hi there. I have unplugged my battery from the car and was wondering how long it will take to clear the computer's memory?
The reason im asking is because I've been having issues with it, such as; the catalytic converter needed to be changed so I did...I changed the sparks plugs as well.

better off just going to local auto part store and ask them to delete your engine light codes. most do this for free. of course if you didn't fix the issues than the light will come back on after a few key cycles in ignition.
