cannot get this engine to run

checked the dist. with #1 up, the rotor is pointing to # 1 plug wire. It seems like this thing would run if the key stayed in the start pos. I had this problem with my Duster and I cannot remember what I did. It seems like it had to do with the ballast resistor. I just put a new one on and a new ECM. no change. The new ECM has only 4 pins where the old one had 5. But the paper says that is correct for Chrysler applications. pin replaced 5 pin one.

Bypass the ballast and see if it runs.
(Just long enough to fire it up for a few)
