No Start Issue

Hey everyone, Im new here. Anyway I'll jump right into it. I have a 98 Expedition xlt 5.4l, the other day driving down the road in heavy rain, truck just died and would not restart(would crank, but no start) luckily was only like a mile from house. Got it towed to the shop nearby, turns out two wire harnesses under the air box were weathered (wires broken) but fixable. now it still wont start, but injectors are staying open and temp guage reads high (even though engine hasnt been started in days). Engine eventually hydro-locked, took plugs out (except for #8, cant get cop bolt off, corroded and stripped) got all gas out of other cyliders, still wont start. Is it possible the ECM got fried allowing the injectors to stay open? And if I get another ECM from junkyard does it need to be reprogrammed?
No codes present
Any help appreciated.

It's more likely a problem at the repair in the harness. Perhaps 2 wires are connected together that shouldn't be.
