Engine won't start after dash pullout

Hi All,
Hoping for some help here. Pulled the dash out of my 120 Prado Grande V6 to replace AC evaporator. Got everything back together and the motor won't start - cranks and I can smell fuel. It did sort of start at first then when I touched the throttle it stopped. Seems like it is seeing the key (tried all 3 anyway) the security light on the dash goes out when you put the key in. Any suggestions?

You will need to check all the connectors.

Solved.
Engine ECU having being unplugged needed to "relearn" settings needed some throttle to start- you normally don't need to touch the throttle peddle to start. Idle was really low when it started then after driving and warming up went back to normal.

Whew, that was as a relief I bet.

Sure was 3 days of stress and extra dash pull out practice I could have done without!
