Default PLEASE HELP ME!! car wont start after taking out air bags and heater/ AC

I took out all my air bag stuff and all the heater and ac stuff i had to take the pcm out to get it out, i plugged everything back in and went to start it the fuel pump primes and everything else works just when you turn the key to start it the express module clicks and wont turn the starter over. we jump power down to the starter and spliced into the wire it started but wont stay running unless the wire stays connected but then the starter wont disengage.PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN

check all your wire connectors over by the right hand kickpanel of the car. Theres about 4 connectors under the kickpanel that go through the firewall by the pcm. By chance you may have pulled a wire out or damaged a wire. Try to get the car scanned for codes, this will lead you in the right direction rather than just guessing. You're probably missing an ignition power source somewhere. Check all your fuses.
