Hi Nancy..
Cherry bombs are quite restrictive and don't do you any favours performance wise. Possibly an O2 cell is causing this as you have two (I think, one below each exhaust manifold on the pipe).
Best you find out what the code is that's causing the warning message, as its possibly had a wire moved/damaged etc. when the cherry bombs were fitted.
If you disconnect the battery first though for a minute, this will remove any stored codes and you can see if it comes back when you reconnect and start up..
Good luck..
A ----- Start this procedure in cool, open area.
1 - Disconnect the battery (both posts).
2 - go inside vehicle and turn ON every available accessory ( ignition key, head lights, radio, wipers, fans, etc...)
Of course nothing will work; that's not the point.
3 - after a few minutes turn OFF every available accessory.
4 - reconnect battery.
5 - start engine and let idle for 10 or 15 minutes.
This is a re-learn.
Used to store electricity, capacitors often help computers avoid losing their memory when the battery is disconnected.
The 1996 computer system has several capacitors (even some in the radio).
The purpose of having all components ON while battery is disconnected is to drain the capacitors.
Thus removing as much electricity/memory from the 1996 system as possible.
If a code pops up from this point; it can be read as accurately as possible.
