Default Check Engine

Had a check engine flashing on my 90 gt 5.0. Went to autozone and dude read code and stated left side running lean. So I bought the LS O2 sensor and installed it. I did not reset the codes by disconnecting the battery. The light still comes on while driving. Is this normal or do I have some other problem? If I reset it... should it stop or should it have stopped blinking on when I replaced the sensor?

Thanks,
Don

As stated I replaced the sensor and it is still blinking.
Do I have to reset it again to stop it or should it stop on its own?
