I should have already found the new air/fuel ratio and adjusted
automatically. However, you can do this...

(1) Disconnect the POS side of the battery
(2) With the battery disconnected, turn you key to the START position and
hold it for 15 seconds. (This will "bleed off" any residual power in the
circuit)
(3) Reconnect the battery and drive you vehicle (like you normally do) for
about 30 minutes.

It should now be reset and adjusted to the new system.
