non starter help needed urgently

Hiya people need your help I have a defender 90 td5 stripped it all had chassis galvanised etc. When I rebuilt it I lost me ecu earth so I put I direct earth to the ecu from the negative on the battery that solved the problem but ever since I stripped it the stupid thing I was having trouble getting it started. I was having to use easy start to make it fire up this worked ok for a while but now it won't start at all. Just turns over I've noticed the fuel pump in the tank is staying on for a while and it's not shutting off. And also when I try connect to the ecu it's saying connection error on the diagnostic machine but the ecu light is showing on my dash when I turn ignition on. Need serious help anything is really appreciated

Sounds to me like the immobiliser may be causing the problem, loss of power can cause the 10AS to lose sync with the engine ECU.
