Default another update

well I replaced the ECT and the ACT sensors and then fired the car up. It still ran like crap at first but didn't stall like it usually does when it's cold. The idle would drop until it started to stall, then it would rev up to about 2500 real fast as if I pressed the accelerator, and then drop down to around 600 or so.

After about a minute of that, it started idling normal. I was extatic!! I took it for a test drive and it ran great for about 2 miles, and then it started the same old crap again. It's in the same condition it was before I replaced the sensors.

I scanned for codes again and got 81, 82 and 85 like I usually do, but had a continuous code of 15. I think I misinterpreted it the first time as being 51. I had disconnected the battery and cut the headlight switch on and left it for 30 minutes while installing the new sensors.

I'm lost again. I hope my EEC isn't fried because I just bought it less than a year ago. I've read that a code 15 (KAM) could be from a short in the wiring, a bad EEC, or from disconnecting the battery. That doesn't really narrow it down too much since I disconnected the battery to reset the EEC. I'm gonna pin out the EEC with a DMM to check the voltage with the KOEO, and that should hopefully tell me if it's an EEC problem or an wiring problem. Any other suggestions?
