Put in fresh gas and do an idle relearn... The 3.1 requires it when the battery is restored.

Sounds like the issue I'm having...I haven't solved it yet, similar circumstances too, mine is cammed and open headers atm, at any rate, if you figure out the problem please PM me...I'll let you know if I figure it out on my end, decent chance were having the same issue...
