I disconnected the negative for about a hour. Started the car and engine light was gone for about 30 minutes, then came back...

If you go to your local auto parts store, Like Autozone or Advance Auto, they usually have a code reader that they will read your codes with for free. Sometimes they will even clear them for you.
