Did you insure all the injectors and glow plugs are plugged in?

Did you insure that the harness is plugged into the gasket?

Did you bump or unplug anything else?

So you cut the old harness out and plugged it in? Did you match the wires up properly?

Its a PCM, not a ECM, but I do not think that is the issue.
