I would check the grounds that connect to the intake runners since you had the engine out and needed to remove them.

I posted about that previously, because I asked myself the same question. I had the pressure gauge hooked up, and the fuel pump was putting out 37psi when the key was turned on. I cleaned the dme grounds practically to the molecular level, and cut the zip ties and separated the wires leading to the ignition switch, looking for a stray short or loose wire. I also disconnected the remote starter button, and tried just the switch in the dash - no change.

I had previously "fooled" the DME by pulsing the ref sensor against the fender, which is why I'm wondering if the stored logic was in run mode, not shut down mode. The car was running with no signal whatsoever from the reference sensor at the time power was last cut at the switch. Surely not all processing is done in real time continuously. That would be too much. There must be memory of some sort in the dme brain.

It's an interesting possibility anyway.
