A couple days later the CEL came on with the infamous 171, 174 lean both sides. Before I go into checking all of the possible solutions to this problem , is there anything the Battery installation could have done to cause this. I notice there are lots of wires coming from the battery terminals. Are there any vacuum hoses under there that could have been damaged? BTW the code has been reset once and came back on in a couple of days. Thanks for any help. 1998.5 Mystique LS V6

Reset the Computer by removing fuse #11 , 3amp. So far ok with 5 restarts and 24 hours. Thanks. 1998.5 Mystique LS V6
