I did this swap on a friend of mines car when we did it we changed out the engine harness along with the engine didn't have any problems starting it up so it maybe the harness, however I'm not an expert.

Nah, that wire shouldn't keep it from starting. If it's flooded, then when you try to start it, it will smell like gas - if that's happening, then when you do the unflood, keep cranking until it starts and dies right away, then you should be unflooded enough to plug everything back in and start it.

Otherwise, you're looking at a different issue.
