Am I looking at a tow back to the tuner’s ?
Hey, new to LS Motors (swapped a 2010 5.3 into a Toyota Land Cruiser )
one of the two plugs into the engine control module had lost its top plastic cover. Without disconnecting the battery, I popped off the plug to tape it.
Now the engine turns over but does not start. Did I just blow its mind ?

Quite possibly. Most of the engine harness manufacturers caution against doing what you did. Do your injectors flash with NOID lights connected? This is why I keep a spare, configured PCM sitting on the shelf . . . cheap, convenient insurance.

You should be able to pull the pcm out and bring it to your tuner and he will be able to tell you if it bricked or not. If it did, get a new one and have him load the tune on it

The shop’s not far, just never seen it so busy. I’m sure it would be weeks till they met thier current commitments, and get to the guy that screwed up
Hoping I could check off as much as possible beforehand.

Not sure closing this thread will do anybody any good in the future. But it turns out there is something broken somewhere internal of the lever action. All four posts on the ECU side of the plug were in gaged. The connector would cinch down a little, but would “pop out” during the last little bit of lever travel. Though the lever finished where it should be, it did not get the last little bit of a suck down. As a result myplug was not completely seated.
A little of this & that, got the sucker completely seated and ......vroom, back in business

Removed the clamp after the lever locked into place. Note the plug is seated on the ECU
Note how the top plug “stands off” the ECU, though the lever is in locked position.
