Won't start

I just finished a 2003 cummins in to a 2001 Ford. I used all Destroked parts, including the wiring harness. The engine ran when I took it out of the Dodge four months ago. Now that is time to start it. The dang thing won't start. It cranks and will run for a while on starter fluid. Any suggestions would be great.

Are you trying to run it off the Ford Computers?

I'm using the Dodge ECM with Ford PCM. Levi at Destroked did the wire harness.
Thanks for the question.

I don't know if you got a way to view data-but theres a few things i would check-Make sure you got good Crank and cam Sensor signals,and verify throttle position sensor,make sure its not reading 100% with blade closed. If all that checks out good,sounds to me you have a fuel delivery issue,or alot of air in your lines still
