I've also disconnected the battery with a door open to clear codes, reconnected it and the CE light would still come on after a couple of miles. Any opinions other than pulling the fuse???

The 2nd issue is really bugging me. There is a loud hum noise comming through the air box when the car gets warm (Kinda like a vacum cleaner)...



Welcome . What transmission?

First issue. Continue scannning until you get the codes. Also check if Fuse 11 is loose. Tighten the fuse holder.

Second issue. Yes, it is the moose. If auto, don't get the bagpipe fix (96 fix). With 96 fix, you can't check the tranny fluid unless you modify the piping. Get the 97 fix with 45 degree pipe and IAC valve.

Lots of good info here
