I highly doubt that you have to get the computer reprogrammed simply becuase you disconnected the harness. If this was the case, all of us would have to get our trucks' computer reprogrammed everytime we replace or disconnect the battery. All the programming of your computer is stored on EPROM chips which are non volatile and do not require power to keep their programing.

As far as your staring problem, is your Service engine soon light on? If so, what codes are you getting? Have you done a leak down

If that was true, then I would have thousands of dollars invested in reprograming ECMs or PCMs.

It will fall back to factory default and then will relearn when you do get it started up.
Try checking your wires and make sure all the clips are back where they should be.
Its always a good idea to mark them when you pull them. As with my 95 I saw that some of the clips can fit in the wrong slot.
So I tagged each clip with the color socket they go back into (and numbered them on paper).
