Can you do an injector buzz test? If not, take an ohm meter and place one lead on the very center pin of the flat 9 pin connector that goes into the valve cover harness. (unplug this harness near the inboard center of each head). Place the other lead on the two prongs just right and two prongs just left of center, and look for an ohm reading of less than 5. They're usually in the 3.2 - 3.5 range. If you see one or more injectors ohm out at a higher or lower number than the rest of them, you might want to pull that valve cover again.
With that said, it's very unusual for a loose UVCH to cause the truck to die. If you had a P13xx code, it was likely an P1316 IDM code, not a 12xx ICP code. A bad IDM could cause your truck to die.
Can you monitor ICP pressure (looking for 500 psi) and IPR or ICP % or duty cycle while cranking? Try looking at those numbers and let us know what you see. Is there any smoke coming out of the tail pipe while cranking?
