The car wont start with the new ECU because of the immobilizer. Your key has to be programmed to the new ECU. (have to bring it to the dealer for that. If you keep the new harnesses in your car and get that programmed it should run right.

Then you have to have YOUR key reprogrammed to the new ECU. only the dealer can do that.
