Default sc400 issues need some help please!!!

I bought a 95 sc400. Got it at a good price. Drove the car for about a month. Then it would not start. Turned over just would not fire. Removed the aftermarket alarm and disarmed the factory. Couldn't get it to fire so I left it all winter. Now that spring is here I went through the wiring under the dash and soldered all the old splices and found a wire with a cut in it and soldered it also. Turn the key and she fired up. I was happy! Then I got out of the car and went to the front and it sputtered to a stop. !
Now it will fire up but stops after a couple of seconds. Will not keep running. I tried ecu, igniters, coil, and crank sensor. I also did the fuel pump ecu mod.Still doing the same thing. Get codes 14 and 15 now. When it would not start never had a code. Does anyone know what to try next? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

You might have cut a ground and you missed soldering it. codes 14 and 15 are ignitor signals. If you didn't know, you have 2 coils.

Thanks for the advise and you are right I didn't solder the ground under the dash. I will try that and post if it works.
