UPDATE: SOLVED (see below)
I just purchased a Lincoln Aviator 2003. I pulled it in the driveway and turned it off. I pulled all the fuses to check their condition. I was also in the passenger floorboard area fixing a loose panel near the fuel shutoff button. When I tried to crank the Aviator for a quick trip it cranks fine but won't start (like it isn't getting fuel). I see a message on the dashboard that says "Fuel Computer Data Error". I thought I may have accidentally hit the fuel cut off switch but pressing it again didn't help.
I know this is probably just a dumb mistake but can anyone help? I don't know what to do. Thanks!!

Update: I had also loosened the nut in a white box in the passenger side panel. Apparently I didn't tighten it back enough. Once I tightened that bolt back everything worked fine. A completely dumb mistake, indeed.
