That particular connection (on that car) is shorter than most...the positive PCM
connector from the positive battery terminal.  In moving the cable around to get the
battery in (or some other reason), we inadvertently unplugged it, after running the
engine for the first time.  It was dark, and the cable and connector are black.

We found it the next morning, after doing troubleshooting....good spark but no fuel
pump, and a dim CE light.

That episode burned into my brain for all time the symptoms for no power to the IRCM
and PCM.
