Default CEL code 16 what the?

ok my 97 lude just came out of storage friday (yes i have to store it cuz we get alot of snow here)
anyway so when i stored it last october....i put some stabilizer in my fuel so the fuel wouldnt go to crap or creat deposits when i take it out in the spring...now the CeL light is on on the first start up....
anyway i checked the codes and it codes a 16...now unless im mistaking a 16 is a fuel injector code....i was thinking could this be related to the stabilizer i put in my gas? I filled my tank up again today with some fresh gas and drove a lot during the week end...and the CEL is still on...now do i need some new injectors...what is this telling me....correct me please if i have the wrong code or whatever...but from what ive read code 16 on a 97 lude is fuel injectors...
im a littel confused thanks

You are right code 16 is Fuel Injector System Defective or malfunctioning Fuel Injector System. I would try clearing the code by resetting the ECU and see if the light comes back now that you have run the car for a while. Simply remove the clock/radio fuse under the hood or remove the negative lead from battery for 10 mins to clear the code, make sure you know your radio code if needed before doing this.
