Since it's system-wide, it could be the ECU itself or an ECU power/ground problem.

Blown ECU....happened to me on one of my old TII's....turn the key to the on position and listen to fifty billion solenoids clicking in the engine bay and nothing happens when you try to crank it...at least that was my problem.

Be sure your harness isn't shorted... it may take the stock ECU down with it!

Those connector are all on the same branch of the engine harness - I suggest you disconnect your battery and start checking it very closely at that branch for shorts. (Use an ohmmeter).
