Oh hell I thought it was scientific procedure or something. I kept reading in these threads where you are supposed to reset your computer when changing out certain parts. I have an OBD-II Scan tool that I use to read the CEL codes and erase them with. Thanks anyway.
It doesn't reset the CEL or codes ... it dumps the learned behavoir in the PCM that is no longer valid due to altered configuration (changed parts). The computer is reset to a default factory configuration and it will relearn how you drive over a few days or so.

Disconnect the battery and turn the key to crank. It will take less than a millisecond for all the energy to dissipate from the system. By the time you get back to the battery, all the caps will have discharged and it will be clear.

So I'm not actually holding the key all the way forward as if I'm starting the vehicle just forward to where if the battery was connected it would light up the dash?

Can someone tell me after what particular parts should I reset the pcm?
