Welcome to the forum

There is a Crank sensor on the front cover, it reads the crank pulley's spin and times the spark and fuel injectors

Look for it and make sure its wires were plugged back in
The crank sensor pulse/signal is the ONLY WAY the computer even knows you are trying to start the engine

I have to ask if you properly timed the engine after swapping the cover. It is imperative you follow procedure to time it since its a 100% tension timed system, with no keyways. You absolutely need a timing kit to do one of these engines.

The crank sensor can be timed to the crank pulley/trigger wheel, count 9 teeth counter clockwise from the trigger gap, and set the crank sensor center-line in line with the center of the 9th tooth. The crank sensor trigger will usually have a mold/cast line across the center to aide in this. New sensors should come with a special tool that aligns the trigger.
