Yes, with all 3 connectors unplugged the car starts immediately and runs very well. With all 3 connected, has a lot of trouble starting and no gauges seem to work correctly.

I will try some things that John described above for mixed up connectors to plugs and clean the copper edges of contact points and spray some cleaner into the plugs.
