If it does reset and comes back on, then you need to check the code.

Yeah, the EFI fuse will work. It's the big square black looking one and not the little 15 amp one.
