Is it possible I didn't reset the ECU properly?

Does it take drive cycles for the ECU to learn the new air and fuel? I've only let it idle and taken it around the block a few times. Had it on the highway for about a mile doin 60mph or so.

Just left auto zone with only #5 injector misfire. A checked a lot of wiring from the ECU to various parts yesterday with the help of the internet and my Haynes manual. No broken wires. Crank sensor is good.
going with replacement injectors.

At least they're easy to deal with... They're just sending another whole set to me. They asked how many injectors were bad and I told them two possibly three but it was hard to determine because I had to keep moving injectors to different ports and sometimes it would seem like things would change when I would unplug one and sometimes it wouldn't depending on the injector position I guess. I'll update when they show up... eBay shipping.

Got the new injectors and had to go through 3 of them to find the 2 I needed to swap in. Started right up and idles MUCH better than stock setup, also notice the better/smoother acceleration all around. Took about 3 or 4 drives around town to get the engine light to go out, but I was so relieved when it finally did. I filled up the tank and will post some MPGs improvements when I fill up again.
