Default MILs and CEL

Ok, I put my o/r x and mils on. The cel light came on after about 50 miles and the car began to idle like **** and stall at stop lights, ran awesome above 1000 rpm though. So I popped the hood and disconnected the battery, waited 10 min and fired it up again. The cel turned off as I figured and the car idles normally again. My question is will the cel come back on again in another 50 miles or did the computer just need to reset with the mils? I didnt disconnect the battery when I initally put the mils on and installed the x pipe.

You should be ok. If not then the mil`s you have are no good. You did put them on the rear 02 sensors, right? [8D]

Yeah, they're on the rears. The pipe and mils were used though (ebay special, I love ebay) so who knows about the mils, the pipe is in great shape though.
