Welcome to FTE and the IDI diesel forum.
Installing the fuel shut off solenoid incorrectly will cause the engine to run away as soon as it is started.
No govenor, no way to shut the fuel off.
How did you get it stopped?
The air is probably from the return lines.
Air in the return lines lets the fuel drain back to the tank.
No fuel, no start, no run.
