Default Check engine light

Does auto zone have the free engine check? I asked because i changed my valve cover gaskets and when i put everything back together the check engine light came on... I have no clue what ti would be... checked all the vacuum lines, and all the connections and still cant find out what it could be.... Thanks Nick

First..I'd check the evap on the front valve cover. You might have reversed the lines. And yes..they do.

Then to reset the computer to make the light go away i have to take unhook the battery for 10 mins right? thanks Nick

On my '98, for some reason or other, it takes much longer. Sometimes I just leave it unhooked overnight :? (just in case your ten minutes doesn't work)
