Default EEC woes

Alright I got my codes, tried to fix what was wrong. Now I have left the battery off for more than 15 minutes and the exact codes are coming back. Even after disconnecting the battery all night. Is there any chance that the computer is not reseting. Has anybody else had this problem?

The codes are 51, 22, 53, 54, 35, 67, 81, 82, and 85. BUT I figured out what the problem is. I have been messing with this for a while. I replaced the ECT, ACT, TPS and BP sensor. That did nothing. So then I did continuity checks on the wiring. That all checked good. So I opened the EEC and whata ya know. There were 3 burnt resistors. I have a new one coming in tomorrow. I bought the car for only 1200.00 becuase the previous owner had burnt up some wiring. I have it all fixed now. Just chasing down the little things.
