you need to put tech 2 on the car to reprogram the ecm and immobiliser,did you replace the ecm?once everything is reconfigured you should be all good to go

classic DIY problem. the pumps on these engines have an ecu unit built into them. they are programmed to the cars ecu unit and will only work with that ecu unit. it is possible to have the pump unmounted from the ecu (bit like unmounting a USB device from a computer) and having it reprogrammed to the new ECU but it's gonna cost. it is possible to remove the ECU unit from the pump and swap it over so you could put the original pump ecu in the new pump. there are tutorial videos on youtube showing you how to do it.
the lack of fuel could be due to the system needing priming too using a manual hand primer.
