    How dose it sound when you start? Dose it try to stay running before it cuts off? What color is your smoke? White, Black, or Blue? Try the cheap things first, check your filters.

    Did you use your original coil packs and control module....or one that was on the replacement engine? Control modules usually completely die, but, I have come across a couple that were still trying to work.

    Good advice.......especially since it looks like you did some painting....make sure all your grounds are getting good contacts on the metal parts and paint is not interfering with that.

    I forgot to reconnect my trans connection once and it started for about one second and shut off, that's why I suggested it. There are two connections visible under the hood.

    It is the control module under the coil packs I am questioning.

    I would use what I knew worked for certain. Should only take a couple minutes to swap out.

    Cps/ckp? Whichever way you call it. Crank signal could be. Commonly fail anyway could be it.

    Just for kicks, do you have a different key? Like a valet key?

    I know you said the security light doesnt flash but give that a try and or do the re-learn.

    I agree try re-learn, and grounds. Haha I know this sounds stupid but try putting in some more gas. At this point any thing is worth a try.
