Will not start after bottoming out and pulling out the wire that runs through a pigtail located between the canister and the fuel tank

I bottomed my car out driving through my neighbor's yard and the 10-pin wiring harness was caught a loose under my vehicle.

Good morning,

Can you please send me pictures of the connector, so I know what to look for?

I need to see the connector to help.

I bottomed my car out driving through my neighbor's yard and the 10-pin wiring harness was caught a loose under my vehicle. It is the 9 wires that run through a pigtail located between the canister and the fuel tank. The car was still running after this happened until I turned it off myself. Now it won’t crank. The wires were not matching colors, so I had to do a lot of research to get it wired back together. I couldn’t salvage the pigtail it was pretty messed up. So, my question is, which wires do I need to hook up to make the car at least crank exactly? I need to get it running to drive it to the shop to have it repaired correctly! Or what else could be causing my car to still act like it’s out of gas when trying to crank it?
