How do i reset check engine light?

[Bill Long]

I had some sputtering between 3,4 & 5 for a few weeks, dealership could not detect it... Then got worse & check engine light came on solid.
Thought it was my ignition coils (again!!!), checked the plugs before trying to test each coil & instead decided to replace the plugs (worked like a charm).

1. Now my concern is the check engine light did not go off, should it go off automatically or do i need to reset it, if so how do i reset the warning light?

2. Secondly, if i in fact did not correct the right problem, will the computer pick it up again & bring the warning light back on?

Please excuse my lack of knowledge as I am a novice gear head...

You can either...
A. Disconnect the battery and leave it like that for a half hour.
B. Disconnect the battery and touch the two terminals together.

The computer will NOT turn the light off even if you've remedied the problem.
