Starts and then dies

So I stole the box (silver) from my 84 parts truck, nothing. I then went to napa and got a new silver box, and vroom it went. So after a 20min drive to see how it runs and a gas-up I came home to push my parts truck into my shop, which involved multiple pulling and pushing attempts. Anyway, just as I start pushing it inside, it started running rough to the point where I couldn't keep it idling. Apon several failed restarts I figured I got a defective box. I exchanged it for a black, and to no surprise it didn't remedy the problem. At this time I forgot about the ballast, so I bypassed it a vroom it went, so I figured it was the ballast all along so I pulled the one from my 84, yet still no runner. I figured coincidentally both box/ball where faulty so I got a new one just to make sure, unfortunately still nothing. I then checked if the blue/yellow "run" wire at the module had voltage, and it does. So at this point I'm stumped and would greatly appreciate any help. Much thanks!!! :)***
