Do a search for the paper clip test, that'll at least point you in the right direction of what's upsetting your car. That will probably lead to where your spare multi-pin plug should go.

Sounds like the remains of an old crank sensor.

Read the codes to determine wheat the ECU doesn't like.

As for the head re-build, points to note from experience:

The non-gen head kits contain a few gaskets etc that should go straight in the bin as they are crap:

Cam cover gaskets
Cam seals (50% of them will leak, your better off re-suing the old ones!)
Exhaust manifold gaskets (composite ones so leak quickly, gen are multi layer metal)
All inlet gaskets (poor quality and deform badly, re-use the old ones)

Did you check and replace any valve guides as they often get cracked when the valves get bent?
