Default HELP!!!!-motor swap 96 w/trac into 95 without trac- doesn't run

Did a motor swap from a 96 ls to my 95 ls. The 96 had trac. Control mine doesn't. New harness has extra plug that went to Trac control ecm. Another difference was old throttle body wasn't eletric and new the one is. Using old ecm that plugged right in. Would crank but not start. But would fire up with starting fluid. Checked fuel lines and am getting gas. Found a coil unplugged. After plugging back in and finding no more loose plugs. Still won't start. Only cranks. Any ideas? Thanks in Advance!

Use long block from 96 and intake manifold and engine wiring harness from the 95.

Recently swapped an LS430 (3UZ-FE) into a 1999 LS400 originally (1UZ-FE).

Essentially plug and play but required LS400 engine and starter wiring harnesses, ignition coils, throttle body, exhaust manifolds, upper and lower oil pan and fan bracket bearing.
