Default trouble codes

Well i just finished installing my s-trim and some other stuff, and have an sct chip with a base tune from bob kurgan in it right now. well i cant give the car any gas when its cold without it almost dieing. when it warms up the car seems to miss and will backfire and have no power when i give it some gas. the check engine light is on so i pulled the codes for KOEO, i did it with the engine running as well but did it wrong so i will redo it later after work. i got code 15 which is EEC permanent Read Only Memory test failure, and code 85 which is canister purge solenoid circuit failure. I'm unsure of what either of these mean so dont know how to go about fixing them so any help would be appreciated.

I'm not even sure if these codes are causing the driving problems, the car may just need to be tuned. I think the SCT meter and 60lb injectors may be causing part of the problem but I'm not getting the car tuned til i know what these codes are and if i need to fix them as well as getting a new clutch, btw if anyone has recommendations for a clutch for a 500hp street/strip car with a stock t5 i'm open to suggestions.

thanks.

What do you have that you need 60# injectors?

Because 42lb injectors usually are good for about 475hp and I should be at 500 and I was told by my tuner bob kurgan to put 60s on the car, I've also heard 60s have better drivability like stock than 42s. Won't matter because they will only be ran as high as needed for my setup so I could of used bigger injectors and still be fine.
