jeff,

jerry has a valid point to his post.......you are just making guesses at this point . based on the new info in your last post jeff, you have a multitude of possible issues. without the proper test equipment you are going to end up in the funny farm.......if the ford computer is being used get a EEC breakout box get some codes and find out what the hell the computer is getting. then the volt meter and a fuel pressure gauge to troubleshoot from there.
the fact of having a butchered up harness won't make it any easier.

i know this may send you over the edge, but sometimes starting over is the path of least resistance with the harness. you really don't even know if the chip was done correctly either. i would question anyone using duct tape for a reflashing of your chip....maybe send the chip out to another place and have it checked....
