Default Tuneup ? and Follow Up

well the tune up consisting of new plugs seemed to solve a major vibration
of the engine when AC was on .. badly worn out but clean plugs, nothing on
them , just deteriated tip and bad gap ..everything seem to be showing
clean, no carbon no nothing

now the new question is should I disconnect the battery and thus try to
reset the computer which was trying to compensate for the worn out spark
plugs .. and if so, how long to leave battery disconnected .. had tuneup
done at Jeep

thanks for all the inputs !!

Shouldn't really matter. It can take a few days for all the tests
to change from incomplete, so don't go for a smog test right away.

If the check engine light isn't on for a misfire don't worry about.
Otherwise ten seconds are so will do.
