It does'nt sound like the ecm. Check fuses,re-check wiring job. If you put the fuel filter back in the tank,Check your crossover hoses inside the tank. It could even be crappy gas with sediment. Also before i forget, Check your fuel pump wires. Run a quick diagnostics check off your speedo and see if you get a code.

If all you cut were the wires to the idiot lights and the fuel guage and the ignition was off, you shouldn't have had a problem. Those wires carry no current when the ignition is off. I'd look elsewhere.
