Autozone can read it and reset it if you're not sure how to do it.

If you click the link in my signature, it will take you to the top 100 questions thread.

Please read the thread when you get the chance.

Here is your answer

Q: How can I erase the CEL after I have fixed the problem?

A: Read here
http://www.technosquareinc.com/350reset.htm

Note, this will not "RESET THE ECU's FUEL MAPS" this will only delete CEL/SES light. IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE, YOUR TIMING IS OFF. THIS WORKS, TRUST ME, YOU CAN DO IT.

Every thought of unglugging the battery for about 10mins to reset the ECU. This always worked for me, but I haven't tried it on the Z yet.
