Default 96 Ram 1500 4x4 5.9L Trans Swap now won't stay running

The Original trans went out in my truck. Went and bought one from a salvage yard and put it back in. Broke Original Crank sensor, so I replaced it, twice. While replacing it I broke some Vacuum lines on the left hand side of the motor. Went and got new lines and replaced the ones going into the T fitting. I tried to start the truck and she will start but she has a very Rough Idle, spits and dies. Won't stay running at all. I went back to the vacuum lines and found a grey line was broke that runs behind the motor. Reran that line so it would make it back to it's fitting. All Vacuum lines are in their fittings very snug. Evan the one that runs down below the Battery. ANY IDEAS??? New Member thanks for any help before hand.

What brand crank sensor did you get? These trucks REALLY don't like aftermarket sensor in critical locations.... they are more expensive, but, grab one from the dealer.

I got one from the dealer. Don't remember the brand and since I use my Dad's Shop (Towing Shop not mechanical) someone came behind me and "cleaned Up" throwing paper work and boxes away. I have a regular job so I am only able to work on her some nights through out the week. This has been about a month long project. There are no codes showing up either. Thought I would add that in there.

Does it stay running if you give it gas or just spits and dies no matter what you do?
