Pretty sure those are keyed so they couldn't be swapped.

First off is this a custom built LSX or create LSX? What is this chassis is this installed in Z06 or ZR1. The reason I ask is you could have a different reluctor wheel (24 or 58) on the crank, this will cause you issues.

Reluctor wheel won't cause all those issues.

Z06 and shortblock build. They aren't keyed and buddy tried hard to swap kinda stupid but anyways they are right now. Would that if shorted the ecm? Electrical system is going nuts
like I said car completely off and you plug single connector for one bank Coils and can hear them sending spark

Sounds like you might have damaged a bunch of stuff by swapping those connectors. Best of luck.

Probably cheaper to buy a new ecu than pay GM to test it.
Have DSX setup you up with a new ecu.

Spend a few days educating yourself on WTF. A great place for you to start is LT1.com or net, cant remember which.
Then you'll understand where those pesky pink wires go, and understand most of the PCM controls are negative switched. One wired incorrect relay and you get poof....
If you "poofed", you better understand how a modern PCM functions, or you'll poof again.
I spent several days in research, and I'm glad I did, plus I was able to utilze many features often left out during LS swaps.
Once again, LT1.com

Sounds like you have somehow mixed up some constant "hot" 12v wires/harness with ignition switched "hot" this could be anywhere in a number of places including harnesses, starter, fuse box etc. have you blown any fuses? Probably going to need to test ECU and BCM at a minimum then figure out where the wiring issue is.

i ended up finding issue and really simple and luckly only popped 2 fuses. The ground wire that is near the starter wasnt on the block but on starter so it was all hot. move it and ECM and all was good to go. simple mistake on major builds like this. got lucky but car is running
