Not a whole lot to go with here. Any symptoms before it dropped into limp? Any readings from an OBDII reader (fuel trim, timing, etc.)?

Ok so you have an engine that was working. Has it been operating at all since you installed it in the "new" TL? Was there a problem with the "new" TL before the replacement engine? Were they the same year?
Does your OBDII reader give you operating information or just error codes?
What happens when you crank the engine? You said it won't stay running, what does it do, how long does it run?
When you pulled the engine I assume you replace the timing belt etc.? Are you sure you had everything lined up correctly?
You replaced parts, but have checked spark, fuel, air? Did the wiring harnesses line up and nothing is missing?

What did you pull to make it throw a code?
What is the idle like with the code thrown?
Will it idle if you disconnect the IACV?
